The increase in price is 140% of the original price.
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is a whole quantity.
Now the new price is 140% more than it was, so the new price is
100% + 140% of the old price.
100% + 140% = 240%

Now we find 240% of $50.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

240% of $50 =
= 240% * $50
= 2.4 * $50
= $120

Answer: 10 ft of gold wire now costs $120
Gold wire now costs $12 per foot.

An angle measures 156° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Angle 1: 168

Angle 2: 12

Explanation:

I did the math! basically, i did 168-156, and got 12. Then i added, 168+12, and got 180. So i know that both angles together make 180 degrees, which is the definition of supplementary angles.

he nutrition label for Oriental Spice Sauce states that one package of sauce has 1100 milligrams of sodium. To determine if the
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean sodium content in Oriental Spice Sauce is between 454.67 milligrams and 1722.61 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 40 - 1 = 39

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 39 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.7079

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.7079*234.12 = 633.97

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1088.64 - 633.97 = 454.67 milligrams

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1088.64 + 633.97 = 1722.61 milligrams

The 99% confidence interval for the mean sodium content in Oriental Spice Sauce is between 454.67 milligrams and 1722.61 milligrams
