Answer:

603.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a book costs $ 1.49 and is sold in a retail store for $ 8.99, to determine what is the percentage in mark up, the following calculation must be performed:

1.49 = 100

8.99 = X

8.99 x 100 / 1.49 = X

899 / 1.49 = X

603.35 = X

Thus, the mark up percentage of the book is 603.35%, which implies an increase of more than 6 times its initial value.

Answer:

0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:

$P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-p)^{23}+23*(1-p)^{23-1}*p\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-0.008)^{23}+23*(1-0.008)^{23-1}*0.008\\P(X\leq 1)=0.8313+0.1542\\P(X\leq 1)=0.9855$

The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9855 or 98.55%.
