First off, "whatever%" of "anything" is just (whatever/100) * anything

part A)

so... firm A got 11,000 invested, turned a profit of 24%, how much is 24% of 11000? well (24/100) * 11000

firm B got 14,000 invested, and returned 15% in profits, how much is 15% of 14000?   (15/100) * 14000

part B)

for the amounts above, we get 2640 and 2100 respectively

so, the total profit "amount" is 2640 + 2100 or 4740

the total investement was 11000+14000 = 25000

if 25000 is the 100%, how much is 4740 in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
25000&100\\
4740&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{25000}{4740}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

Answer:

(a) $4,740  (b) 18.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

An investment firm invested in two companies.

In company A  they invested $11,000 and made a profit of 24%.

In company B they invested $14,000 and made a profit of 15%.

(a) We will calculate the firm's total profit :

In Company A profit = 24% of 11,000

                                  = 0.24 × 11,000

                                  = $2,640

In Company B profit = 15% of 14,000

                                  = 0.15 × 14,000

                                  = $2,100

Total profit = $2,640 + $2,100 = $4,740

(b) We will calculate the percent profit for their total investment.

Total investment = $25,000

Total profit           = $4,740

Percentage     = \frac{4740}{25000}\times 100

                       = 18.96%

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a. 11.26 % b. 6.76 %. It appears so since 6.76 % ≠ 15 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This is a binomial probability.

Let q = probability of giving out wrong number = 15 % = 0.15

p = probability of not giving out wrong number = 1 - q = 1 - 0.15 = 0.75

For a binomial probability, P(x) = ⁿCₓqˣpⁿ⁻ˣ. With n = 10 and x = 1, the probability of getting a number wrong P(x = 1) = ¹⁰C₁q¹p¹⁰⁻¹

= 10(0.15)(0.75)⁹

= 1.5(0.0751)

= 0.1126

= 11.26 %

b. At most one wrong is P(x ≤ 1) = P(0) + P(1)

= ¹⁰C₀q⁰p¹⁰⁻⁰ + ¹⁰C₁q¹p¹⁰⁻¹

= 1 × 1 × (0.75)¹⁰ + 10(0.15)(0.75)⁹

= 0.0563 + 0.01126

= 0.06756

= 6.756 %

≅ 6.76 %

Since the probability of at most one wrong number i got P(x ≤ 1) = 6.76 % ≠ 15 % the original probability of at most one are not equal, it thus appears that the original probability of 15 % is wrong.
