Answer: The answer is 0.1176470588235294, or rounded to the nearest hundredth 0.11, or 11%. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, so 76% that the first character is a lowercase letter. There are 8 possibilities of a number, being 1-8. 2,4,6,and 8 are favored here as the even numbers. This means that there are 4 out of 34 possibilities of the first character being an even number. 4/34 = 0.1176470588235294 or 11%. (This answer is almost a year late so you probably won't even see this)

Edit: Actually, I forgot to round so it would be 12% or 0.12.

So, the first number can be any of the 10 digits (0-9). From these 10 digits, 0,2,4,6, and 8 are even numbers. The total number of even numbers is 5. Therefore, 5 numbers are not even numbers.

So, the probability that a first character is an even number is equal to the number of even divided by the total number of possible outcomes. That is, 
    P\left(even\:number\right)=\frac{5}{5+5}=\frac{5}{10}\:or\:0.50

The probability is 0.50.

What annual rate of interest would you have to earn on an investment of $3500 to ensure receiving $273.00 interest after 1 year?
kogti [31]

To find the answer, we will have to find the percentage of $273 to $ 3500, and we can use the formula:

\frac{interest received}{investment amount} \times 100%

In this case:

273/3500 x 100%

=39/500 x 100%

=7.8%

Therefore the annual interest rate would be 7.8%.

Hope it helps!

Malachai is doing a 20 miles bike ride. He has cycled 11 miles so far. What percentage of the the total distance has he cycled
Anestetic [448]
11 miles / 20 miles =.55
.55 x 100 = 55%
11/20 is the proportion and you multiply by 100 to gey a percent
another way to solve is
11/20 x 5/5 = 55/100 = 55%
you multiply by 5/5 because it is equal to one and it makes the denominator equal to 100 it also follows the rule that whatever you do to the top you must do with the bottom
