Answer: $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of watermelon = $1.25

Profit percent = 20%

Profit = Profit percent × Cost price

= 20% × $1.25

= 20/100 × $1.25

= 0.2 × $1.25

= $0.25

Selling price = Cost price + Profit

Selling price = $1.25 + $0.25

Selling price = $1.50

They should charge $1.50 for the watermelons

In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 22. If the player matches all six numbers, they win 20,000 dollars. Othe

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Total possible number of outcomes = C(24,6) [24 choose 6]

=24!/(6!18!)

= 134596

Out of which there is only one winning combination.

Therefore we conclude:

P(win 20000)=1/134596

P(lose 1)=134595/134596

and hence the expected value is:

20000*(1/134596)+(-1)*(134595/134596)

=-114595/134596

=-0.8514 (rounded to four places after decimal)

What's the difference between 6z and z6

Airida [17]

Simple..

there is a major difference between 6z and $z^{6}$

6z means: 6 times z

and

$z^{6}$ means: z to the power of 6(z*z*z*z*z*z)

An example...

make z=2...plug n chug..

6z----> 6(2)=12
and
$z^{6}$ ---> $2^{6}$ =64

As you can see..there is a major difference.
