Answer:

850.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number at the start be x shoes. Then:

x - 50 - 0.64(x - 50) = 288

x - 0.64x - 50 + 32 = 288

0.36x = 288 + 50 - 32

0.36x = 306

x = 306/0.36 =  850.

Find the interest due on $600 at 9.5% for 120 days.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Interest= $ 18.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $600 at 9.5% for 120 days

To find : Find the interest due

Solution :

Simple interest formula  I=P\times r\times t

Principle(P)=$600 , rate(r)=9.5%=0.095 , time (t)= 120 days

In years, 1 year = 365 days

1 day = \frac{1}{365} year

120 days = \frac{120}{365} year

Put values in the formula

I=P\times r\times t

I=600\times 0.095\times\frac{120}{365}

 I=\frac{6840}{365}=18.73

Therefore, Interest= $ 18.73

alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7
