Ted buys wood to build his guitars. Find the number of blocks of mahogany that Ted can afford to buy if he wishes to spend a total of $5000 this month, mahogany costs $450 per block, and he has already bought 7 blocks of spruce at $200 each.
Answer choices:
7
8
11
10
Answer:
the answer is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount Ted wishes to spend this month is $5000.
Mahogany costs $450 per block, and he has already bought 7 blocks of spruce at $200 each.
So, money spent on spruce = dollars
Money left after buying spruce = dollars
Now as $450 will be spent on buying 1 block of mahogany.
So, $3600 will be spent
and then your answer will be 8

SCC U of 1 pt 3 of 1 1.2.11 Assigned Media A rectangle has a width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters. V The length is cm.
Answer:
The length is of 59 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle:
The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:
[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]
Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:
This means that [tex]w = 49, P = 216[/tex]
The length is cm.
We have to solve the equation for l. So
[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]
[tex]216 = 2(49 + l)[/tex]
[tex]216 = 98 + 2l[/tex]
[tex]2l = 118[/tex]
[tex]l = \frac{118}{2}[/tex]
[tex]l = 59[/tex]
The length is of 59 cm.

8. Calculate the Perimeter AND Area of
the RIGHT Triangle below.
17 m
10 m
21 m
Answer:
[tex]\text{Perimeter: }48\:\mathrm{m},\\\text{Area: }84\:\mathrm{m^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle with side lengths [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] is given by:
[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]
Substituting [tex]a=21, b=17, c=10[/tex], we have:
[tex]A=\sqrt{24(24-21)(24-17)(24-10)},\\A=\sqrt{24(3)(7)(14)},\\A=\sqrt{7,084},\\A=\boxed{84\:\mathrm{m^2}}[/tex]
The perimeter of a polygon is given by the sum of its sides. Since the triangle has sides 10, 17, and 21, its perimeter is [tex]10+17+21=\boxed{48\:\mathrm{m}}[/tex].
A 17 feet ladder is placed against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 15 feet away from the building. How many feet high is the top of the ladder?
7 feet
12 feet
8 feet
15 feet
Answer:
[tex]8 \ feet[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In this situation, one is given the following information. A ladder is leaning against a wall and has a measure of (17) feet. The bottom of the ladder is (15) feet away from the wall. One can infer that the wall forms a right angle with the ground. Thus, the triangle formed between the ground, ladder, and wall is a right triangle. Therefore, one can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states the following,
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
Where (a) and (b) are the legs or the sides adjacent to the right angle of the right triangle. The parameter (c) represents the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle. In this case, the legs are the ground and wall, and the hypotenuse is the ladder. Substitute this into the formula a solve for the height of the wall.
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
Substitute,
[tex](ground)^2+(wall)^2=(ladder)^2\\\\(15)^2+(wall)^2=(17)^2\\[/tex]
Simplify,
[tex](15)^2+(wall)^2=(17)^2\\\\225+(wall)^2=289[/tex]
Inverse operations,
[tex]225+(wall)^2=289\\\\(wall)^2=64\\\\wall=8[/tex]
Can someone help me out here please? I tried dividing and multiplying but still have not got the correct answer. How do I go about solving this problem and where do I start?

Answer:
$4000
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem tells you the relation between commission (c) and stock value (v) is ...
c = 10 + 0.025v . . . . $10 + .025 of the value traded
We want to find the value (v) for the given commission (c=110). We can put these numbers into the formula and solve for v:
110 = 10 + 0.025v
100 = 0.025v . . . . . . . subtract 10
100/0.025 = v = 4000 . . . . divide by the coefficient of v
The value of stock traded was $4000.
_____
Additional comment
As always, you start by reading and comprehending the problem. You look for what is being asked for, what is being given, and any information that relates one to the other.
Here, the value of stock traded is asked for, the amount of commission is given, and a description of the relation of one to the other is provided. Translate that description to an equation, fill in the given value, and solve for the unknown. (That's what we did above.)
__
You can also work this in your head. The commission is $10 more than some fraction of the amount traded. Since the commission is $110, only $100 of that is the fraction of the amount traded. With a little experience, you can recognize the fraction 0.025 as being 1/40. That means $100 is 1/40 of the value traded, or the value traded is 40 × $100 = $4000.

8/18 = 6/16
9/15 = 44/50
12/18 = 16/24
Answer:
D. 12/18 = 16/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The method we must go about to solve this is finding the constant. For A, we can solve it by doing 10 divided by 8 (which is 1.25) and then 40 divided by 1.25 to see if it is 36. Alternatively, we can do 10 divided by 8 and then 40 divided by 36 to see if the constant is the same. It's up to you!
My answers:
A. No (constant varies)
B. No (constant varies)
C. No (constant varies)

FastForward has net income of $19,090 and assets at the beginning of the year of $209,000. Its assets at the end of the year total $264,000. Compute its return on assets.
Given:
Net income = $19,090
Assets at the beginning of the year = $209,000.
Assets at the end of the year total = $264,000.
To find:
The return on assets.
Solution:
Formula used:
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{\text{Net income}}{\text{Average of assets at the beginning and at the end}}[/tex]
Using the above formula, we get
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{20900+264000}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{473000}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{236500}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Return of assets}\approx 0.0807[/tex]
The percentage form of 0.0807 is 8.07%.
Therefore, the return on assets is 8.07%.
This one is tricky! Imagine that you meet a new friend who is also a beginner, and she can run the 5k in 23.5 minutes. You wonder what percentage of the beginner running population could run the 5k faster than your new friend (that is, what percentage of the population has a time that is less than your new friend
Answer:
38.74%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
21 21 22 22 23 23 23 24 24 24 24 24 25 25 25 26 26 27 27
We obtain the beginner running population and standard deviation
Population mean, μ = Σx/n = 456/19 = 24
Standard deviation, σ = 1.747 (using calculator)
Friend's Runtime, x = 23.5 minutes
Obtaining the friend's Zscore :
Z = (x - μ) / σ
Z = (23.5 - 24) / 1.747
Z = - 0.286
Obtaining the Pvalue :
Using a standard normal distribution table :
P(Z < - 0.286) = 0.38744
Hence. Percentage of population that has lesser time :
0.38744 * 100% = 38.74%

You may recall that the area of a rectangle is A=L⋅W, where W is the width and L is the length.
Suppose that the length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. If the area is 300 square feet, then what is the width of the rectangle, in feet?
Do not type the units in your answer.
Answer:
The width is 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
[tex]\displaystyle A=L\cdot W[/tex]
Where L is the length and W is the width.
We are given that the length of the rectangle is three times the width. In other words:
[tex]L=3W[/tex]
The total area is 300 square feet. And we want to determine the width of the rectangle.
So, substitute 300 for A and 3W for L:
[tex](300)=(3W)\cdot W[/tex]
Multiply:
[tex]300=3W^2[/tex]
Divide both sides by three:
[tex]W^2=100[/tex]
And take the principal square root of both sides. So:
[tex]W=10[/tex]
Thus, the width of the rectangle is 10 feet.

Medallia calculates and publishes various statistics concerning car quality. The dependability score measures problems experienced during the past 12 months by the owners of vehicles. Toyota had 1.02 problems per car. If you had purchased a Toyota model, what is the probability that in the past 12 months the car had. in excel
Answer:
Hence the answers are,
a) Probability that in the past 12 months the car had more than one problem = P(X > 1) is 0.2716.
b) The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had almost two problems = P( X < 2) is 0.9160.
c) The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had zero problems = P(X= 0 ) is 0.3606.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take X to be the number of problems per car.
By considering the given statement, X follows a Poisson Distribution with Mean (X) = 1.02.
The Poisson probability formula is :
e Pr( X = k) = e- k! k= 0,1,2...
a)
The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had more than one problem = P(X > 1)
[tex]P(X > 1) =1- P(X < 1) \\\\=1- (P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)-1.021.02 e + 1.021.02 =1-6 0!\\= 1-0.3606 + 0.3678\\= 1-0.7284\\= 0.2716[/tex]
b)
The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had almost two problems = PX < 2)
[tex]Pr(X < 2) = Pr(X = i) = Pr(X = 0) + Pr(X = 1) + Pr(X = 2)\\-1.021.020 -1.021.02 -1.021.02 e e + e + 0! 1! 2!\\= 0.3606 + 0.3678 + 0.1876\\= 0.9160[/tex]
c)
The Probability that in the past 12 months the car had zero problems = P(X= 0 )
[tex]- 1.021.02 e 0!\\= 0.3606[/tex]
Is it possible to have a relation on the set {a, b, c} that is both symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
Answer:
Yes, it is possible to have a relation on the set {a, b, c} that is both symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Set A={a,b,c}
Now, define a relation R on set A is given by
R={(a,a),(a,b),(b,a),(b,b)}
For reflexive
A relation is called reflexive if (a,a)[tex]\in R[/tex] for every element a[tex]\in A[/tex]
[tex](c,c)\notin R[/tex]
Therefore, the relation R is not reflexive.
For symmetric
If [tex](a,b)\in R[/tex] then [tex](b,a)\in R[/tex]
We have
[tex](a,b)\in R[/tex] and [tex](b,a)\in R[/tex]
Hence, R is symmetric.
For transitive
If (a,b)[tex]\in R[/tex] and (b,c)[tex]\in R[/tex] then (a,c)[tex]\in R[/tex]
Here,
[tex](a,a)\in R[/tex] and [tex](a,b)\in R[/tex]
[tex]\implies (a,b)\in R[/tex]
[tex](a,b)\in R[/tex] and [tex](b,a)\in R[/tex]
[tex]\implies (a,a)\in R[/tex]
Therefore, R is transitive.
Yes, it is possible to have a relation on the set {a, b, c} that is both symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.

Find the expected value of the proposition. Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.
Answer:
The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws.
This means that [tex]p = \frac{231}{361} = 0.6399[/tex]
Probability of the player making the next 2 free throws:
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.6399)^{2}.(0.3601)^{0} = 0.4095[/tex]
Find the expected value of the proposition:
0.4095 probability of you paying $31(losing $31), which is when the player makes the next 2 free throws.
1 - 0.4059 = 0.5905 probability of you being paid $21(earning $21), which is when the player does not make the next 2 free throws. So
[tex]E = -31*0.4095 + 21*0.5905 = -0.29[/tex]
The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.
A committee raised 7/9 of their target goal last year and another 1/9 of the goal this year. What fraction of their goal has been raised
First, find 40% of 3,000:
0.40 * 3000 = 1200
So they raised 1200 so far.
Now subtract 1200 from the total they want to raise:
3000 - 1200 = 1800
So they need $1,800 more to meet their goal.
