Answer:

The farmer bought 36 pigs in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a farmer bought a number of pigs for $ 160, but, however, 8 of them died before he could sell the rest at a profit of 6 per pig, and his total profit was $ 8, to determine how many pigs did he originally buy the following calculation must be performed:

160 + 8 = 168

168/6 = 28

28 + 8 = 36

Thus, the farmer bought 36 pigs in all.

How many crores are there in 20 million​
olga55 [171]

Answer:

20 million = 2 crore

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you how to convert 20 million to crores (twenty million in crores). This may be useful if you for example want to convert 20 million rupees to crore rupees or 20 million dollars to crore dollars.

In some parts of the world like the United States, large numbers are separated with commas in three-digit-interval format like this:

...,BBB,MMM,TTT,HHH

BBB = billions

MMM = millions

TTT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

In certain parts of Asia, the format is a little different. From right to left, it starts out with three digits followed by a comma like the US, but after that, it is in intervals of two digits like this:

..,AA,CC,LL,TT,HHH

AA = arabs

CC = crores

LL = lakhs

TT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

Below we have displayed 20 million with the two number systems, based on the information above:

MM,TTT,HHH

20,000,000

=

C,LL,TT,HHH

2,00,00,000

When you match up 20 million with the C,LL,TT,HHH format above, you can see what 20 million is in crores. The answer to 20 million in crores is as follows:

20 million

= 2 crore

Ray BD bisects ∠ABC so that m∠DBC = (x + 7) and m∠ABD = (2x − 11). What is x? A. 6 B. 18 C. 29 D. 54
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to the find the value of the x.

By bisecting the angle, the ray in question divides it into two other angles which are equal.

We proceed as follows;

x + 7 = 2x -11

Collect like

terms

2x -x = 7 + 11

Because all airline passengers do not show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: a) 0.9961, b) 0.9886

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that does not show up = 0.10

Probability that show up = 0.90

Here, we use "Binomial distribution":

n = 125 and p = 0.90

Number of passengers that hold in a flight = 120

a) What is the probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight?

P(X\leq 120)=\sum_{x=0}^{120}^{125}C_x(0.90)^x(0.10)^{125-x}=0.9961

(b) What is the probability that the flight departs with empty seats?

P(X\leq 119)=\sum _{x=0}^{119}^{125}C_x(0.90)^x)(0.10)^{125-x}=0.9886

Hence, a) 0.9961, b) 0.9886
