Yeah, these are tough.

When the plane is flying in the same direction as the wind,
the wind helps it cover ground faster.

Plane + Wind = 460 mph

When the plane is flying opposite to the wind, the wind makes it
cover ground slower.

Plane - Wind = 400 mph

================================

OK. So far we have

Plane + Wind = 460 mph
Plane - Wind = 400 mph

Add the two equations, and you get

2 Plane + zero = 860 mph

Divide each side by 2: Plane = 430 mph

Plug that into the first equation: 430mph + Wind = 460 mph

Subtract 430 mph from each side: Wind = 30 mph

Answer: $\dfrac{7}{1,337,220}=5.2\times 10^{-6}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Order does not matter so it is a Combination.

There are 14 men and we are going to choose 12 --> ₁₄C₁₂

There are 27 people and we are going to choose 12 --> ₂₇C₁₂

$\dfrac{_{14}C_{12}}{_{27}C_{12}}\rightarrow\dfrac{14!}{(14-12)!}\div \dfrac{27!}{(27-12)!}=\large\boxed{\dfrac{7}{1,337,220}}$

You buy a house in 2017 for $300,000. the house appreciates at a rate of 1.2% per year. in what year will it be worth 350,000

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Appreciation rate = 1.2% = 0.012

Let it take n years

300000^0.012n = 350000

taking log
0.012n * log(300000) = log(350000)
0.012n * 5.4771 = 5.5440
0.0657252 n = 5.5440
n = 84.35 years

2017 + 84.35 = 2101.35

It will be worth $350,000 in 2101
