Answer: $134.40

Step-by-step explanation: Just find 80% of 168. That is because 100 - 20 is 80. The question says 20% OFF.

Hi!,
The person who answered above made a mistake and went the wrong way.

Since the pool is already 20% off the price stated is only 80% (100-20=80) of the original price.

So, divide amount by 80.
168/80 = 2.10

Then multiply by 100 to find 100% price
2.10 x 100 = 210

Answer is $210

Carlos bought a $235 water heater with his credit card. He used the water heater for five years before replacing it. He paid off
Mazyrski [523]

First we will find the interest on:


P = $235 principal


t = 2 years


r = 0.1415 annual rate


A = future value 


I = A - P the interest


A = P(1 + r)^t


A = 235(1 + 0.1415)^2


A = $306.21


I = A - P


I = $306.21 - $235


I = $71.21


the interest was $71.21.



Next lets find the lifetime cost value:


Lifetime cost value = 306.21 + 5*1.56*52 + 5*0.78*52 = $914.61 (considering that 1 year = 52 weeks)



Now lets find the percentage what percentage the interest is of the lifetime cost:


(71.21/914.61)*100 = 7.79%

A coin is tossed four times What is the probability of getting four heads? (1 mark) a) b) What is the probability of getting exa
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1. A coin is tossed four times. What is the probability of getting four heads?

Each toss has a 1/2 chance of getting a head.

So the chance of getting all four heads can be calculated as :

1/2\times1/2\times1/2\times1/2=1/16

2. A coin is tossed four times. What is the probability of getting two heads?

Each toss can have 2 results, so 4 flips will have 2^{4} or 16 results.

Getting two heads means getting two tails also. So, we can get the number of times two heads come = \frac{4!}{2!2!} = 6

We can write the groups like - {HHTT,HTHT,HTTH,THHT,THTH,TTHH}

So, the required probability is : 6/16 or 3/8.

3. Not getting two heads means getting 3 tails and 1 head or all tails.

Probability of having all tails = 1/2\times1/2\times1/2\times1/2=1/16

Probability of one head(1st trial) and three tails = 1/16

Probability of one head (2nd trial) and three tails (the 1st, 3rd and 4th trials) = 1/16

Probability of one head (3rd trial) and three tails (the 1st, 2nd and 4th trials) = 1/16

Probability of one head (4th trial) and three tails (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trials) = 1/16

So, the total probability showing only one or none head and at least three tails = 1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16=5/16

A textbook store sold a combined total of 438 biology and psychology textbooks in a week. The number of psychology textbooks sol
Liono4ka [1.6K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold:​ 181 textbooks

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

Let the total number of biology textbook sold be "a"

Let the total number of psychology textbook sold be "b"

If a textbook store sold a combined total of 438 biology and psychology textbooks in a week, then:

a + b = 438 ................... 1

If the number of psychology textbooks sold was 76 less than the number of biology textbooks sold, then;

b = a - 76 ...................... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1

a + (a-76) = 438

a + a - 76 = 438

2a = 438 + 76

2a = 514

a = 514/2

a = 257 biology textbooks

From equation 2;

b = a - 76

b = 257 - 76

b = 181 psychology textbooks

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold:​ 181 textbooks

Look at the figure. Which step should be taken next to construct a line through point P perpendicular to BA?
alexira [117]

ANSWER:

C. Place the compass on point A. Open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

EXPLANATION:

A perpendicular is a line that would be at a right angle to line BA.

The next step is to chose a radius that is greater than PB or PA so as to construct the bisector. And this can be done by placing the compass on point A, and open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

Use this radius to draw an arc above and below the line, and repeat the same using B as the center with the same radius. This would form two intersecting arcs above and below line BA. Join the point of intersection of the arcs by a straight line through P. This is the bisector of line BA through point P.
