Answer:
The original price is $650
Step-by-step explanation:
There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.
Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.
Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.
Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.
So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.
Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.
A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of 60 funds' returns shows an average rate of 12%. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 4%, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the annual return on all mutual funds is
A. 0.037773 to 0.202227
B. 3.7773% to 20.2227%
C. 59.98786% to 61.01214%
D. 51.7773% to 68.2227%
E. 10.988% to 13.012%
Answer: E. 10.988% to 13.012%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Mean x= 12%
Standard deviation r = 4%
Number of samples tested n = 60
Confidence interval is 95%
Z' = t(0.025)= 1.96
Confidence interval = x +/- Z'(r/√n)
= 12% +/- 1.96(4%/√60)
= 12% +/- 0.01214%
Confidence interval= (10.988% to 13.012%)
Answer:
x < 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first expand the parentheses on both sides. Remember that when expanding parentheses, the result will be the sum of the products of the "outside number" with each of the "inside number".
On the left, the parenthetical expression is: -6(x + 4). Here, the outside term is -6 and the inside terms are x and 4. So:
-6(x + 4) = -6 * x + (-6) * 4 = -6x - 24
On the right, the parenthetical expression is: -5(x + 6). Here, the outside term is -5 and the inside terms are x and 6. So:
-5(x + 6) = -5 * x + (-5) * 6 = -5x - 30
Now put these back in:
-6(x + 4) + 9 > -5(x + 6)
-6x - 24 + 9 > -5x - 30
-6x - 15 > -5x - 30
x < 15
Thus the answer is x < 15.

Answer: 57 ft
Step-by-step explanation: Because drawing it up, we can make a right angled triangle with the right angle between the height of the man in the building and the distance out from the building of the man in the street, and the 35 degrees between the line connecting the man in the street with the man in the building, and the line out from the building of the man in the street. Then, tan of the 35 degree angle is = to opposite (40ft)/adjacent (to solve for). By cross multiplication, the A or adjacent (dist out from the building) = 40/0.7 (0.7 = tan of 35 degrees) so the answer is 57 ft.
