<h3>Answer:   98%</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The customer saves 15%, but still pays the remaining 85%. The two percentages add to 100%.

85% of $900 = 0.85*900 = 765

After the 15% discount is applied, the customer would pay $765

---------

Then after the sale, the price is marked up by 15%

This means we'll multiply by 1.15 to indicate a 15% increase

1.15*765 = 879.75

Notice that we don't get back to the original price (900) even though we increased by the same percentage as before. This is because 15% of a smaller number is a smaller amount; ie we have a smaller increase compared to the decrease earlier.

---------

Afterwards, divide the value 879.75 over the original price of $900

879.75/900 = 0.9775

Move the decimal point two spots to the right to end up with 97.75%

That percentage rounds to 98% when rounding to the nearest whole percent.

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No
Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B).

a.

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)

P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2

\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)

P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6

\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)

P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2

\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}
