7 % of cost price is 2.80 , What about 1%?

7 = 2.80

1 = x   (where x is the price value of 1% in dollars)

We simplify the above equation, so:

7 × x = 2.8 × 1  →  7x = 2.8 →  x = 2.8 / 7  →   x = 0.4 dollars

We know that 100%  represents the whole price,

so if 1% is 0.4 dollars, then 100% will be 0.4 × 100 = 40 dollars

Therefore the store charged $40  dollars for the helmet before tax

Home sizes in Anytown, USA have a mean of 2400 square feet and a standard deviation of 450 square feet. What is the probability
lesya [120]

Answer:

0.00084

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,\mu=2400 square feet

Standard deviation, \sigma=450square feet

n=50

We have to find the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet.

P(x

P(x

Using the formula

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

P(x

P(X

Hence, the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet=0.00084
