Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Of means multiply and is means equals

50% * 120% * 30% *N= 108

Change to decimal form

.50 * 1.20 * .30 * N = 108

Multiply

.18 N = 108

Divide each side by .18

.18N /.18 = 108/.18

N =600

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The number is 600

Discussion:

Percent means "per 100" or divided by 100. The Question is equivalent to

50 % * 120% * 30% * x = 108

where x is the number to be found. This is equivalent to

(50/100)* (120/100) * (30/100) * x = 108   => simplify fractions

(1/2)       * (12/10)  *    ( 3/10) * x      = 108   =>  as 3 * 12 = 36

36/ (2 * 10* 10) * x  = 108                           =>  36 * 3 = 108. Divide by 36

1/(200) *x = 108/36 = 3                             => multiply both sides by 200

x = 3 * 200 = 600

Thank you,

MrB

Solve the system by substitution: <br> 3x + 2y = 26<br> Y=x + 3
Orlov [11]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 26

y = x + 3

Plug in the equation for y

3x + 2(x + 3) = 26

Multiply the 2 with what is in the parantheses

3x + 2x + 6 = 26

Combine like terms and solve for x

5x + 6 = 26

5x = 20

x = 4

A financial advisor is analyzing a family's estate plan. The amount of money that the family has invested in different real esta
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of money that the family has invested in different real estate properties.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = $225,000 and <em>σ</em> = $50,000.

It is provided that the family has invested in <em>n</em> = 10 different real estate properties.

Then the mean and standard deviation of amount of money that the family has invested in these 10 different real estate properties is:

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=\$225,000\\\\\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{50000}{\sqrt{10}}=15811.39

Now the lowest 80% of the amount invested can be represented as follows:

P(\bar X

The value of <em>z</em> is 0.84.

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of the mean amount invested as follows:

\bar x=\mu_{\bar x}+z\cdot \sigma_{\bar x}

   =225000+(0.84\times 15811.39)\\\\=225000+13281.5676\\\\=238281.5676\\\\\approx 238281.57

Thus, the amount of money separating the lowest 80% of the amount invested from the highest 20% in a sampling distribution of 10 of the family's real estate holdings is $238,281.57.
