Answer:
Brand A is the best buy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Brand A has a pack of 28 pencils for 5.29 dollars. This means that the unit cost of one pencil in Brand A would be 5.29/28 = 0.2$ per pencil rounded up to the nearest tenth.Brand B has a pack of 48 pencils for 8.47 dollars. This means that the unit cost of one pencil in Brand B would be 8.47/48 = $0.8 per pencil rounded up to the nearest tenth.Since $0.2 is lesser than $0.8, it means that Brand A is the best buy.
The empirical rule states that approximately 68/95/99.7% of a normal distribution lies within 1/2/3 standard deviations. So the answer is 68%.
Answer: We have c = 3 and d = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve the equation:
6200.07 = 6.2x10^c + 7x10^d
First, we can separate the left number into two pieces:
6200.07 = 6200 + 0.07 = 6.2x10^c + 7x10^d
Now we can solve it as:
6200 = 6.2x10^c
6200/6.2 = 10^c
1000 = 10^c
now we can use that if y = a^x, then ln(y)/ln(a) = x
here we have:
c = ln(1000)/ln(10) = 3
and
0.07 = 7x10^d
0.07/7 = 10^d
0.01 = 10^d
d = ln(0.01)/ln(10) = -2
10.65/8.20= 1.30
1.30-1 ( for the 100% that was there)
.30 x100 (to get in percent)= 30 percent increase
13 and 1/2. This is because 4.5 times 3 is equal to 13.5
