Answer:

c. 5x - 3 = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Jones deducts $3 from each of her 5 children's allowances this week because they didn't finish their chores. They then received a total of $125 in allowance. a. 5(x - 3) = 125

b. 5x - 15 = 125

c. 5x - 3 = 125

d. 5x = 140

Solution:

Let x represent the allowance for each of Mrs. Jones children. Since she deducts $3 from each children because they didn't finish their chores, the allowance for each child becomes x - 3.

There are 5 children, hence the allowance for the 5 children would be:

5(x-3)

Since they received a total of $125 in allowance, hence:

5(x-3) = 125

5x - 15 = 125

5x = 125 + 15

5x = 140

Option c is wrong

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

It is an unusual result contradicting the national survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

National survey showed 44% of college students who drink.

The professor's survey showed that 96/244 = 39% drink.

The professor's survey deviated from the national survey is 5% (44% - 39%) representing about 0.25% (5% squared) variance.

Standard deviation is the spread of a set of numbers from their mean.  In other words, it measures how far an observed value is from the mean. It can be calculated by getting the square root of the variance.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

1.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scale, we can simply multiply the distance that Sonja measured on the map by the actual mile distance that it states on the scale (1/2 or 0.5) to calculate the actual distance between Sonja's house and Sal's house like so...

3 * 0.5 = 1.5 miles

Therefore, we can see now that there is a total actual distance of 1.5 miles between both of their houses, which is represented as 3 inches on the map.
