Represent these consecutive numbers (assuming that they are all integers):
x
x+1
x+2
x+3
x+4
x+5
and so on
x+8
x+9 is the tenth number. x+9 = 10, so x = 9.
Think of it this way: there are 10 consecutive numbers, and the last one is 10.
Working backwards, we get the sequence 10, 9, ... 3, 2, 1.
The sum of such an arith sequence is equal to the count of the numbers times the average of the first and last terms:
sum here = 10(1+10)/2 = 5(11) = 55 (answer)
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Statistics has a lot of usage in business.
Using statistics as well as statistical tools helps in the provision of data to be used for business analysis. With available data we can get patterns in a a large database. Statistics can be used for auditing, as in question option b. For option c, statistics can be used for making business forecasts after the careful observation of trends and patterns that are in the data.
Option d does not make use of statistics. It has nothing to do with statistics neither does it have a computational feature.
Therefore, d.) questioning the executive's strategic decision is the answer to this question
263.27 m^2
rectangle : 15 x 10 = 150 m^2
the half circle at the top has a diameter of 6m. therefore, it’s radius is 3m. if it is cut in half, the part removed from the triangle height is 3m. therefore, the height of the triangle is 35 -15 = 20; 20 - 3 = 17. the height of the triangle is 17. the triangle area formula is a = 1/2(bh).
a = 1/2 (10)(17)
a = 1/2 (170)
a = 85 m^2
the circle would be a = πr^2 but divided by 2 bc it’s a half circle
a = π(3)^2
a = π9
a = 28.27 m^2
150 + 85 + 28.27 = 263.27 m^2
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
It is.
2(x+3)=2x +6
Times 2
2x + 6 =2x+6
