Answer:

  $111

Step-by-step explanation:

The bank balance is ...

  $700 × (1 + 0.05) = $735

The cost of the computer is ...

  $750 × (1 -0.20) × (1 +0.04) = $624

The remaining bank balance after paying for the computer is ...

  $735 -624 = $111

_____

When you add a percentage, you effectively multiply by the sum of 1 and that percentage. The same is true if the amount "added" is negative (as for a discounted price).

  (original amount) + (percentage)×(original amount)

Use the distributive property to factor out the original amount:

 = (original amount)×(1 + percentage)

Without trade, jake consumes 20 pounds of green beans and 80 punds pf corn and jane consumes 40 pounds of green beans and 40 pou
Oksanka [162]

solution:

Terms of trade (TOT) = 1 pound green beans for 3 pound corn.

So, when Jake sells 72 pounds of corn, he buys (72 / 3) = 24 pounds of green beans, which is sold by Jane.

After specialization, Jane produces 80 pounds of green beans and sells 24 pounds out of it.

So, Jane consumes (80 - 24) = 56 pounds of green beans herself.

Also, after specialization, Jane produces only green beans and no corn, so her consumption of corn is equal to the quantity of corn sold by Jake, i.e. 72 pounds.

So, Jane consumes 56 pounds of green beans and 72 pounds of corn.

The ages of commercial aircraft are normally distributed with a mean of 13.5 years and a standard deviation of 7.3 years. what p
Artist 52 [7]
Answer: The percent higher is 41.68%. If 49 planes were selected, 20 of them should be above 15 years.

To find the percent, we first need the z-score.

(15 - 13.5) / 7.3 = 0.21

Now, use a normal distribution table to find the percent above a score of 0.21. It will be 41.68%.

To find the number of 49 planes above this value, multiply 49 by 0.4168. You will have about 20.4 planes.
