36% in decimal from it .36
172.80 + .36 = 173.16
So original price was 173.16

Answer:

$270

Step-by-step explanation:

So Big G gets a great deal on a sofa...$172.80...the original price has to be higher, right? He (? She?) got 36% off...This means that they DID NOT pay 36%, but they DID pay 64% (bc 36 + 64 = 100%)

SO, you need to change percents to decimals to work with them in an equation. Let p be the original price. Original price times 64% will equal the sale price.

.64p = 172.80

DIVIDE BY .64

p = 270

You can check it using the 36% ---

270 × .36 = 97.2

The discount is $97.20

270 - 97.20 = 172.80✅

The original price for Goran's sofa was $270.00

Suppose the average tread-life of a certain brand of tire is 42,000 miles and that this mileage follows the exponential probabil

Ahat [919]

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life of less than 65,000 miles is 0.7872 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The cumulative distribution function for exponential distribution is :-

$P(X\leq x)=1-e^{\frac{-x}{\lambda}}$ , where $\lambda$ is the mean of the distribution.

As per given , we have

Average tread-life of a certain brand of tire : $\lambda=\text{42,000 miles }$

Now , the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life of less than 65,000 miles will be :

$P(X\leq 65000)=1-e^{\frac{-65000}{42000}}\\\\=1-e^{-1.54761}\\\\=1-0.212755853158\\\\=0.787244146842\approx0.7872$

Hence , the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life of less than 65,000 miles is 0.7872 .
