Answer:

$9500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Option A: Hourly wage is $19 and the salesperson works 40 hours per week. So, he will earn in a week= 19 X 40 = $760

Now, according to option b, he will get 8% commission on weekly sales.

Let. x = the amount of weekly sales.

To earn the same amount of option A, he will have to equal the 8% of x to $760

So, 8x/100= 760

Or, 8x= 76000

Or, x= 76000/8= 9,500

the salesman needs to make a weekly sales of $9,500 to earn the same amount with two options.

The first discount on a camera was 18%. The second discount was 20%. After these two discounts the price was $328. What was the
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the camera through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities.

<u>Second Discount</u>

20% off means we paid 80%. We know we paid $328 of some price.

\frac{80}{100} =\frac{328}{y}

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

80y=100(328)\\80y=32800

I now solve for y by dividing by 80.

\frac{80y}{80} =\frac{32800}{80} \\y= $410

The price after the first discount was $410.

<u>First Discount</u>

We will repeat the steps above with $410. 18% off means we paid 82%.

\frac{82}{100} =\frac{410}{y}

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

82y=100(410)\\82y=41000

I now solve for y by dividing by 82.

\frac{82y}{82} =\frac{41000}{82} \\y= $500

The original price was $500.

The table shows data from a survey about the number of times families eat at restaurants during a week. The families are either
kifflom [539]

Hey there,

To solve this problem, let us first define what is mean and median. Mean is the average of all the numbers in the data set while the median is the number in the middle of the data set in ascending order. If we create a box plot for the data of Rome and New York, we can see that there is an outlier in the data for New York. Since New York has an outlier, so the mean is not a good representation on the central tendency of the data. The mean is skewed (distorted) by the outlier. So in this case it is better to use the median. While the Rome data is nice and symmetrical, it does not seem to have an outlier,  so we can use the mean for this data set.

Therefore the answer is:

The Rome data center is best described by the mean. The New York data center is best described by the median

Suppose P(A) = 0.9, P(B) = 0.3, and P(B|A) = 0.2. What is P(A|B) ?
Elenna [48]

By definition of conditional probability,

P(B\mid A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\implies P(B\cap A)=0.2\cdot0.9=0.18

Similarly,

P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.18}{0.3}=0.6
