After taking a 70 point test, a student guesses that he got 65 points correct. Later he finds out he got 67 points
correct. Calculate the percent error of his guess to 3sf.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Percent error = 4.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.

Mathematically, it is given by this expression;

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - theoretical \; value}{ theoretical \;value} *100[/tex]

Given the following data;

Experimental value = 67

Theoretical value = 70

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {67 - 70 }{ 70} *100[/tex]

[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {3}{70} *100[/tex]

[tex] Percent \; error = 0.04286 *100[/tex]

Percent error = 4.29%

4) 4x + 3y = 56
2x + y = 24
Solve using elimination please show work

Answers

Answer:

x = 8     y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2nd equation by -3 to get -6x - 3y = -72

Now  4x + 3y = 56

         -6x - 3y = -72

         -2x      =  -16

            x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into the 2nd equation

2(8) + y = 24

16 + y = 24

y = 8

Check:  Substitute the values into the 1st equation

4(8) + 3(8) = 32 + 24 = 56  So we have the correct values for x and y



(c) One lorry travels from your town to another town. The lorry reaches a top speed
of 90 km/h, but its average speed between the towns is only 66 km/h.
Why is the average speed less than the top speed?

Answers

Answer:

The average speed is 24 km/h less than the top speed of the lorry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The top speed of the lorry is the highest speed reached during transit, while its average speed is the mean speed attained

Given:.

Top speed of the lorry = 90 km/h

Average speed of the lorry = 66 km/h

Then,

The difference between the speed reached = top speed - average speed

                                            = 90 - 66

                                            = 24 km/h

Therefore, the average speed is 24 km/h less than the top speed of the lorry.

Answers

The correct answer is C. Finance charge

Explanation:

A credit card is a service offered by financial entities such as banks that allows customers to buy goods and pay them later. This implies the customer does not immediately for goods but pays for these after a specific time. The use of this benefit implies related costs such as fees for the use of the credit card, and interest costs (money charged for borrowing the money from the bank), which are known as finance charge or the money charged for the benefit of using credit. According to this, the correct answer is C.

Which proportional relationship has the greatest rate of change?

Answers

Answer:

Option (1)  ;   y = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) reads y = 7x, a line with slope 7, therefore the rate of change in this is 7

(2) says that y increases 12 units every time that x increases 4 Then the rate of change is: (increase in y / increase in x = 12/4 =3

(3) shows a table from which we can see that an increase of y in 8 corresponds to an increase of x in 2:  rate of change = (8 - 0) , (2 - 0) = 4

(4) shos a line with slope (rate of change) given by:  (12 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 12/2 = 6

Therefore, the greatest rate of change is shown by the first expression

Lillian and Isabella went shopping for school supplies. Lillian found her favorite notebook on sale so she bought three of the exact same notebook. Isabella also wanted a notebook. She bought one of the same notebooks that Lillian bought. Both girls started shopping with the same amount of money. If Lillian spent all of her money and Isabella had $5 left, how much money did each girl have when she arrived at the store? please show your work/steps​

Answers

Answer:

Each girl had $7.50 when they arrived.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to figure out what c (cost of each notebook) is first before we find out how much money each girl had. We also know they have the same money, so both sides are connected. The equation should be: 3x = x + 5.

3x = x + 5

First, subtract x from both sides. This cancels out the addition by x.

3x - x = 5

Now, subtract x from 3x. This equals 2x.

2x = 5

To cancel out the multiplication by 2, divide both sides by 2.

x = 5/2

Lastly, divide 5 by 2 to get 2.5.

x = 2.5

Substitute x for 2.5 in the earlier equation (3x = x + 5)

3(2.5) = 2.5 + 5

First, multiply 3 by 2.5 to get 7.5.

7.5 = 2.5 + 5

Add 2.5 to 5 to get 7.5.

7.5 = 7.5

Both sides are equal so we have our answer. So, both girls had $7.50 when they arrived at the store.
