The solution to this equation is C (6)
3x - 3 = 15
3x = 15 + 3
3x = 18
3/3 x = 18/3
x = 6
<span>The question is asking us to calculate the final cost of the item after the tax is applied. The price of item before the tax is: P = $40 and the tax rate as a percent is 8%. It means that r = 0.08. And the formula is: C = P * ( 1 + r ). Finally: C = $40 * ( 1 + 0.08 ) = $40 * 1.08 = $43.20. Answer: The final cost is $43.20. </span>
The second option is the answer
Answer:
P(x < 5) = 0.70
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: The area under a probability "curve" must be = to 1.
Finding the sub-area representing x < 5 immediately yields the desired probability.
Draw a dashed, vertical line through x = 5. The resulting area, on the left, is a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is equal to:
(average length)·(width, which here is:
2 + 5
----------- · 0.02 = (7/2)(0.2) = 0.70
2
Thus, P(x < 5) = 0.70
