Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77
The normal distribution curve for the problem is shown below
We need to standardise the value X=405.5 by using the formula


We now need to find the probability of z=0.32 by reading the z-table
Note that z-table would give the reading to the left of z-score, so if your aim is to work out the area to the right of a z-score, then you'd need to do:

from the z-table, the reading

gives 0.6255
hence,

The probability that the mean weight for a sample of 40 trout exceeds 405.5 gram is 0.3475 = 34.75%
Answer:
2.4 hr. = time working together
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time working together
x/6 = work done by Martin
x/4 = work done by Victor
Martin's part + Victor's part = 1 jog done
x/6 + x/4 = 1 Multiply thru by 12
2x + 3x = 12
5x = 12
x = 2.4 hr.
Answer:
Some 224 people were in favor of the expansion.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, according to the recent poll, 22 1/4% of the people polled said that they approved of the city plan to expand the library, if 1004 people was polled, to determine how many were in favor of the expansion should be done the following calculation:
1/4 = 0.25
100 = 1004
22.25 = X
1004 x 22.25 / 100 = X
223.39 = X
Thus, some 224 people were in favor of the expansion.
Answer: a = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
14=4a
divide both sides by 4
14/4 = 3.5
4a/4 =1a or a
so a= 3.5
