Let the price of the car be represented by = x

Commission rate of Octavio = 6 %

Commission earned on selling a car at $x = $900

So, equation becomes =

\frac{6}{100}*x=900

6x=90000

x=15000

Hence, the price of the car is $15000.

Hi there! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{C}

To simplify the process, convert each given weight into standard notation:

Lion:

1 * 10^{5} = 1 * 100000 = 100,000 g

Ant:

2 * 10^{-3}  =  2* 0.001 = 0.002

Divide the ant's weight from the lion's weight:

100000 / 0.002 = 50,000,000

Convert to scientific notation: (use # of zeros to determine exponent)

50,000,000 = 5 * 10^{7}

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Is the line through points P(2, –5) and Q(–5, –1) parallel to the line through points R(5, 4) and S(–2, 5)? Explain.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

the answer is No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first line has a slope of -4/7 and the other line has a slope of -1/7. This can be shown in point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) where m=∆y/∆x.

Through points P and Q, the point slope is represented as -1-(-5)=m(-5-2) ; 4 = -7m ; m = 4/-7. The next two points R and S can be shown in point slope as 5-4=m(-2-5) ; 1 = -7m ; m =1/-7. With the fact that parallel lines must have equal slopes, these two lines cannot be parallel because -4/7≠-1/7

horsena [70]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following points given in the problem above:

 A<span>(-2,3), B(9,3), C(5,6) and D(2,6)

 2. When you plot them, you obtain the figure shown in the graph attached. 

 3. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:  the figure is a trapezoid, which is define as a quadrilateral with two parallel sides.</span>

A company with n employees publishes an internal calendar, where each day lists the employees having a birthday that day. What i
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 1-(\frac{364}{365})^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^x, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials, n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

We assume that the total number of days in a particular year are 365.

Then , the probability for each employee to have birthday on a certain day :

p=\dfrac{1}{365}

Given : The number of employee in the company = n

Then, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday is given by :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x

Hence, the probability there is at least one day in a year when nobody has a birthday =1-(\frac{364}{365})^n
