A store sold towels that cost $5 each at 15% less than the cost. The overhead was 20% of the cost of each towel. What was the selling price of each towel? How much more than $150 did the owner lose if 95 towels were sold?

Answer:

x = 2

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the simultaneous equations:

[tex]y=2-x\\6x+5y=11\\x+2y=2\\2x+y=1\\[/tex]

There are only two unknown values, so only two equations are needed to find the answer. I will use these:

[tex]y=2-x\\x+2y=2[/tex]

Substitute the first equation into the y in the second equation:

[tex]x+2(2-x)=2[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x+4-2x=2\\x=2[/tex]

Use the value of x to find y in equation 1:

[tex]y=2-x\\y=2-2\\y=0[/tex]

The probability of both the dice showing prime numbers is 1/4.

Prime numbers:

The numbers which have only two factors,  one and itself are known as prime numbers.

A dice has 6 faces numbering from 1 to 6.

Prime numbers from 1 to 6 are 2, 3, and 5.

Probability of one dice showing a prime number

                 = (number of favorable outcomes) / (total number of outcomes)

                 = 3/6

                 = 1/2

Probability of two dice showing a prime number = (1/2) x (1/2)

                                                                                 = 1/4

Therefore, the probability of both the dice showing a prime number is 1/4.

Total students who graduated this year from this university is 3000.

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean , μ = $20,000

Standard deviation, σ = $8,000

If 189 of the recent graduates have salaries of at least $32240.

Then, We first find the percentage of LU graduates with salaries more than $32240.

Required probability = P(x ≥ 32240)

We first normalize or standardize $32,240, then as we know,

z = (x - μ)/σ

= (32240 - 20000)/8000 = 1.53

The required probability:

P(x ≥ 32240) = P(z ≥ 1.53)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x ≥ 32240) = P(z ≥ 1.53) = 1 - P(z < 1.53)

= 1 - 0.93699

= 0.06301

= 6.301%

So, 6.301% of the graduates this year = 189

Total Number of graduates this year = (189/0.06301) = 2999.5 = 3000 graduates this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define Variables:

Let p= the price of each peach

Let m=the price of each mango

One peach costs $p, so 5 peaches cost 5p. One mango costs $m, so 6 mangos cost 6m. The total cost 5p+6m equals $17.75:

5p+6m=17.75

Likewise, if 2 peaches and 3 mangos cost $8, then:

2p+3m=8

Write System of Equations:

5p+6m=17.75

2p+3m=8

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the total number of students in category A and category B is 32 students .

which is represented as A union B ,

The rectangular form of Θ = 3π/4 will be; y + x = 0.

Complex value z is written in a rectangular form as z = x+iy where (x, y) is the rectangular coordinates.

On converting the rectangluar to polar form of the complex number;

x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ

z = r(cosθ+isinθ)

r is the modulus of the complex number and θ is the argument

r =√x²+y² and θ = tan⁻¹y/x

Given the Θ = 3π/4

Therefore, θ = tan⁻¹y/x  = 3π/4

y/x  = tan (3π/4)

Now multiply both side by x

yx/x  = tan (3π/4) x

y =  tan (3π/4) x

In a Multiple regression Model , the value of adjusted r-Squared is positive.

Adjusted r-Squared :

Adjusted r-squared is a modified version of r-squared adjusted for the number of predictors in the model. The fitted r-squared increases only if the new term improves the model beyond what would be expected by chance. This is reduced if the predictor happens to not improve the model more than expected.

The formula for r-squared,

Adjusted r-squared= 1 - [ ( 1 -r²)(n-1)/(n-k-1)]

where

N --> number of points in the data sample.

K --> number of independent regressors, i. number of variables in the model excluding or constant.

r²--> Indicates how well a term (data point) fits a curve or line.

r-squared values range from 0 to 1 and are commonly stated as percentages from 0% to 100%.

The difference quotient for the given quadratic equation is:

d = (2h + 4x + 4)

Here we have the quadratic function:

f(x)= 2x² + 4x - 3

And we want to get the difference quotient that is defined as:

d =  ( f(x + h) - f(x))/(h)

Replacing our function there, we get:

d = ( 2(x + h)² + 4*(x + h) - 3 - (2x² + 4x - 3)/h

d = (2x² + 2h² + 4xh + 4x + 4h - 3 - 2x² - 4x + 3)/h

d = (2h² + 4xh + 4h)/h

d = (2h + 4x + 4)

The rate when his distance from second base changes and it is two third of the way to first base is - 13.86 feet/s.

let us consider the following values

distance between batter to Second base = d feet

distance between batter to First base

= x feet

distance between first to second base

= 90 feet

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

d² = x² + 90²

Knowing that the velocity of the bat to first base is 25 ft/s,

the distance x can be written as: x

= 90 - 25t

The equation for is,d² = 90²+(90 -25t)²--(1)

we want to find the rate of change of d.

let it be d' and from implicit differentiation:

2d.d' = 2(90-24t) × (-25)

d' = -50(90 - 25t) / (2d)

d' = -25 (90 - 24t) / d ---(*)

We can determine t and d from the fact that the batter is two third to his first base: d = √90^2 + 60^2 = √1 = 108.2 feet

putting the values of d in (1) we get,

=> 90 - 25t = 60 => 25t = 30 => t = 6/5.

Substitute d' in the formula equation (*)

d' = -25 (90 - 24t) / d = -25(90-30)/108.2

d'= - 13.86

d' = - 13.86 feet/s

negative sign means decreasing distance from second base (as it approaches the first

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle which form the dining room is 7 by 5 meters.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 meters.

The total length of a shape's boundaries is its perimeter. The total lengths of all other edges and sides are added to find a shape's perimeter.

Let the length be a and the width be b.

Hence 2(a + b) = 24

or, a+b = 12

Now the area of the rectangle is given as 35 square meters.

Therefore ab = 35

now we will use these two equations to find the dimension of the rectangle

a+b = 12

or, a = 12 - b

again:

ab = 35

or, (12 - b)b = 35

or, 12 b - b² = 35

or,  - b² +12b -35 = 0

or,   b² - 12b + 35 = 0

or,  (b-7) (b-5) = 0

either b = 7 or b = 5 .

Therefore the value of a from the equations is 5 or 7.
