If a price decreases by 20% I can calculate 20% of the price and subtract it from the original price or I can calculate it in on

e step and find blank percent of the original price

Answer:

both statements are fine

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,

First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.

For example:

let "x" be the original price

in the first case it would be:

0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:

x - 0.2 * x

in the second case it is:

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x

Find the side of a square whose diagonal is of the given measure.<br> Given = 15.2 cm
Neko [114]

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a square's diagonal is basically the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. a 45-45-90 triangle has a really special relationship, where the side length is x, and the diagonal is x \sqrt{2}. So, the side length is 15.

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

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of exterior angles = 360

64  + 60 + 69 + 42 + x + x +23 = 360

2x + 258 = 360

2x = 360 - 258

2x = 102

x = 51
