Answer:
x = 162 cards need to be dealt with
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Estimation of likelyhood of next card to be queen, a king, or an ace:
( 64 - 0.2*x ) / ( 208 - x )
Find:
For what values of x is this likelihood greater than 70%?
Solution:
- Use the likely-hood estimation relation and set up the inequality as follows:
( 64 - 0.2*x ) / ( 208 - x ) > 0.7
( 64 - 0.2*x ) > 0.7*( 208 - x )
64 - 0.2*x > 145.6 - 0.7*x
0.5*x > 81.6
x > 163.2
- It would require 162 cards to be dealt with for the probability of next card being queen, a king, or an ace is greater than 70%
Answer:
b) x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)
3/9 reduces to 1/3 (divide both parts by the GCF 3)
Then use long division to divide 1/3

The '3's in 0.333 will go on forever
He had saved 320 initially
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount he saved be 'a'
Amount spent = 20 + 40 + 30
= 90
His grand father gave 50
At the end he has 280
280 = a - 90 +50
a = 280 -50 +90
= 320
He had saved 320 initially
