Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.

A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.

Original price: x

20% increase in price: 1.2 * x

20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x

Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.

0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x

0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.

Answer: 3/12 miles

Step-by-step explanation: 1/6 is the same as 2/12 since you multiply by 2/2 to convert it. You need to get it so the denominators are the same number. The adding 1+3 in the numerator gets you 3/12

A certain pet store has only cats and dogs. the ratio of the number of cats to the number of dogs in the pet store is 2:3. 1/4 o
svp [43]
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of cats
 y: number of dogs
 We write the system of equations:
 x / y = 2/3
 (1/4) x + (1/2) y = 48
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 48
 y = 72
 The total number of animals is:
 x + y = 48 + 72 = 120
 Answer:
 
The total number of animals in the pet store is:
 
120

solve The mean score of a competency test is 60, with a standard deviation of 5. Between what two values do about 68% of the val
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Between 55 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed(bell-shaped) random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 60

Standard deviation = 5

Between what two values do about 68% of the values lie?

By the Empirical Rule, within 1 one standard deviation of the mean. So from 60-5 = 55 to 60+5 = 75.
