Answer: Their total budget last year was $40,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The Smiths spend 6% of their budget on entertainment.
i.e. , The money they spend on entertainment = 0.06 x ( Total budget)
{ 6% is converted to 0.06 , when we divide it by 100 to remove percentage)
Since , this year they plan to spend $2,580 on entertainment.
i.e. 0.06 x ( Total budget ) = $2,580
On dividing both sides by 0.06 , we get
( Total budget ) = $2,580 ÷ 0.06
= $43,000
Thus , their total budget for this year = $43,000
Also, Their total budget this year is $3,000 more than last year.
Therefore , their last year total budget = ( Total budget this year ) - $3000
= $43,000 - $3000
= $40,000
Hence, their total budget last year was $40,000.

Hope this helps! Also can I have brainliest? It’s ok if no :) have a nice day.

John is paid $35 plus 15% of his groups
lara [203]
The answer would be y=0.15x + 35 because 35 is like the base, the lowest he’ll pay, and then he’ll pay 0.15 which is 15% of the groups tips which is where the x comes in!

hope this helps!!

Find the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence X – 9, -X – 11, -3.3 – 13, ...
MrMuchimi

Answer:

-13x-23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence:  x-9, -x-11, -3x-13

Therefore,

  • a_1=x-9
  • a_2=-x-11
  • a_3=-3x-13

General form of an arithmetic sequence: a_n=a+(n-1)d

(where a is the first term and d is the common difference)

To find the common difference, subtract a term from the next term:

\begin{aligned}d & =a_2-a_1\\ & =(-x-11)-(x-9)\\ & = -x-11-x+9\\ & = -2x-2\end{aligned}

Therefore,

a_n & =(x-9)+(n-1)(-2x-2)

To find the 6th term, input n = 6 into the equation:

\begin{aligned}\implies a_6 & =(x-9)+(6-1)(-2x-2)\\ & = (x-9)+7(-2x-2)\\ & = x-9-14x-14\\ & = -13x-23\end{aligned}

20. Based on student records, 25% of the students at a large high school have a
Elenna [48]

Answer:

(E) 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better, A' the event that a student has GPA lower than 3.5, B the event that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class and B' the event that a student is not taking any AP class.

So, the  probability that the student has a GPA lower than 3.5 and is not taking any AP  classes is calculated as:

P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)

it means that the students that have a GPA lower than 3.5 and are not taking any AP  classes are the complement of the students that have a GPA of 3.5 of better or are enrolled in at least one AP class.

Therefore, P(A∪B) is equal to:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Where the probability P(A) that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better is 0.25, the probability P(B) that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class is 0.16 and the probability P(A∩B) that a student has a GPA of 3.5 or better and is enrolled  in at least one AP class is 0.12

So, P(A∪B) is equal to:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∪B) = 0.25 + 0.16 - 0.12

P(A∪B) = 0.29

Finally, P(A'∩B') is equal to:

P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)

P(A'∩B') = 1 - 0.29

P(A'∩B') = 0.71
