Answer:
120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more, this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.
x(120) = 144(100)
120x = 14400
x= 120 pounds
Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 4x + 1...... (1)
g(x) = -11.... (2)
From equations (1) & (2)
-11 = 4x + 1
-11 - 1 = 4x
-12 = 4x
-12/4 = x
-3 = x
x = - 3
Answer:
One can be 95% confident that the drive-through service times of fast-food chain is between 169 seconds and 172 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval gives a range of value for the population mean or parameter, which is calculated from the statistic value of the data (that is sample statistic). This range gives the interval which is associated with a certain level of confidence for which the interval will contain the true value of the unknown parameter (true value). In the scenario above, the associated confidence level is 95%.Hence, we can be 95% confident that the true value will be continued with the interval (169 ; 172)
I think in the first sentence, that should have been 3/4 instead of 34. Total amount of steak bought (lb)
total amount = (3/4 lb/steak)(12 steak) = 9 lb
To find the total amount that Silvia spends for each pound of steak, we divide $90 by 9 and that will give us an answer of $10.
