Given:
13% calories from added sugar
270 calories

To get the total amount of calories, we need to divide the part by its corresponding percentage.

270 calories ÷ 13% = 2,076.92 calories.

CHOICE C. 2,076.90 CALORIES

Answer:

a. 11.26 % b. 6.76 %. It appears so since 6.76 % ≠ 15 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This is a binomial probability.

Let q = probability of giving out wrong number = 15 % = 0.15

p = probability of not giving out wrong number = 1 - q = 1 - 0.15 = 0.75

For a binomial probability, P(x) = ⁿCₓqˣpⁿ⁻ˣ. With n = 10 and x = 1, the probability of getting a number wrong P(x = 1) = ¹⁰C₁q¹p¹⁰⁻¹

= 10(0.15)(0.75)⁹

= 1.5(0.0751)

= 0.1126

= 11.26 %

b. At most one wrong is P(x ≤ 1) = P(0) + P(1)

= ¹⁰C₀q⁰p¹⁰⁻⁰ + ¹⁰C₁q¹p¹⁰⁻¹

= 1 × 1 × (0.75)¹⁰ + 10(0.15)(0.75)⁹

= 0.0563 + 0.01126

= 0.06756

= 6.756 %

≅ 6.76 %

Since the probability of at most one wrong number i got P(x ≤ 1) = 6.76 % ≠ 15 % the original probability of at most one are not equal, it thus appears that the original probability of 15 % is wrong.

Pam bought 50 kg of sugar. She used 10 kg of sugar. What percentage of sugar was left? (step by step answer would be appreciated
galben [10]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

50 x 50 would be 100 and 50kg=100% and 10 x 2 = 20 so you used 20% therefore you have 80% left.

In triangle EFG , EF=FG . EF= 6X-10 , EG =2X+14, and FG =3X+11. find EF .
jarptica [38.1K]
Since EF=FG, you can set 6x - 10 = to 3x +  11

6x -10 = 3x +11

Then add like terms

6x - 3x = 11+10

so, 3x = 21

Now you can divide by 3 to get x = 7 :)

then put it back into 6x - 10

6(7) - 10 = EF

so, EF = 32

Damm [24]

Group A

Money spent by Person 1 = £500

Money spent by Person 2 = £600

Money spent by Person 3 = £900

Money spent by Person 4 = £450

Sum of money spent by group A = £2,450

Average money spent by group A = \frac{2,450}{4}

⇒ Average money spent by group A = £612.5

Group B

Money spent by Person 1 = £700

Money spent by Person 2 = £500

Money spent by Person 3 = £680

Money spent by Person 4 = £500

Sum of money spent by group B = £2,380

Average money spent by group B = \frac{2,380}{4}

⇒ Average money spent by group B = £595

Hence, Group B had lower average spend.
