Sara and 3 of her friends went to lunch one day. Each person paid for her own lunch, but they agreed to split the tip. If the ti

p amount was 15% of the total, and the 4 lunches totaled to $60, what was the portion of each person’s tip amount?

a positive number is 7 times another number if 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times th

Neko [114]

Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

<u>A positive number is 7 times another number:</u>

a = 7b

<u>If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:</u>

a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

<u>To solve this we substitute </u><u>a</u><u> with </u><u>7b</u><u> in the second equation:</u>

7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3) ⇒ multiplying both sides by 2
14b + 6 = 5b + 15 ⇒ collecting like terms
14b - 5b = 15 - 6
9b = 9
b = 1 ⇒ solved for b

<u>Then, finding a:</u>

a= 7b
a=7*1
a= 7 ⇒ solved for a

<u>So the numbers are</u> 7 and 1

2. The Welcher Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw scores have a mean of

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 37.31 b) 42.70 c) 0.57 d) 0.09

Step-by-step explaanation:

We are regarding a normal distribution with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6, i.e., $\mu$ = 35 and $\sigma$ = 6. We know that the probability density function for a normal distribution with a mean of $\mu$ and a standard deviation of $\sigma$ is given by

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}]$

in this case we have

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}6}\exp[-\frac{(x-35)^{2}}{2(6^{2})}]$

Let $X$ be the random variable that represents a row score, we find the values we are seeking in the following way

a) we are looking for a number $x_{0}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{0})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{0}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.65$ , this number is $x_{0}$ =37.31

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.65, mean = 35, sd = 6)

b) we are looking for a number $x_{1}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{1})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{1}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.9$ , this number is $x_{1}$ =42.70

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.9, mean = 35, sd = 6)

c) we find this probability as

$P(28\leq X\leq 38)$ = $\int\limits^{38}_{28} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.57$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(38, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(28, mean = 35, sd = 6)

d) we find this probability as

$P(41\leq X\leq 44)$ = $\int\limits^{44}_{41} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.09$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(44, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(41, mean = 35, sd = 6)

Holly wants to save money for an emergency. Holly invests 1,500 in an account that pays an interest rate of 6.75%. How many year

lina2011 [118]

The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value 7300
P present value 1500
R interest rate 0.0675
T time?
7300=1500 (1+0.0675)^t
Solve for t
Divide both sides by 1500
7300/1500=1.0675^t
Take the log for both sides
Log (7300/1500)=t×log (1.0675)
Divide both sides by log (1.0675)
T=log(7,300÷1,500)÷log(1.0675)
T=24.2 years round your answer to get 24 years

Hope it helps!

Jacob is mixing salt with

77julia77 [94]

The number of tablespoons of salt jacob mixes with 1 cup of water is 4 tablespoon of salt.

<h3>How to interpret the division? </h3>

When 'a' is divided by 'b', then the result we get from the division is the part of 'a' that each one of 'b' items will get.

Thus, if 10 mangoes are there, and 2 people, then 10 ÷ 2 is the number of mangoes each person would get, which is 5.

Division, thus, can be interpreted as equally dividing the number that is being divided in total x parts, where x is the number of parts the given number is divided.

Thus, $a \div b = a$ divided in b equal parts.

Also, we can write: $a \div b = a \times \dfrac{1}{b}$

(it is since $a = a times 1 so a/b = 1 \times (a/b) = (1/b) \times a$ )

The given table is:

Tablespoons of salt Cups of water

8 2

16 4

24 6

2 cups of water gets 8 tablespoon of salt.

Then 1 cup of water gets 8/2 = 4 tablespoons of salt. (divided the numbre of cups of water and number of tablespoons of salts in 2 equal parts).

This pattern remains same for other rows of the table, since we have:

1 cup of water gets 8/2 = 16/4 = 24/6 = 4 tablespoons of salt.

Thus, the number of tablespoons of salt jacob mixes with 1 cup of water is 4 tablespoon of salt.
