Answer:
<em>Peter now has 54 baseball cards</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
Assume Peter had x baseball cards in his collection. The 35% of his initial collection is
35 * x / 100= 0.35x
We know that those 14 new baseball cards represent a 35% of his previous collection, therefore we can set a simple equation
0.35x=14
When we solve for x, we'll know how many baseball cards Peter had before
x=14 / 0.35 = 40
Peter had 40 cards, he added 14 new baseball cards, so he now has 40+14=54
Peter now has 54 baseball cards
Answer:
Equation: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:
'three fourths a number' = 
'plus 8' = + 8
'is' =
'20 less' = - 20
'the number' = n
Put the expressions together:
'three fourths a number plus 8': 
'20 less than the number': n - 20
Set them equal to each other and solve:
Add 20 to both sides: 
Subtract 
from both sides: 
Multiply both sides by 
: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming there is a punitive removal of one point for an incorrect response.
Five undiscernable choices: 20% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.20*(1) + 0.80*(-1) = -0.60
Four undiscernable choices: 25% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.25*(1) + 0.75*(-1) = -0.50
I'll use 0.33 as an approzimation for 1/3
Three undiscernable choices: 33% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.33*(1) + 0.67*(-1) = -0.33 <== The approximation is a little ugly.
Two undiscernable choices: 50% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.50*(1) + 0.50*(-1) = 0.00
And thus we see that only if you can remove three is guessing neutral. There is no time when guessing is advantageous.
One Correct Answer: 100% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 1.00*(1) + 0.00*(-1) = 1.00
