After a 75% reduction, you purchase a new clothes dryer for $200. What was the original price of the clothes dryer?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be $x.

75% reduction ----- 100% -75%= 25%

25%x= 200

[tex] \frac{25}{100} x = 200 \\ x = 200 \div \frac{25}{100} \\ x = 200 \times \frac{100}{25} \\ x = 800[/tex]

Thus, the original price of the clothes dryer is $800.

Answer 2

Answer:

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x.

Final price=100%-75%

                  =25%

x-75%=200

x=200 x 100/75

x=8 x 100

x=800

Thank you!

A major traffic problem in the Greater Cincinnati area involves traffic attempting to cross the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Kentucky using Interstate 75. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.9 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.6. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes.Required:a. Assume that you are a motorist entering the traffic system and receive a radio report of a traffic delay. What is the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state?b. What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state?c. An important assumption of the Markov process model presented here has been the constant or stationary transition probabilities as the system operates in the future. Do you believe this assumption should be questioned for this traffic problem? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.36

b) 0.3

c) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period = P(No_Delay) = 0.9

Probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period = P(Delay) = 0.6

Period considered = 30 minutes

a)

Let A be the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state:

As the Probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period is 0.6 and one period is considered as 30 minutes.

So probability that for the next two time periods i.e. 30*2 = 60 minutes, the system in Delay is

P(A) = P(Delay) * P(Delay) =  0.6 * 0.6 = 0.36

b)

Let B be the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state.

This statement means that the traffic will not be in Delay state but be in No_Delay state in long run.

Let C be the probability of one period in Delay state given that preceding period in No-delay state :

P(C) =  1 - P(No_Delay)

        = 1 - 0.9

P(C) = 0.1

Now using P(C) and P(Delay) we can compute P(B) as:

P(B) = 1 - (P(Delay) + P(C))

      = 1 - ( 0.6 + 0.10 )

      = 1 - 0.7

P(B) = 0.3

c)

Yes this assumption should be questioned for this traffic problem because it implies that  traffic will be in Delay state for the 30 minutes and just after 30 minutes, it will be in No_Delay state. However, traffic does not work like this in general and it makes this scenario unrealistic. Markov process model can be improved if probabilities are modeled as a function of time instead of being presented as constant (for 30 mins).

Two sides of a triangle are equal length. The length of the third side exceeds the length of one of the other sides by 3 centimeters. The perimeter of the triangle is 93 centimeters. Find the length of each of the shorter sides of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the lenght of the two sides of equal lenghts, so the other is x+3

and the perimeter is x+x +x +3

P=3x+3

P=3(x+1)

93=3(x+1)

31=x+1

x=30

so the shorter sides are of 30 centimeters and the longest is 33

A circle's circumference is approximately 76 cm. Estimate the radius, diameter, and area of the circle by using 3 for pi.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 76cm

Circumference = 2(π)(r)

r -> radius

=> 2(π)(r) = 76

=> (π)(r) = 76/2

=> (π)(r) = 38

=> 3r = 38

=> r = 38/3

=> r = 13cm (Approx.)

Diameter = 2r = 2(13) = 26cm

Area = π(r)^2

        = 3(13)^2

        = 3(169)

        = 507 cm^2

Answer

d=25.34cm

a=160.53cm

cf=12.67cm

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference=cf

diameter=d

radius=r

area=a

d=2r

=2×12.67cm

=25.34cm

cf=2πr

76cm=2(3)r

76cm=3r

2

38cm=r

3

r=12.66^cm

r=12.67cm

find the area

a=πr^2

a=12.67×12.67πcm

a=160.53πcm(it is near to this)

A player at a fair pays Rs. 100 to roll a dice. The player receives Rs. 50 if the number of dots facing up is equal to 5, Rs. 200 if the number is 6, but nothing otherwise. Find the expected value of the reward Y. What is the expected value of the gain? Find out the standard deviation of Y.

Answers

Answer:

The dice has 6 options:

if the outcome is 5, player wins 50

if the outcome is 6, player wins 200

if the outcome is another number, the player does not win anything.

Now, remember that the expected value can be written as:

E = ∑xₙpₙ

where xₙ is the event n, and pₙ is the probability of that event.

for a dice, the probabilty for each number is 1/6

The expected value is:

E = (1/6)*(0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 50 + 200) = 41.66

The expected gain will be E - 100 (because the player pays 100 in order to play)

Then the expected gain is:

G = 41.66 - 100 = -58.33

The standard deviation can be written as:

s = √( ∑(x - x)^2/n)

where x is the mean, in this case the mean is:

(200 + 50 + 4*0)/6 = 41.66  and n = 6.

s = √( (1/6)*(4*(0 - 41.66)^2 + (50 - 41.66)^2 + (200 - 41.66)^2) ) = 73

So we have a lot of standard deviation on Y.

Figure out if the figure is volume or surface area.​

(and the cut out cm is 4cm)

Answers

Answer:

Surface area of the box = 168 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cardboard needed = Surface area of the box

Since the given box is in the shape of a triangular prism,

Surface area of the prism = 2(surface area of the triangular bases) + Area of the three rectangular lateral sides

Surface area of the triangular base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{height})[/tex]

                                                           = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)[/tex]

                                                           = 12 cm²

Surface area of the rectangular side with the dimensions of (6cm × 9cm),

= Length × width

= 6 × 9

= 54 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Surface area of the prism = 2(12) + 54 + 45 + 45

                                           = 24 + 54 + 90

Y=-×+1 and y=2×+4 how many solutions when graphed

Answers

Answer:

One solution (-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two linear equations have different slopes, different y-intercepts, and are indeed linear, these equations will only have one crossing when graphed, and hence one solution.

To find that solution, we can simply set the equations equal to each other.

y = -x + 1

y = 2x + 4

-x + 1 = 2x + 4

-3 = 3x

-1 = x

Now plug that value back into one of the equations:

y = -x + 1

y = -(-1) + 1

y = 2

So now you know the crossing for these two equations occurs at (-1,2).

Cheers.

Need the help thanks guys

Answers

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the function is in vertex form. Thus, we can analyze the equation to determine the x and y values of the vertex. We know that the template format of a vertex form equation is as follows:

f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k . The only constants we need are h and k, where 'h' is the x-value of our vertex and 'k' is the y-value of our vertex.

The value of 'k' can be found quite simply by looking at the equation: -9.

The value of 'h' is a little trickier, as we must take into account the 'subtract' sign of the template equation, meaning that the '+7' in the given equation actually means that we are subtracting negative seven. Thus, the value of 'h' is -7.

Thus, the vertex of this graph is (-7,-9).

This means that option D is correct.

Answer:

The vertex is at ( -7, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x+7)^2 -9

This is written in vertex form

y = a( x-h)^2 +k where ( h,k) is the vertex

y = ( x - -7)^2 + -9

The vertex is at ( -7, -9)
