Let x be the entire portion of the money Becca needs to save to buy a new tennis racket.

So, 0.25x=$21

x=$21/0.25
x=$84

Thus, the total amount she needs to save is $84. Now, we'll deduct 25 from 84 to get the 75 percent or the remaining amount she has to save.

$84-$21=$63

The answer is $63.

Answer: The tennis racket costs $84.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation.

The price of the tennis racket (x) multiplied by the percentage Becca saved in decimal form (25/100= 0.25) is equal to $21.

Mathematically speaking:

x (25/100) =21

Solving for x:

x 0.25 = 21

x =21/0.25

x = $84

The tennis racket costs $84.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

The mass of the eggs laid by a certain breed of hen is a normally distributed random variable with mean 0.06kg and standard devi
Olin [163]

a (i) The number of standard size is 288 eggs

a (ii) The number of medium size is 1,476 eggs

a (iii) The number of large size is 36 eggs

b (i) The expected profit made from selling the standard size is Gh¢43.2

b (ii) The expected profit made from selling the medium size is Gh¢516.6

b (iii) The expected profit made from selling the large size is Gh¢16.2

The given parameters:

the mean of the distribution, m = 0.06 kg

standard deviation (std) of the distribution, d = 0.009 kg

number of the samples, n = 1800 eggs

(i) Find the position of "less than 0.052 kg (standard size)":

  • 1 standard deviation below the mean = m - d
  • m - d = 0.06 kg  -  0.009 kg = 0.051 kg

(<em>the </em><em>standard size</em><em> is 1 standard deviation below the mean</em>)

  • less than 1 standard deviation below the mean in a normal distribution is equal to 16% of the data samples
  • Number of standard size = 0.16 x 1800 = 288 eggs

(ii) Find the position of "Between 0.052 kg and 0.075kg (medium size)":

  • 0.052 kg is 1 standard deviation below the mean
  • 2 standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d
  • m + 2d = 0.06 + 2(0.009) = 0.078 kg

(<em>the </em><em>medium size</em><em> is between 1 std below the mean and 2 std above the mean</em>)

  • Between 1 std below the mean and 2 std above the mean in a normal distribution = (68 + 14)% = 82%
  • Number of medium size = 0.82 x 1800 = 1,476 eggs

(iii) Find the position of "Greater than 0.075 kg (large size)":

  • 0.078 kg is 2 standard deviation below the mean
  • greater than 2 std above the mean in a normal distribution = 2 % of the data samples
  • Number of large size = 0.02 x 1800 = 36 eggs

<u>Check:</u> <em>288 eggs + 1476 eggs + 36 eggs = 1,800 eggs</em>

(b) the cost of production of an egg = Gh¢0.45

the selling price of the standard size = Gh¢0.60

the selling price of the medium size = Gh¢0.80

the selling price of the large size = Gh¢0.95

(i) The expected profit made from selling the standard size:

Profit = total revenue - cost of production

Profit = 288(0.6) - 288(0.45) = Gh¢43.2

(ii) The expected profit made from selling the medium size:

Profit = total revenue - cost of production

Profit = 1476(0.8) - 1476(0.45) = Gh¢516.6

(iii) The expected profit made from selling the large size:

Profit = total revenue - cost of production

Profit = 36(0.9) - 36(0.45) = Gh¢16.2

Lerok [7]

The length is 14.5 inches, the width is 11 inches and the height is 2 meters.

<h3>Length, width and height</h3>

Given:

Row=3 and 4

Height=1.5

Maximizing by 1/2 inches

Diameter=3.5

Hence:

Length:

Length=3.5×4+1/2

Length=14.5 inches

Width:

Width=3×3.5+1/2

Width=11 inches

Height:

Height=1.5+1/2

Height=2 meters


Therefore the length is 14.5 inches, the width is 11 inches and the height is 2 meters.
