Answer :
x = 53.85
Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.
1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42
2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85
3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :
42/0.78 = 53.85
Use the formula A = p( 1 + x)^n.
A = 1831.84(1 + 0.14)^6
You can finish.
To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for
probability is:
Probability = total number of successful events / total
events
Where in this case, an event is considered to be successful
if the sum is 3 on the pair of six sided dice.
First, let us calculate for the total number of events. There
are 6 numbers per dice, therefore the total number of combinations is:
total events = 6 * 6 = 36
Next, we calculate for the total number of combinations
that result in a sum of 3. We can identify that there are only two cases that
result in sum of 3. That is:
1st case: first dice rolls 1, second dice
rolls 2
2nd case: first dice rolls 2, second dice
rolls 1
Hence, total number of successful events = 2. Therefore the
probability is:
Probability = 2 / 36 = 1 / 18 = 0.0556 = 5.56%
Do the second one hope this helps
