(I'm guessing you mean ton)
10 ton = 20,000 pounds
It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
8.40 = 0.10m
84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.
Answer:
-3.5 or 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$42.02
Step-by-step explanation:
15% discount therefore if you want to find the original price it would be 100% plus 15% = 115%
Multiply the percentage (convert to decimal first) with the discounted value:
1.15(36.54) = 42.021
The 25th percentile corresponds to z ≈ -0.67.
The 90th percentile corresponds to z ≈ 1.28.
So, you can write two equations in μ and σ as here:
.. μ -0.67σ = 10
.. μ +1.28σ = 20
The solution is
.. μ ≈ 13.45
.. σ ≈ 5.11
