Answer:

Approximately $14.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the groceries be represented by c, then;

cost price + VAT = c + (5% of c)

To get the value of the cost, c, that would make him spend as close to $15. Since the tax is 5% of the cost price, then the cost price would be close to $15.

Let c = $14.20, then;

So that,

c + (5% of c) = 14.20 + (5% of 14.20)

                    = 14.20 + 0.71

                    = $14.91

Thus, the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible is approximately $14.20.

A certain plant runs three shifts per day. Of all the items produced by the plant, 50% of them are produced on the first shift,
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Defective

Event B: Manufactured during the first shift.

Probability of a defective item:

1% of 50%(first shift)

2% of 30%(second shift)

3% of 20%(third shift).

So

P(A) = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.3 + 0.03*0.2 = 0.017

Probability of a defective item being produced on the first shift:

1% of 50%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.01*0.5 = 0.005

What is the probability that it was manufactured during the first shift?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.005}{0.017} = 0.2941

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

I want the answer to this , zoom in if you can't see well
galben [10]

We are going to need to know the formula for the lateral surface area and volume of a cylinder in order to find our answers. Below are the equations:

A_L = 2 \pi r h

V = \pi r^2 h

  • h is the height
  • r is the radius

Using these formulas, we can solve these problems.

A_L = 2 (3.14)(48.9) (84.3) \approx \boxed{25887.856}

V = (3.14) (48.9)^2 (84.3) \approx \boxed{632958.069}

For which pair of functions is the vertex of k(x)7 units below the vertex of f(x)?
kvv77 [185]

Answer: Option C

f(x) = x^2;\ k (x) = x ^ 2 -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we have a main function f(x) and we want to transform the graph of f(x) by moving it vertically then we apply the transformation:

k (x) = f (x) + b

If b> 0 then the graph of k(x) will be the graph of f(x) displaced vertically b units down.

If b> 0 then the graph of k(x) will be the graph of f(x) displaced vertically b units upwards.

In this case we have

f (x) = x ^ 2

We know that this function has its vertex in point (0,0).

Then, to move its vertex 7 units down we apply the transformation:

k (x) = f (x) - 7\\\\k (x) = x ^ 2 -7.

Then the function k(x) that will have its vertex 7 units below f(x) is

k (x) = x ^ 2 -7

Solve:<br> 2/3x+15=17<br><br> 3x+8-x=7<br><br> 4(2x-6)=2
Volgvan

Answer:

x = 3

x = (-1)/2

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 + 15 = 17

Put each term in (2 x)/3 + 15 over the common denominator 3: (2 x)/3 + 15 = (2 x)/3 + 45/3:

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = 17

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = (2 x + 45)/3:

1/3 (2 x + 45) = 17

Multiply both sides of (2 x + 45)/3 = 17 by 3:

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3×17

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3/3×(2 x + 45) = 2 x + 45:

2 x + 45 = 3×17

3×17 = 51:

2 x + 45 = 51

Subtract 45 from both sides:

2 x + (45 - 45) = 51 - 45

45 - 45 = 0:

2 x = 51 - 45

51 - 45 = 6:

2 x = 6

Divide both sides of 2 x = 6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

x = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer:  x = 3

______________________________________________________

Solve for x:

3 x - x + 8 = 7

Grouping like terms, 3 x - x + 8 = (3 x - x) + 8:

(3 x - x) + 8 = 7

3 x - x = 2 x:

2 x + 8 = 7

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2 x + (8 - 8) = 7 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

2 x = 7 - 8

7 - 8 = -1:

2 x = -1

Divide both sides of 2 x = -1 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-1)/2

2/2 = 1:

Answer: x = (-1)/2

_______________________________________

Solve for x:

4 (2 x - 6) = 2

Divide both sides of 4 (2 x - 6) = 2 by 4:

(4 (2 x - 6))/4 = 2/4

4/4 = 1:

2 x - 6 = 2/4

The gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, so 2/4 = (2×1)/(2×2) = 2/2×1/2 = 1/2:

2 x - 6 = 1/2

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 1/2 + 6

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 1/2 + 6

Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = 1/2 + (2×6)/2:

2 x = 1/2 + (2×6)/2

2×6 = 12:

2 x = 1/2 + 12/2

1/2 + 12/2 = (1 + 12)/2:

2 x = (1 + 12)/2

1 + 12 = 13:

2 x = 13/2

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (13/2)/2

2×2 = 4:

Answer: x = 13/4
