Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  $24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference for principal amount P is ...

  (8% × P) - (7 3/4% × P) = $60

  0.0025P = $60

  P = $24,000 . . . . . multiply by 400

His principal was $24,000.

Use the table from a random survey about the preferred service for streaming movies. Out of 750 people, how many would you expect to prefer Company B?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer option is 192

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the results of a random survey about the preferred service for streaming movies.

We are to find the number of people we would expect to prefer Company B.

Number of people using service B = 32

Total number of people = 125

Number of people expected to prefer Company B =32/125 x 750  = 192

Two friends rent an apartment together. They agree that one person will pay 3 times what the other person pays. If the rent is $850, then what equation could be used to determine how much each person pays?

Answers

Answer:

n+3n=$850  n is one person and 3n is the other represented by n

Step-by-step explanation:

Two friends rent an apartment, where one person pays *3 times* of what the other person pays.

This can be shown as, where x is equal to the pay of what the other person pays:
Again, one friend will pay 3 times what one person pays.

3x + x = 850

Which can be simplified to:

4x = 850

Where 850 is the total rent to be payed.

To find out how much one person pays, you can solve the equation for x.

4x = 850

x = $212.5

Which of the following statements is meaningless?
A.There was a 3% decrease in the price of sugar.
B.There was a 200% increase in the population of a town.
C.There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam. D.There was a 0% change in the temperature in the room after 1 hour.

Answers

Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

If can't have a meaning as something can't decrease more than 100% of itself.

The statement that is meaningless is

There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam.

Option C is the correct answer.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

A percentage increase can be of any number.

A percentage decrease can not be below 100%.

Now,

A.

There was a 3% decrease in the price of sugar.

This is possible.

B.

There was a 200% increase in the population of the town.

This is possible.

C.

There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam.

This is not possible.

The highest percentage decrease can be up to 100%.

D.

There was a 0% change in the temperature in the room after 1 hour.

This is possible.

Thus,

There was a 120% decrease in the amount of water in a dam is meaningless.

  3x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 20-x

Here we have,

y = 2x - 10 - - - - - (1)

2y = x - 8 - - - - - (2)

As we have given the value of y i.e (y = 2x - 10) placing this value of y in the second equation we get,

Placing x = 4 in equation (1) we get,

It's the ratio of two integers stated as a fraction of a hundred parts. It is a metric for comparing two sets of data, and it is expressed as a percentage using the percent symbol.

It is given that:

Shania bought a $1,455 drum set on an installment plan.

The installment agreement included a 15% down payment and 18 monthly payments of $80.78 each

Down Payment = (15/100)x1444

= $218.25

The total amount of the monthly payment = $80.78x18

= $1454.04

Total cost of the plan = $1454.04 + $218.25

= $1672.29

Finance charge = $1672.29 - $1455

= $217.29

Thus, the down payment will be $218.25, the total amount of the monthly payments is $1454.04.

If one of the roots of the equation x² – 4x + k = 0 exceeds the other by 2, then find the roots and determine the value of k.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the solutions for a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -4

c = k

x = (4 ± sqrt(16 - 4k))/2 = 2 ± sqrt(4 - k)

x1 = 2 + sqrt(4 - k)

x2 = 2 - sqrt (4 - k)

x1 = 2 + x2

2 + sqrt(4 - k) = 2 + 2 - sqrt(4 - k)

2×sqrt(4 - k) = 2

sqrt(4 - k) = 1

4 - k = 1

k = 4 - 1 = 3

x1 = 3

x2 = 1

Answer:

The roots are 1 and 3.

k = 3.

Step- by-step explanation:

We use the facts that if α and β are the roots of ax^2 + bx + c = o then α+ β = -b/a and  α β = c/a.

The roots are written as  α and α+2, then:

α + α + 2 = -(-4)

2α + 2 = 4

α + 1 = 2

α = 1

also

α (α + 2) = k

Substituting for α:

1(1 + 2) = k

k = 3.

The roots are 1 and 1 + 2 = 3.
