Answer:

$17,535

Step-by-step explanation:

Original (old) salary: $16,700/year

+ raise: 0.05($16,700/year) = $835/year

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New salary: Original salary plus amount of raise:

$16,700/year + $835/year = $17,535

A faster but still valid approach to finding the new salary involves multiplying the original salary by 1.05:

1.05($16,700) = $17,535. Here the '1.00' represents the original salary and the '0.05) the raise.

A box contains 5 red balls, 6 white balls and 9 black balls. Two balls are drawn at

valina [46]

Answer:

$P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 5$

$White = 6$

$Black = 9$

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

$Total = 5 + 6 + 9$

$Total = 20$

This is calculated as:

$P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)$

So, we have:

$P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

$P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}$

$P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19} + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}$

$P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380} + \frac{72}{380}$

$P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}$

$P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}$

$P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}$

Help needed ASAP will give BRAINLIEST

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the sum of the (3) interior angles of a triangle <em>must</em> equate to 180.

In other words:

$(55)+(20)+(x)=180$

Where x is our unknown angle. So, we need to solve for x.

On the left, add 55 and 20:

$75+x=180$

Subtract 75 from both sides. The left side cancels:

$x=105$

Therefore, the third angle is 105 degrees.

Our answer is C.
