Answer:

133 1/3 or 133.33

Step-by-step explanation:

So first let's turn 15% into a decimal. For me personally, its less intimidating that way.

15%=0.15

now, let's say the number we are trying to find is x.

A trick I use for these questions is to look at the words. "<em>Of</em>" is used when something is multiplied. "<em>Is</em>" is used for equal signs. So if 20 is 0.15 of x, our formula is easy to figure out!

20=0.15x

x=133.33333...

x=133 1/3

A bag contains purple marbles and red marbles, 34 in total. The number of purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of re

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

There are 26 purple marbles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to make an expression in terms of x where x represent red marbles. Given that the question says purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of red marbles. So the expression is :

Let red marbles = x,

$purple = 2 + 3x$

$red = x$

Next, given that the total marbles in the bag is 34 so you have to add both marbles together and solve the value of x :

$2 + 3x + x = 34$

$4x = 32$

$x = 32 \div 4$

$x = 8$

Lastly, you have to substitute the value of x into the expression of purple marbles :

Let x = 8,

$purpe = 2 + 3(8)$

$purple = 26$

When Sarah turned 18, she took $500 from her savings and opened a

Montano1993 [528]

The worth of Sarah's investment when she is 68 is $14,728.51.

<h3>What is the worth of the investment?</h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the worth of the investment is:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years = 68 - 18 = 50

$500 x (1.07)^50 = $14,728.51

In measuring the center of the data from a skewed distribution, the median would be preferred over the mean for most purposes be

icang [17]

<span>The median would be preferred over the mean in such scenarios because the median will lessen the impact of the outliers that fall within the "tail" of the skew. Therefore, if a curve is normally distributed, that is to say that data is normally distributed, there will be two tails, each with approximately equal proportions of outliers. Outliers in this case being more extreme numbers, and are based on your determination depending on how you are using the data. If data is skewed there is one tail, and therefore it may be an inaccurate measure of central tendency if you use the mean of the numbers. Thinking of this visually. In positively skewed data where there is a "tail" towards the right and a "peak" towards the left, the median will be placed more in the "peak", whereas the mean will be placed more towards the "tail", making it a poorer measure of central tendency, or the center of the data.</span>
