Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that the invested amount in the investment paying 8% interest is a

Now, since the total amount invested = $3000.

Then, the amount invested in the investment that will be paying 10% interest can be represented as:

= $(3000-a)

Income earned on $a that is being invested in 8% interest = $a × 8/100 = $0.08a

Income earned from $(3000-a) in the 10% investment is:

= $(3000-a)× 10/100

= $(300 - 0.1a)

Since total income of the two investment = $290;

Then;

0.08a + (300 - 0.1a) = 290

0.08a + 300 - 0.1a = 20-

300 - 0.02a = 290

-0.02a = -10

a = -10/-0.02

x = 500

Thus;

the amount invested in an investment paying 8% interest = $500

the amount invested in an investment paying 10% interest = $(3000 - 500) = $2500

I need help!<br><br>solve for x

Volgvan

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a fun fact, all of those angles actually add up to 360 degrees!

How do we know this? Well if you were to draw a small arc between each of the lines, you would see that the arc would end up making a circle. And remember, circles have 360 degrees!

Now we can do some basic algebra. Add up all the angles and set that equal to 360.

(2x) + (x) + (3x + 20) + (2x+20) = 360.

8x + 40 = 360

8x = 320

x = 40

Hope this helped!

1) Given P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5, do the following.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1) a) 0.8

b) 0.6

2) a) 0.08

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.3$ and $P(B) = 0.5$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\OR\\P(A\cup B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\cap B)$

(a) If A and B are mutually exclusive i.e. no common thing in the two events.

In other words:

$P(A\ and\ B)$ = $P(A \cap B)$ = 0

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0 = \bold{0.8}$

(b) P(A and B) = 0.2

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0.2 = \bold{0.6}$

*************************************

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.4$ and $P(B) = 0.2$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B)$ for dependent events

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) \times P(B)$ for independent events.

(a) If A and B are independent events :

Using the above formula for independent events:

$P(A\ and\ B) = 0.4 \times 0.2 = \bold{0.08}$

(b) $P(A / B) = 0.7$

Using above formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B) = 0.2 \times 0.7 = \bold{0.14}$

What is the area of the shaded region <br> 1cm is in the middle

Archy [21]

Answer:

Area of the shaded region= $128.86\,cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region=Area of the rectangle-Area of the circle

Area of rectangle= $Length\times Width$

$Length=11\,cm\\Width=12\,cm$

Area is:

$=11\times 12\\\\=132\,cm^2$

Area of the circle = $\pi \times r^2$

$r=1\,cm$

As, $\pi =\dfrac{22}{7} =3.14$

Area of the Circle is :

$=3.14\times 1 \times 1\\\\=3.14\times 1\\\\=3.14\,cm^2$

Area of the Shaded region:

Area of the shaded region $=132-3.14\\\\=128.86\,cm^2$
