A company sells its printers to customers in order to make a profit of 25% calculate the price the company paid for a printer wh

ioda

The company paid $2000 for the printer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the printer for which the company bought it.

If x is the price of printer, then 25% of x will be the profit made by the company.

That is:

0.25x

According to the statement,

The cost and profit earned by company are equal to 2500

So,

$x+0.25x = 2500\\1.25x = 2500$

Dividing both sides by 1.25

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25} = \frac{2500}{1.25}\\x = 2000$

Hence,

The company paid $2000 for the printer

Suppose the discrete random variable X has the probability distribution below:

Talja [164]

(a) P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.11 + 0.52 + 0.19 = 0.82

(b) P(X ≥ 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.52 + 0.19 + 0.12 + 0.06 = 0.89

(c) µ = 0×0.11 + 1×0.52 + 2×0.19 + 3×0.12 + 4×0.06 = 1.5

(d) σ² = (0²×0.11 + 1²×0.52 + 2²×0.19 + 3²×0.12 + 4²×0.06) - µ² = 1.07

σ = √(σ²) ≈ 1.03

Solve the equation: -6p + 14 and 3p - 2

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

p = 16/9

Step-by-step explanation:

$-6p+14=3p-2\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-6p=3p-16\qquad\text{subtract 3p from both sides}\\\\-9p=-16\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-9)}\\\\\boxed{p=\dfrac{16}{9}\to p=1\dfrac{7}{9}}$

Given the two points (-1,-4) and (2,5): a. Find the slope between these two points

Dvinal [7]

Easy, using $\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$ to find the intercept:

$\frac{-4-5}{-1-2}$ =

$\frac{-9}{-3}$ =3

This is your slope. m=3

To find y=mx+b form

-4=3(-1)+b

-4=-3+b

-1=b

y=3x-1 in y=mx+b form
