Answer: 112.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The question really is asking whats 45% of 250
1. Calculate 10% of the total
2. Calculate 5% of the total
3. Solve for 40% of the total
4. Add 5% of the total
1. 10% of 250
250 = 100%
*divide both sides by 10*
25 = 10%
2. 5% of 250
25 = 10%
*divide both sides by 2*
12.5 = 5%
3. 40% of 250
10% + 10% + 10% + 10% = 40%
25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 40%
50 + 50 = 40%
100 = 40%
4. 45% of 250
100 = 40%
12.5 = 5%
100 + 12.5 = 40% + 5%
<em>112.5 = 45%</em>

84% of a contractor’s jobs involves electrical work. 75% of a contractor’s jobs involve plumbing work. Of the jobs that involve plumbing, 90% of the jobs also involves electrical work. Let E = jobs involving electrical work L = jobs involving plumbing work Suppose one of the contractor’s jobs is randomly selected. Using the sixth Excel worksheet, a) Find P(E). 0.84 b) Find P(L). 0.75 c) In words, what does E | L mean? d) Find P(E | L). e) Find P(E and L). f) Are E and L independent events? Why or why not? g) Find P(E or L).
I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20

So that's how we're able to go from this

to this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.
