Answer:

$21

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of each statue = x

Price of 8 statues = 8x

Price of 8 statues plus money left over = 8x + 72

Original amount of money = 240

Equation:

8x + 72 = 240

Subtract 72 from both sides.

8x = 168

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 21

Answer:

$21 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she had $72 left that means that she spent $168 so then you divide that by the 8 identical statues.

$240 - $72 = $168

$168/8 = $21

An insurance company issues life insurance policies in three separate categories: standard,preferred,and ultra- preferred. Of th
slega [8]

Answer:

a) 0.0002

b) 0.0057

c) 0.0364

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by stating the probabilities of a person belonging to each policy:

Standard: 0.3

Preferred: 0.5

Ultra- Preferred: 0.2

The probability of person belonging to each policy AND dying in the next year:

Standard: 0.3 x 0.015 = 0.0045

Preferred: 0.5 x 0.002 = 0.001

Ultra- Preferred: 0.2 x 0.001 = 0.0002

a) The probability a ultra - preferred policy holder dies in the next year is 0.001. To find the probability of a person being both a ultra - preferred policy holder AND die in the next year is: 0.001 x 0.2= 0.0002

b)  The probability is given by adding the probabilities calculated before :

0.0045 + 0.001 + 0.0002 = 0.0057

c) We use the results above again. This is 0.0002 / (0.001 + 0.0045). The answer comes out to be 0.0364

Fine length of BC on the following photo.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

BC=4\sqrt{5}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ACD

Find the length side AC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AC^2=AD^2+DC^2

substitute the given values

AC^2=16^2+8^2

AC^2=320

AC=\sqrt{320}\ units

simplify

AC=8\sqrt{5}\ units

step 2

In the right triangle ACD

Find the cosine of angle CAD

cos(\angle CAD)=\frac{AD}{AC}

substitute the given values

cos(\angle CAD)=\frac{16}{8\sqrt{5}}

cos(\angle CAD)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} ----> equation A

step 3

In the right triangle ABC

Find the cosine of angle BAC

cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{AC}{AB}

substitute the given values

cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{8\sqrt{5}}{16+x} ----> equation B

step 4

Find the value of x

In this problem

\angle CAD=\angle BAC ----> is the same angle

so

equate equation A and equation B

\frac{8\sqrt{5}}{16+x}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}

solve for x

Multiply in cross

(8\sqrt{5})(\sqrt{5})=(16+x)(2)\\\\40=32+2x\\\\2x=40-32\\\\2x=8\\\\x=4\ units

DB=4\ units

step 5

Find the length of BC

In the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BC^2=DC^2+DB^2

substitute the given values

BC^2=8^2+4^2

BC^2=80

BC=\sqrt{80}\ units

simplify

BC=4\sqrt{5}\ units

A computer can sort x objects in t seconds, as modeled by the function
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

  36 objects

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the value of x when t=9, so you're solving ...

  9 = 0.007x^2 +0.003x

  9 = 0.007(x^2 + 3/7x)

From here, we observe that an approximation is probably sufficient.

 9/0.007 = x(x +3/7) . . . . . the expression on the right is nearly x^2

  x ≈ 3/√.007 ≈ 35.9 ≈ 36

We can check:

  .007(36)(36 3/7) = 9.18

  .007(35)(35 3/7) = 8.68

To keep the computer busy for 9 seconds, it needs to sort 36 objects.

A horse is 17 hands tall at the hand equals 4 inches how tall is the horse in inches
Lilit [14]
<h3><u>68 inches</u></h3>

Because we know how large each hand is, we can multiply the number of hands by the amount of inches each one represents to find the total number of inches.

17 * 4 = 68
