Answer:

His error occurred in the last step

Explanation:

He was supposed to calculate -

$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{9} \\or\\\frac{15}{18} - \frac{2}{18} \\$

which would equal -

$\frac{13}{18} \\not\\\frac{17}{18}$

Because he added instead of subtracted.

Hope this helps!

Melissa wants to purchase a digital camera.The listed price of the camera is $195.99.The camera is no sale for 10% off and Melis

lianna [129]

Answer:

The 10% off sale will save Melissa $10.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The listed price of the camera is $195.99.

The camera is no sale for 10% off and Melissa has a coupon for 5% off the sales tax is 7%.

Now, to find the money Melissa will save of the 10% off sale.

So, to get the price of camera of the 5% off sale:

$(195.99-5\%\ of\ 195.99)$

$=(195.99-\frac{5}{100}\times 195.99)$

$=(195.99-9.80)$

$=186.19$

Now, adding the sales tax:

$186.19+7\%\ of\ 186.19$

$=186.19+\frac{7}{100} \times 186.19$

$=186.19+13.03$

$=199.22$

Thus, the price is $199.22.

Now, to get the price of 10% off sale:

$195.99-10\%\ of\ 195.99$

$=195.99-\frac{10}{100} \times 195.99$

$=176.39$

So, adding sales tax:

$176.39+7\%\ of\ 176.39$

$=176.39+\frac{7}{100} \times 176.39$

$=188.73$

Hence, the price is $188.73.

Now, to get the money 10% off sale will save Melissa:

$199.22-188.73$

$=10.49$

Therefore, the 10% off sale will save Melissa $10.49.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 5

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$50 and $115

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour

Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.

Then combining their charges together to get:

$(x*15)hour+(165-x)*5 hour=1325$

Solving for x to get:

$15x-5x+825=1325$

$10x=500$

$x=50$

So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic = $(165-50)=$ $115.

If a denotes some event, what does upper a overbara denote? if p(a)equals=0.9930.993, what is the value of p(upper a overba

masya89 [10]

P(A) = 0.993 is the probability of event A
_
P(A) is the probability of not A (note that I am trying to place a bar over A. I hope you can see it, else it is because the editor did not show it as I intended)

Then, use the fact that the probability of A plus the probability not A is equal to 1:
                  _
=> P(A) + P(A) = 1
       _
=> P(A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.993 = 0.007

So, the answers are:
      _
1) P(A) = 0.07
             _
2) Yes, A is unlikely because its probability is very low.
