Answer:

List price (original price) = $350

Discount amount ($ saved) = $133

Step-by-step explanation:

The list price is the sale price ($217) divided by the difference of 1 minus the result of the discount (38%) divided by 100.

The hot tub takes in 1,520 watts everyday to keep its water warm. A kilowatt has 1,000 watts (hence kilo means 1,000). 1,520 divided by 1,000 equals 1.520. However, this isn't free electricity - Each kilowatt costs 8 cents or 0.08 of a dollar. 1.520 x 0.08 = 12.160 or $12.16. We aren't done yet! This hot tub runs for 4 months (and we are assuming these months exactly have 30 days each). 4 x 30 = 120. $12.16 x 120 = $1,459.20. In order to keep the hot tub running, you need to pay 1,459.20 for all the kilowatts of electricity it takes.

Part 1) what is the total square footage of the fence ?

we know that

The area of the fence is equal to

$A=LW$

substitute the values

$A=(109)(7)=763\ ft^{2}$

Part 2) How much will Jake get paid

Using proportion

$\frac{0.25}{1}\frac{\$}{ft^{2}}=\frac{x}{763}\frac{\$}{ft^{2}}\\ \\x=763*0.25\\ \\x=\$190.75$

According to a study by de Anna students, the height for Asian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 66 inches

Maslowich

A. X ~ N(66, 6.25)

b. $z_{1} =\frac{65-66}{2.5}=-0.4$
$z_{2} =\frac{69-66}{2.5}=1.2$
Using a standard normal probability table to find probability values for the z-scores, we get:
P(65 < X < 69) = 0.1554 + 0.3849 = 0.5403

c. z= 0.524 and -0.524
$0.524=\frac{X-66}{2.5}$
1.31 = X - 66
X = 67.31
When z = -0.524, X = 64.69.
P(64.69 < X < 67.31) = 0.4
