Last year, a property manager bought seven identical snow shovels and nine identical bags of salt. The total cost of the snow sh

ovels was $241.50, before tax, and each bag of salt cost $6.20, before tax. This year, the property manager bought 3 identical snow shovels and six identical bags of salt. The total cost of the snow shovels was $105.57, before tax, and the total cost of the bags of salt was $39.06, before tax. Determine the item with the greatest percent increase in the price from last year. Be sure to include the percent increase for this time to the nearest percent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to approach this shall be:

( Final price - Initial price )/ Final price × 100/1 ............. 1

Hence for the snow shovels

Initial price = $241.50 for 7

Each will cost = $241.50/7

= $34.5

Final price for snow shovels

= $105.57 for 3 shovels

Each will cost = $105.57/3

= $35.19

Now considering the bags of salt

Initial price = $6.20 each

Final price = $39.06 for 6 bags

Each bag cost = $39.06/6

= $6.51

Now apply the formula in equation (1)

For snow shovels

($35.19- $34.5)/$34.5 × 100/1

= 0.69/34.5 × 100/1

= 0.02×100/1

= 2%

For bags of salt

($6.51-$6.20)/$6.20 ×100/1

0.31/6.20×100/1

0.05×100/1

= 5%

Hence from the above solution, we can now deduce that shovel increased by 2% while bags of salt went up by 5%.

A bag contains 7 pieces of paper numbered 1 to 7. P(2)=. Is
pochemuha

Answer:

P (2) =\frac{1}{7}  Theoretical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

The theoretical probability is defined as:

P = \frac{number\ of\ desired\ results}{number\ of\ possible\ results}

In this case we look for the probability of taking a 2 out of the bag. As there is only one paper with the number 2 in the bag then:

number of desired results = 1

The amount of paper in the bag is equal to 7, so:

number of possible results = 7

Thus:

P (2) =\frac{1}{7}

This is a theoretical probability, since we do not need to perform the experiment to calculate the probability.

To calculate the experimental probability we must perform the following experiment:

Take a paper out of the bag, record the number obtained and then return the paper to the bag.

Now repeat this experiment n times. (Perform n trials)

So:

P (2) = \frac{number\ of\ times\ you\ obtained\ the\ number\ 2}{number\ of\ trials\ performed}

To calculate a theoretical probability you always need to perform an experiment with n trials.
