Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Original price = x

Selling price = $10

Discount = 75%

Selling price = original price - (Discount * original price)

10 = x - 75% of x

10 = x - 0.75 * x

10 = x - 0.75x

10 = 0.25x

x = 10/0.25

x = 40

Original price = x = $40

Solve the following system
Umnica [9.8K]

Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.

Point form:

(3,2), (3-2), (-3,2), (-3,-2)

Equation Form:

x = 3, y = 2.

x = 3, y = -2.

x = -3, y = 2.

x = -3, y = -2.

17% of what number is 3.4
saw5 [17]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We already have our first value 3.4 and the second value 17. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

Step 1 ---> 3.4 = 17% × Y

Step 2 ---> 3.4 = 17/100 × Y

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides of the equation by 17 we will arrive at:

Step 3 ---> Y = 3.4 × 100/17

Step 4 ---> Y = 3.4 × 100 ÷ 17

Step 5 ---> Y = 20

Finally, we have found the value of Y which is 20 and that is our answer.

<h3><u>*You can easily calculate 3.4 is 17 percent of what number by using any regular calculator, simply enter 3.4 × 100 ÷ 17 and you will get your answer which is 20*</u></h3>

ANSWER QUICKLY PLEASE 2. Molecules in the air are moving with speeds based on the normal model.
raketka [301]

Answer:

(a). The mean speed is 760 m/s.

(b). The standard deviation for our normal model is 142.1 m/s.

(c). The unusual speed is 1127 m/s.

(d). The average molecule speed is 929.48 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Molecules in the air are moving with speeds based on the normal model.

Let x be the speed of the molecules.

(a). If half of the air molecules are moving faster than 760 m/s.

We can say speed of a molecules is normally distributed.

So, the mean, median and mode of this distribution is at least greater than 760 m/s.

(b). If exactly 95% of the molecules are moving with speeds between 475.8 m/s and 1044.2 m/s,

If the standard deviation is σ and the mean is μ,

We need to calculate the standard deviation for our normal model

Using empirical rule

\mu-2\sigma=475.8...(I)

\mu+2\sigma=1044.2....(II)

Put the value of μ in equation (I)

760-2\sigma=475.8

-\sigma=\dfrac{475.8-760}{2}

\sigma=142.1\ m/s

(c). One molecule is found to be moving with a speed of 1127 m/s.

We know that,

1127 is the between 1126 and 1128.

Since, it is a continuous distribution,

We need to find the probability that speed is between this

Using excel function

P(1126

P(1126

We know that,

Any probability less than 0.05 is considered as unusual

So, 0.0002<0.05

So, 1127 will be considered as the unusual speed.

(d). If the temperature increase caused the z-score of a particle moving at 1100 m/s particle to drop to 1.2 after the temperature increase.

We need to calculate the average molecule speed

Using formula of average molecule speed

z=\dfrac{x-\mu'}{\sigma}

-\mu'=z\sigma-x

Put the value in to the formula

-\mu'=1.2\times142.1-1100

\mu'=929.48\ m/s

Hence, (a). The mean speed is 760 m/s.

(b). The standard deviation for our normal model is 142.1 m/s.

(c). The unusual speed is 1127 m/s.

(d). The average molecule speed is 929.48 m/s.

What is the volume in cubic feet of a rectangular prism with a height of 8ft and width of 8ft and a length of 18th feet.
Hitman42 [59]

The volume of the rectangular prism is 1152 cubic feet (ft^{3}), If the rectangular prism have height of 8 feet and width of 8 feet and a length of 18th feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

              The given is,

                       Let, h - Height of the rectangular prism

                              w - Width of the rectangular prism

                                l -Length of the rectangular prism

Step:1

            From the given,

                              h = 8 feet

                              w = 8 feet

                               l = 18 feet

Step:2

          Formula for volume of Rectangular prism is,

                     V = whl

        Substitute the values of w, h and l,

                     V = ( 8 × 8 × 18 )

                        = 1152

                    V = 1152 cubic feet

Result:

           Thus the volume of the rectangular prism is 1152 cubic feet (ft^{3}), for the given rectangular prism have height of 8 feet and width of 8 feet and a length of 18th feet.
