A store marks up a laptop 50% from its original price of $299. What is the new price for the computer?

Answer:

$448.50

Step-by-step explanation:

"Marking up" an item by x% means to increase its price by x% of the original price.

Here, when marking up by 50%, you would multiply the original price by 1.5:

1.5*299 = $448.50

You wouldn't just multiply by .5 because that would only give you 50% of $299. You could multiply .5*299 and get $149.5, but then you'd have to add it to $299, which would get you $448.50 again!

The quicker way is to just multiply the original price by 1+x%.

Hope this helps!

Compare 9 * 10^4 to 3 * 10^2. (A) 9 * 10^4 is 3 times larger than 3 * 10^2 (B) 9 * 10^4 is 30 times larger than 3 * 10^2 (C) 9 *
dexar [7]

Answer:

9 * 10^4 is 300 times larger than 3 * 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to compare the two figures and give the verdict on how big they are

as we can see, by squaring the second figure, we get the first

Mathematically, what we are saying is that;

(9 * 10^4) = (3 * 10^2)^2

So

basically, the difference between the two is to the tune of (3 * 10^2)

Hence we can conclude that the first number is 300 times bigger than the second number

Urgent. Factor the trinomial by grouping. Please show work. 14x^2y+9xy^2+y^3. If prime, show how you got prime answer.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

y x (2x +y) x (7x +y)

Step-by-step explanation:

14x^2y + 9xy^2 +y^3

(Factor the expression)

y x (14x^2 +9xy +y^2)

(Rewrite the expression)

y x (14x^2 + 7xy +2xy +y^2)

(Factor the expression)

y x (7x x(2x +y) + y x (2x +y) )

(Factor the expression)

y x (2x +y) x (7x +y)

An urn contains 5 white and 10 black balls. A fair die is rolled and that number of balls is randomly chosen from the urn. What
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Part A:

The probability that all of the balls selected are white:

P(A)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{21}+\frac{2}{91}+\frac{1}{273}+\frac{1}{3003}+0)\\      P(A)=\frac{5}{66}=0.075757576

Part B:

The conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white:

P(D_3|A)=\frac{\frac{2}{91}*\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{66} } \\P(D_3|A)=\frac{22}{455}=0.0483516

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the event all balls are white.

D_i is the dice outcome.

Sine the die is fair:

P(D_i)=\frac{1}{6} for i∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}

In case of 10 black and 5 white balls:

P(A|D_1)=\frac{5_{C}_1}{15_{C}_1} =\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}

P(A|D_2)=\frac{5_{C}_2}{15_{C}_2} =\frac{10}{105}=\frac{2}{21}

P(A|D_3)=\frac{5_{C}_3}{15_{C}_3} =\frac{10}{455}=\frac{2}{91}

P(A|D_4)=\frac{5_{C}_4}{15_{C}_4} =\frac{5}{1365}=\frac{1}{273}

P(A|D_5)=\frac{5_{C}_5}{15_{C}_5} =\frac{1}{3003}=\frac{1}{3003}

P(A|D_6)=\frac{5_{C}_6}{15_{C}_6} =0

Part A:

The probability that all of the balls selected are white:

P(A)=\sum^6_{i=1} P(A|D_i)P(D_i)

P(A)=\frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{21}+\frac{2}{91}+\frac{1}{273}+\frac{1}{3003}+0)\\      P(A)=\frac{5}{66}=0.075757576

Part B:

The conditional probability that the die landed on 3 if all the balls selected are white:

We have to find P(D_3|A)

The data required is calculated above:

P(D_3|A)=\frac{P(A|D_3)P(D_3)}{P(A)}\\ P(D_3|A)=\frac{\frac{2}{91}*\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{5}{66} } \\P(D_3|A)=\frac{22}{455}=0.0483516
