Let's make things easier by simplifying things.
y = 8 and x = 3 is more likely to be understood as a ratio. So for the rest of the answer, their relationship would be represented as y:x
Thus: y:x = 8:3
The problem would be finding y when x = 45
Let us proceed on using the previous equation and substitute x with 45 which would look like this:
y:45 = 8:3
Ratios can also be expressed as fractions which would make things more understandable and easy to solve. So the new form of our equation would be like this:
y/45 = 8/3
Then we proceed with a cross multiplication where the equation becomes like as what is shown below:
3y = 45 * 8
From there, you can solve it by multiplying 45 and 8 then dividing the product with 3 to get y
3y = 360
y = 120
Another way of looking at the problem, especially problems like these, is to take the whole question or statement as an equation. it would probably look like this:
y = 8 when x = 3 : y = ? when x = 45
This would make you understand what approach you can use to solve the given problem.
Answer:
0.006369
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a test consists of 10 multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers, one of which is correct.
By mere guessing p = probability for a right answer = 1/5 =0.20
There are two outcomes and each question is independent of the other.
X no of questions right is Bin (10,0.20)
the probability that the student will pass the test
= prob of getting more than 60%
=
=0.006369
Hi there
X+0.32x=82.5
Solve for x to get the cost price
1.32x=82.5
X=82.5/1.32
X=62.5 is the cost price
Hope it helps
