Answer:

  25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is the difference between the selling price and the cost price.

  markup = (500)($10) - $4000 = $1000

Then the percent markup of the cost price is ...

  markup/(cost price) = $1000/$4000 × 100% = 25%

The percentage markup was 25%.

In a recent survey, 40 percent indicated chocolate was their favorite flavor of ice cream. Suppose we select a sample of twelve
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

4 people name chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first understand the given information.

The survey shows that 40 percent of a finite number of people name chocolate as their favorite flavor of ice cream. Because the survey is reporting a percentage, then 40% means that from 100 people 40 people name chocolate, while the others name a different type of flavor.

Dividing the total of people (100) by the ones who name chocolate (40) then we have:

100/40 = 2.5

Through the above equation we are actually expressing the following:

Total people = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)

Using this equation if we have now 12 people:

12 = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)

12/2.5 = (people who name chocolate flavor)

4.8 = people who chose chocolate flavor

Because we can't have 0.8 of a person, then if we have a sample of 12 people, we will expect that 4 of them name chocolate.

A helicopter is flying above a town. the local high school is directly to the east of the helicopter at a 20° angle of depressio
guapka [62]
Answer: 4.5 miles

Explanation:

When you draw the situation you find two triangles.

1) Triangle to the east of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from the high school to the helicopter = depression angle from the helicopter to the high school = 20°

b) hypotensue = distance between the high school and the helicopter

c) opposite-leg to angle 20° = heigth of the helicopter

d) adyacent leg to the angle 20° = horizontal distance between the high school and the helicopter = x

2) triangle to the west of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from elementary school to the helicopter = depression angle from helicopter to the elementary school = 62°

b)  distance between the helicopter and the elementary school = hypotenuse

c) opposite-leg to angle 62° = height of the helicopter

d) adyacent-leg to angle 62° = horizontal distance between the elementary school and the helicopter = 5 - x

3) tangent ratios

a) triangle with the helicpoter and the high school

tan 20° = Height / x ⇒ height = x tan 20°

b) triangle with the helicopter and the elementary school

tan 62° = Height / (5 - x) ⇒ height = (5 - x) tan 62°

c) equal the height from both triangles:

x tan 20° = (5 - x) tan 62°

x tan 20° = 5 tan 62° - x tan 62°

x tan 20° + x tan 62° = 5 tan 62°

x  (tan 20° + tan 62°) = 5 tan 62°

⇒ x = 5 tant 62° / ( tan 20° + tan 62°)

⇒ x = 4,19 miles

=> height = x tan 20° = 4,19 tan 20° = 1,525 miles

4) Calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle:

hipotenuese ² = x² + height ² = (4.19)² + (1.525)² = 19.88 miles²

hipotenuse = 4.46 miles

Rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5 miles

That is the distance between the helicopter and the high school.
