Answer:

66.6667

2 out of 66.6667 is 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

2 out of what is 3%?

2 out of X is 3%

Equation: Y/X = P%

Solving our equation for X

X = Y/P%

X = 2/3%

Converting percent to decimal:

p = 3%/100 = 0.03

X = 2/0.03

X = 66.6667Answer:

you currently have 24 credit hours and a 2.8 gpa you need a 3.0 gpa to get into the college. if you are taking a 16 credit hours

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i = 2.8*24 = 67.2$

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

$\bar X_f = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i+w_f *X_f }{24+16} = 3.0$

And we can solve for $\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$ and solving we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And from the previous result we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =67.2 +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And solving we got:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f =120 -67.2= 52.8$

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

$\bar X_2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f}{16}= \frac{52.8}{16}=16=3.3$

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the currently mean is 2.8 and is given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i }{24} = 2.8$

Where $w_i$ represent the number of credits and $X_i$ the grade for each subject. From this case we can find the following sum:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i = 2.8*24 = 67.2$

And for this case we want a gpa of 3.0 taking in count that in this semester he/ she is going to take 16 credits so then the new mean would be given by:

$\bar X_f = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i+w_f *X_f }{24+16} = 3.0$

And we can solve for $\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$ and solving we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =\sum_{i=1}^n w_i *X_i +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And from the previous result we got:

$3.0 *(24+16) =67.2 +\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f$

And solving we got:

$\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f =120 -67.2= 52.8$

And then we can find the mean with this formula:

$\bar X_2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n w_f *X_f}{16}= \frac{52.8}{16}=16=3.3$

So then we need a 3.3 on this semester in order to get a cumulate gpa of 3.0

You and your friend are selling tickets to a charity event. You sell 11 adult tickets and 8 student tickets for $158. Your frien

svetlana [45]

So what we have to do to solve this problem is to write down those values in 2 equations (one that represents what you sold and the other what your friend sold) compare them and find how much each ticket is worth.
First equation : 11x + 8y = 158
Where x = how much each adult ticket is
and y = how much each student ticket is

The second equation is : 5x + 17y = 152

Using the method of substitution , we can compare each equation side by side:
11x + 8y = 158
5x + 17y = 152
Now we need to set one of the variables of both equations so they are equal:
11(5)x + 8(5) = 158(5)
5(11)x + 17(11)x = 152(11)

55x + 40y = 790
55x + 187y = 1672

Then we subtract the second equation by the first one

55x-55x + 187y - 40y = 1672 - 790
147y = 882
y = 6
The we apply y to one of the equations to discover x :
11x + 8y = 158
11x + 8(6) = 158
11x + 48 = 158
11x = 110
x = 10

So the awnser is :
Each adult ticket (x) is $10
And each student ticket (y) is $8
I hope you understood my explanation,
