Answer:

<h2>Below, Hope this helps :)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable t represents the amount of gas in mom's truck. Since we need to find a number that is 50% more than 12, we use 1.5 (we would use 2 if we want 100% more, so it makes sense that we use 1.5, since we want to add 1/2 of 12 to 12. The answer is 18.)

Given

The total spent on a slice of pizza and a soda is:

Cost > \$18000 per year

Required

Which of the options is true:

First, we calculate the daily amount spent on a slice of pizza and a soda.

For an outdoor concert by the city orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 10,000 people will attend if it's not raining. If
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The number of expected people at the concert is 8,500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to determine the expected number of people that will attend a concert if we are given the probabilities that it will rain and it will not rain.

We proceed as follows;

The probability that it will rain is 30% or 0:3

The probability that it will not rain would be 1 -0.3 = 0.7

Now, we proceed to calculate the number of people that will attend by multiplying the probabilities by the expected number of people when it rains and when it does not rain.

Mathematically this is;

Number of expected guests = (probability of not raining * number of expected guests when it does not rain) + (probability of raining * number of expected guests when it rains)

Let’s plug values;

Number of expected guests = (0.3 * 5,000) + (0.7 * 10,000) = 1,500 + 7,000 = 8,500 people
