Answer: He pays £4500 as tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: John's earnings before tax = £38000 > £20000

Money over £20000 = £38000 - £20000 = £18000

Tax amount = 25% of money over £20000

⇒Tax amount= 0.25 x (18000 ) [25% = 0.25]

⇒Tax amount= £ 4500

Hence, he pays £4500 as tax.

A particular automatic sprinkler system has two different types of activation devices for each 3 sprinkler head. One type has a

zmey [24]

Answer:

There is an 85% probability that the sprinkler head will be activated.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

50% of the first sprinkler being triggered

90% of the first sprinkler being reliable

50% of the second sprinkler being triggered

80% of the second sprinkler being reliable.

What is the probability that the sprinkler head will be activated?

$P = P_{1} + P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability of the first sprinkler being triggered and activated. So:

$P_{1} = 0.5*0.9 = 0.45$

$P_{2}$ is the probability of the second sprinkler being triggered and activated. So:

$P_{2} = 0.5*0.8 = 0.40$

$P = P_{1} + P_{2} = 0.40 + 0.45 = 0.85$

There is an 85% probability that the sprinkler head will be activated.

How do you find the x

lions [1.4K]

Because those are straight lines, the 46 degrees must be equal to the (2x - 4).
2x -4 = 46.
2x = 46 + 4
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25.
