Answer:

182.91

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply the cost of the meal by the sales tax percentage as a decimal (.14)

$136.50*.14=19.11$

Then multiply the cost of the meal before sales tax by the tip percentage

$136.50*.2=27.30$

Then add the tip and the sales tax on top of the cost of the meal to calculate the total cost

$136.5+19.11+27.3=182.91$

If the diagonal of a square is approximately 12.73, what is the length of its sides?

Alja [10]

Answer:

The length of the sides of the square is 9.0015

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The diagonal of a square = 12.73

Required

The length of its side

Let the length and the diagonal of the square be represented by L and D, respectively.

So that

D = 12.73

The relationship between the diagonal and the length of a square is given by the Pythagoras theorem as follows:

$D^{2} = L^{2} + L^{2}$

Solving further, we have

$D^{2} = 2L^{2}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{D^{2}}{2} = \frac{2L^{2}}{2}$

$\frac{D^{2}}{2} = L^2$

Take Square root of both sides

$\sqrt{\frac{D^{2}}{2}} = \sqrt{L^2}$

$\sqrt{\frac{D^{2}}{2}} = L$

Reorder

$L = \sqrt{\frac{D^{2}}{2}}$

Now, the value of L can be calculated by substituting 12.73 for D

$L = \sqrt{\frac{12.73^{2}}{2}}$

$L = \sqrt{\frac{162.0529}{2}}$

$L = \sqrt{{81.02645}$

$L = 9.001469325$

$L = 9.0015$ (Approximated)

Hence, the length of the sides of the square is approximately 9.0015

Selena is 6 years younger than Paul. In 15 years, Paul will be 4 times the age that Selena is now. Find their present ages.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Paul = x

Age of Selena = x -6

Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:

x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)

x + 15 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 - 15

- 3x = -39

x = 13

<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

An Airliner has a capacity for 300 passengers. If the company overbook a flight with 320 passengers, What is the probability tha

TEA [102]

Answer:

The probability is $P(X >300 ) = 0.97219$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The capacity of an Airliner is k = 300 passengers

The sample size n = 320 passengers

The probability the a randomly selected passenger shows up on to the airport

$p = 0.96$

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $\mu = 320 * 0.96$

=> $\mu = 307.2$

Generally the standard deviation is

$\sigma = \sqrt{n * p * (1 -p ) }$

=> $\sigma = \sqrt{320 * 0.96 * (1 -0.96 ) }$

=> $\sigma =3.50$

Applying Normal approximation of binomial distribution

Generally the probability that there will not be enough seats to accommodate all passengers is mathematically represented as

$P(X > k ) = P( \frac{ X -\mu }{\sigma } > \frac{k - \mu}{\sigma } )$

Here $\frac{ X -\mu }{\sigma } =Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )$

=> $P(X >300 ) = P(Z > \frac{300 - 307.2}{3.50} )$

Now applying continuity correction we have

$P(X >300 ) = P(Z > \frac{[300+0.5] - 307.2}{3.50} )$

=> $P(X >300 ) = P(Z > \frac{[300.5] - 307.2}{3.50} )$

=> $P(X >300 ) = P(Z > -1.914 )$

From the z-table

$P(Z > -1.914 ) = 0.97219$

So

$P(X >300 ) = 0.97219$

Good strategy for using slope formula

Fantom [35]

I personally use y2-y1 over x2-x1 because it's simple. Plot two y values and two x values. The first ones you plotted are x1 and y1, the others are x2 y2. Now subtract y2-y1 and x2-x1. Afterwards, divide the y value by the x value, that will give you slope.
