Step 1:
Add rent & car payments
=11,250+1422
=$12,672
Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100
12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x
OR
Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places
His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
$80,000
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Define the variables</u>:
Let x = "fish-flavored" chicken company investment (in dollars)
Let y = spray-on vitamins company investment (in dollars)
If Allen invested a total of $100,000:
⇒ x + y = 100000
Given:
- 3% profit on "fish-flavored" chicken investment
- 1% profit on pray-on vitamins investment
- Total profit = $2,600
⇒ 0.03x + 0.01y = 2600
Rewrite the first equation to make y the subject:
⇒ y = 100000 - x
Substitute into the second equation and solve for x:
⇒ 0.03x + 0.01(100000 - x) = 2600
⇒ 0.03x + 1000 - 0.01x = 2600
⇒ 0.02x + 1000 = 2600
⇒ 0.02x = 1600
⇒ x = 80000
Therefore, Allen invested $80,000 in the "fish-flavored" chicken company.
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the expected values are given by:
a) 120.
b) 150.
<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>
It is the probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
E(X) = np
In this problem, for both items, we consider that the number cube is rolled 180 times, hence n = 180.
Item a:
4 of the 6 possible values are greater than 2, hence p = 4/6 = 2/3.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 2/3 = 120.
Item b:
5 of the 6 values are less than 6, hence p = 5/6.
The expected value is given by:
E(X) = 180 x 5/6 = 150.

The value of x is -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The steps of solving an equation of one variable
- Simplify the two sides of the equation
- Separate the variable in one side and the numerical term in the other side
- Divide the both sides by the coefficient of the variable
∵ 372 = -3x - 6(8x + 6)
- Simplify the R.H.S. of the equation by multiplying the bracket by 6
∵ 372 = -3x - [6(8x) + 6(6)]
- You must put the square bracket because the sign in-front of 6
is (-) and the (-) changes the signs after it
∴ 372 = -3x - [48x + 36]
- Remember (-)(+) = (-), multiply the square bracket by (-)
∴ 372 = -3x - 48x - 36
- Add the like terms in the R.H.S.
∴ 372 = -51x - 36
- Add 36 to both sides to separate x in the R.H.S.
∴ 408 = -51x
- Divide both sides by -51 (coefficient of x)
∴ -8 = x
I hope these steps help you
