Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Last years worth of vanishing potion= $82

This years worth of vanishing portion= $118

Note: Another way of asking this question is "what percent of $82 is $118"

So

=82/118*100

=0.69*100

=69%

=70% approx

Hence last years sale is 70% of this year's sales

In Omak the sales tax is 8.4%. What is the total cost including tax Aakel spent on a $48 purchase?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

$52.03

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

To solve this problem, first one needs to calculate the sales tax, then one must add that to the amount spent on the purchase. To calculate sales tax, one must convert the percent to decimal form, this can be done by dividing the percent by 100. Then one will multiply the decimal by the amount spent.

2. Find the tax

As states above; to calculate sales tax, one must convert the percent to decimal form, this can be done by dividing the percent by 100. Then one will multiply the decimal by the amount spent.

<u>a. convert percent to decimal</u>

8.4 / 100 = 0.084

<u>b. multiply the decimal by the amount spent</u>

48 * 0.084 = 4.032

The amount spent on sales tax is, $4.032

3. Find the total amount spent

Now all one has to do is add the amount spent in tax by the amount spent on the purchase.

48 + 4.032 = 52.032

Since money is only spent rounded to the second decimal point, one has to round the number;

52.03

How do you measure the perimeter of a shape​
Advocard [28]

Perimeter is a measure of the area or distance around a two-dimensional shape. On a rectangle, for instance, the perimeter is the total length of the rectangle's outline, including the two widthwise borders and the two lengthwise borders.

<u><em> To determine the perimeter of a shape</em></u>, therefore, you add together all the dimensions that make up the shape's outer edge. Being able to find the perimeter of a shape has many applications in the real world. Say, for example, that you wanted to build a fence around your backyard. In order to purchase materials, you need to know how much fencing you'll need, and to determine that you have to figure out the perimeter of the area you want to fence in.

Mathematics algebra sat
Leya [2.2K]

Hey there!

2(p + 1) + 8(p - 1) = 5p

2(p) + 2(1) + 8(p) + 8(-1) = 5p

2p + 2 + 8p - 8 = 5p

10p - 6 = 5p

SUBTRACT 5p to BOTH SIDES

10p - 6 - 5p = 5p - 5p

SIMPLIFY IT!

5p - 6 = 0

ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES

5p - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6

CANCEL out: -6 + 6 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 0 + 6 because it helps solve for the p-value

5p = 0 + 6

5p = 6

DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES

5p/5 = 6/5

CANCEL out: 5/5 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 6/5 because gives you the result of the p-value

SIMPLIFY IT!

p = 6/5

Therefore, your answer is: p = 6/5

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

A researcher is interested in the lengths of brook trout, which are known to be approximately Normally distributed with mean 80
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability with the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lenghts of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(80,5)  

Where \mu=80 and \sigma=5

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability with the normal standard distirbution or excel and we got:

P(z
