Answer: Around 1000 students would buy a schoo lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in one class, 14 students bring lunch from home, and 20 buy lunch in the school. This will be our sample.

In total we have 20 + 14 = 34 students, this will be our 100%.

The percentage of students that bring lunch from home can be estimated as the quotient between the number of students that bring lunch from home and the total number of students, times 100%.

p1 = (14/34)*100% = 41.18%

And the percentage of students that buy lunch at school can be computed in the same way:

p2= (20/34)*100% = 58.82%

Then, out of the 1700 students in middle school, we can estimate that around 58.82% of them will buy lunch in the school.

Then the exact number will be:

N = (58.82%/100%)*1700 = 1000

Around 1000 students would buy a schoo lunch.

Find the distance between the points given.<br><br> (2, 5) and (6, 8)
inna [77]
(2,5) , (6,8)

Distance formula : 

d = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

Simply plug in the values.

d = √(6 - 2)² + (8 - 5)²

Simplify.

d = √(4)² + (3)²

Simplify.

d = √16 + 9

Simplify.

d = √25

So, the distance is 5

Find the savings balance after 9 months with an APR of 4% and monthly payment of $250.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$ 2533.594

Step-by-step explanation:

The saving balance is found by the equation;

SV=P*[((1+i)^n -1)/i]

where P=monthly payments, i= interest rate n=period

Given ;

P= $250   n=9months and i=6%(0.04) per year, find savings balance?

Note than n is given in months so we divide the rate by 12 i.e

0.04/12 =0.003

Substitute values in the formulae;

SV= 250 × [((1+0.003)^9 - 1)/0.003)]

SV= 250* [((1+0.003)^9 -1 )/0.003]\\\\SV=250*[(1.003)^9 -1)/0.003]\\\\SV=250*[(1.0304 -1)/0.003]\\\\SV=250*[0.0304/0.003]\\\\SV=250*10.134\\\\SV=2533.594
