Answer:

  • 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x

<u>Initial share was:</u>

  • 120/x

<u>With the less students the share is:</u>

  • 120 /(x - 8) = 120/x + 0.5

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 120 /(x - 8) = 120/x + 0.5
  • 120x = 120(x - 8) + 0.5x(x - 8)
  • 120x = 120x - 960 + 0.5x² - 4x
  • 0.5x² - 4x - 960 = 0
  • x² - 8x - 1920 = 0
  • x² - 8x + 16 = 1936
  • (x - 8)² = 1936
  • x - 8 = √1936
  • x - 8 = 44
  • x = 52

A number cube has sides that are labeled 1 to 6. Jamal rolls the number cube. What is the probability that he will roll a 22?
Tems11 [23]

-- The probability of rolling a 22 is zero.  That result is impossible, because the sides are labeled with single digits 1 through 6 .  Since 22 is not printed anywhere on the cube, it can never come up.

-- The probability of rolling a<em> 2</em> , however, is <em> 1/6</em> . <em>(B)</em>

<em></em>

The -probability of rolling something you want is always

<em>(the number of different possible results that you like) </em>

divided by

<em>(the total number of different possible results)</em>

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start off by rounding that number to the nearest ten, not tenTH. This rounding would lead to 180$. Now comes the percent part. Here i use the percent equation, which is ____ is ____% of _____. our percent is 10%, and our whole goes at the end, 180$. The part( or the tax), becomes x, and now we translate. Is means = and of means times. so x=.10(180), and x will equal 18

so the tip will be around 18 dollars
