Answer: We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Dan's full tank.

So we know that right now he has 1/3x or 1/3 of a full tank.

After adding 12 gallons, at the end, he has 7/9x, or 7/9 of a full tank

So we start with

(1/3)x + 12 = 7/9x

Let's subtract 1/3x from both sides

12 = 7/9x - 1/3x

Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/3 becomes 3/9

12 = 7/9x - 3/9x

Now we simplify to get

12 = 4/9x

Multiply the reciprocal of 4/9 to both sides which is 9/4

12 * 9/4 = x

Answer is 27 gallons.

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

Suppose you have a coupon for 10% off and you use it to buy a CD which was already discounted 15%. Do you end up with a discount
Andrew [12]
No because the extra 10% is off the discounted price, not the original. image that the CD originally cost $10. 15% off of the CD would make the price $8.50. Another 10% off of $8.50 would make the price that you have to pay $7.65. 25% off of the original price of $10 would make the price $7.50. Sorry if its a bit confusing but I hope that helps!

Given the equation, what is the center and radius of the circle? <br> (X-2) ^2+ (Y+11)^2=100
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Center: (2, -11)

Radius: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 2)² + (y + 11)² = 100

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

-------------------------------

x - 2 = 0

  +2   +2

x = 2

------------

y + 11 = 0

   -11    -11

y = -11

------------------------------

r² = 100

r = √100

r = 10

----------------------------

Center: (h, k)

Radius: r

-------------------------------

Center: (2, -11)

Radius: 10

I hope this helps!
