Answer:

125 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Computers purchased in the last month = 8

By the middle of the current month, 8 more computers than the last month were purchased. This means, total number of computers purchased by middle of current month = 8 + 8 = 16

Number of computers purchased by end of current month = 2

So,

Total computers purchased by current month = 16 + 2 = 18

We have to find the percentage increase in the number of computers from last month's purchases to the end of this month's purchases. The formula for percentage change is:

\text{Percentage Change}=\frac{\text{New Value - Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \times 100\%

Here, Original Value is the number of computers from last month and New Value is the number of computers from current month. Using the values in the formula, we get:

\text{Percentage Change}=\frac{18-8}{8} \times 100\% = 125\%

Thus, there was a 125% increase from last month's purchases to the end of this month's purchases

Simplify 8 over negative 4 divided by negative 3 over 9. 6 −6 12 −12
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}

Required

Solve

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}

We start by converting the division sign to multiplication

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9} =\frac{8}{-4} *  \frac{-9}{3}

Then, we divide -9 by 3

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}=\frac{8}{-4} *  -3

Then, we divide 8 by -4

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}=-2 *  -3

Multiply -2 and -3 to give final result

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9} = 6

Hence, \frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9} is equivalent to 6

Annual insurance is 1,000 face value.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Premium for Company A :

face value = 1.86 , charges are 20% more for smokers

⇒ Charges = 20% of 250000 = $50000

Total charge = Charge × face value

                     = 50000 × 1.86 = $93000

  • Premium for Company B :

face value = 1.86 , charges are 18% more for smokers

⇒ Charges = 18% of 250000 = $45000

Total charge = Charge × face value

                     = 45000 × 1.86 = $83700

  • Premium for Company C :

face value = 2.07 , charges are 25% more for smokers

⇒ Charges = 25% of 250000 = $62500

Total charge = Charge × face value

                     = 62500 × 2.07 = $129375

  • Premium for Company D :

face value = 2.25 , charges are 15% more for smokers

⇒ Charges = 15% of 250000 = $37500

Total charge = Charge × face value

                     = 37500 × 2.25 = $84375

Hence, The option A. is correct that is Aaron is paying the smallest premium possible with company B
