Each bush costs $18.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Kelly creates a garden

  • She buys 15 flowers and 3 bushes for a total cost of $160.32
  • Each bush costs $11.50 more than each flower

We need to find how much each bush costs

Assume that the cost of each flower is $x and the cost of each

bush is $y

∵ She by 15 flowers and 3 bushes for a total cost $160.32

∵ The cost of each flower is $x

∵ The cost of each bush is $y

∴ 15x + 3y = 160.32 ⇒ (1)

∵ Each bush costs $11.50 more than each flower

- That mean equate y by x plus 11.50

∴ y = x + 11.50 ⇒ (2)

Now we have system of equations to solve it

Substitute y in equation (1) by equation (2)

∵ 15x + 3(x + 11.50) = 160.32

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x + 3x + 34.5 = 160.32

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 18x + 34.5 = 160.32

- Subtract 34.5 from both sides

∴ 18x = 125.82

- Divide both sides by 18

∴ x = 6.99

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ y = 6.99 + 11.5

∴ y = 18.49

Each bush costs $18.49

How do you fraction decimals and percents and all of that
Korvikt [17]
From fraction to decimal:  divide the numerator by the denominator 

From decimal to percent: move the decimal two places to the right. For example: 0.062=6.2%

From percent to decimal: move the decimal point two steps to the left. For example: 56%=0.56

From decimal to fraction: Rewrite the decimal number number as a fraction (example: <span>2.625=<span>2.6251</span></span>) an then Multiply by 1 to eliminate 3 decimal places, we multiply numerator and denominator by 10 cubed = 1000<span><span><span>2.625/1</span>×<span>1000/1000</span>=<span>2625/1000 and don forget to reduce if possible;)

A new gas- and electric-powered hybrid car has recently hit the market. The distance traveled on 1 gallon of fuel is normally di
Doss [256]

Answer:

a) P [ Z > 70 ]  = 0.1075  or 10.75 %

b)  P [ Z < 60 ] = 0.1038   or  10.38 %

c)  P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70 ] =  0.8882   or 88.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution  μ = 65    and σ = 4

a) The probability of the car travels more than 70 miles per gallon is:

P [ Z > 70 ]  =  (Z-μ) ÷ σ  ⇒   P [ Z > 70 ] = (70-65) ÷4     P [ Z > 70 ] = 1.25

the point 1.25 corresponds at values, from left tail up to 70 so we must go and look for the area for the point 1.24 which is 0.8925. Then we have the area or probability of all cars traveling up  to 70 miles therefore  we have to subtract 1 -0,8925

P [ Z > 70 ]  = 0.1075  or 10.75 %

b)The probability of the car travels less than 60 miles per gallon is:

P [ Z < 60 ]  = ( 60 - μ ) ÷  σ ⇒  P [ Z < 60 ] = (60-65)÷ 4    P [ Z < 60 ] = -1.25

Again -1.25 corresponds to 60 miles per gallon threfore we move to the left and find for point -1.26  which area is 0.1038 so

P [ Z < 60 ] = 0.1038     10.38 %

c) P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70]

For  point  Z = 70 or 1.25 (case a above)  P [ Z ≤ 70] = (70-65)÷4  

P [ Z ≤ 70] = 1.25

In this case we got the whole area from the left tail up to 1.25

P [ Z ≤ 70]  = 0.8944 (includes the area of the point from the left tail up to the point assocciated to 55 miles and for that reason we have to subtract that area)

P [ Z ≥ 55 ]  = (55-65) ÷ 4     P [ Z ≥ 55 ] = -2.5  and the area is 0.0062

So P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70 ] =  0.8944 - 0.0062  = 0.8882

A new car's original price is $13,999. If it's on sale<br> for 10% off, what's the new price?
blsea [12.9K]
To find new price after discount we are going to find 10% of $13,999.00, then subtract the discount amount from $13,999.00.

13,999.00 × ¹⁰/₁₀₀ = $1,399.90

13,999.00 - 1,399.90 = $12,599.10

Therefore, new price = $12,599.10
