The person buying the new computer will pay $120 more when choosing the rent-to-own option of paying $37 per week for 24 weeks over paying the whole cost of $768 at once.
What is a rent-to-own contract?A rent-to-own contract is a contract where the buyer pays for something as rent to the owner until the set period in the contract.
How to solve the given question?In the question, we are informed that a person decides to buy a new computer. He has two options to buy. Either he can pay the full cost of the computer = $768, or he can choose a rent-to-own option, in which he will pay $37 per week for 24 weeks.
We are asked to find the extra cost that the person will pay if he chooses the rent-to-own option, after completing all his payments.
The total amount that the person pays in the rent-to-own option = $37*24
or, the total amount that the person pays in the rent-to-own option = $888.
The actual cost of the computer = $768.
∴ Extra payment = Total Payment - Actual cost
or, Extra payment = $888 - $768 = $120.
∴ The person buying the new computer will pay $120 more when choosing the rent-to-own option of paying $37 per week for 24 weeks over paying the whole cost of $768 at once.

Star Wars land encompasses an area of 14.0 acres. [1.00 acre = 4046.86m2]. If Star Wars land were made into a circle, what would be the radius of Star Wars land?
Answer:
The answer is 134.29 mStep-by-step explanation:
First of all we need to convert 14.0 acres to m²
1.00 acre = 4046.86 m²
14.0 acres = 14 × 4046.86 = 56656.04 m²
Area of a circle = πr²
where
r is the radius
To find the radius substitute the value for the area into the above formula and solve for the radius
That's
[tex]56656.04 = \pi {r}^{2} [/tex]
Divide both sides by π
We have
[tex] {r}^{2} = \frac{56656.04}{\pi} [/tex]
Find the square root of both sides
[tex]r = \sqrt{ \frac{56656.04}{\pi} } [/tex]
r = 134.29139
r = 134.29 m to 2 decimal places

Answer:
Slope= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change can simply be called slope
So the rate of change or slope of the linear function that passes through the points (2, 9) and (-1, 3) is
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Where y2= 3
Y1= 9
X2= -1
X1= 2
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Slope= (3-9)/(-1-2)
Slope= -6/-3
Slope= 2

What is the length of AM?
Enter your answer in the box.
units
Answer:
AM= Half of AB
or, 3x+3=(8x-6)/2
or, 6x+6=8x-6
or, 2x=12
Therefore,x=6
so,AM=3*6+3=21
So the units is 21
Answer:
[tex]\Huge \boxed{21}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
AM = 3x + 3
AB = 8x - 6
Point M is the midpoint of AB.
So, AM = AB/2
3x + 3 = (8x - 6)/2
Multiplying both sides by 2.
2(3x + 3) = 8x - 6
Expanding brackets.
6x + 6 = 8x - 6
Subtracting 6x from both sides.
6 = 2x - 6
Adding 6 to both sides.
12 = 2x
Dividing both sides by 2.
6 = x
Let x = 6 for the length of AM.

Answer:
x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3 - x = 5x + 21
- x + 3 = 5x + 21
(- x + 3) + (- 3 - 5x) = (5x + 21) + (- 3 - 5x)
(- x + 3) + (- 5x - 3) = (5x + 21) + (- 5x - 3)
- x + 3 - 5x - 3 = 5x + 21 - 5x - 3
- x - 5x + 3 - 3 = 5x - 5x + 21 - 3

Consider the linear equation, 2.5n + 5.2 = 35.2.
What property will be used to complete the first step in solving for n?
Answer:
Subtraction Property of Equality
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving an equation for a variable (in this case n), we want to move all of the n-terms to 1 side and the non-n terms to the other side. To do this, we can subtract 5.2 from both sides to leave 2.5n by itself. The property we used to do this is the Subtraction Property of Equality which states that if you subtract a quantity from one side of an equation, you must also subtract that same quantity from the other side of the equation.
Answer: A is the right one
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the linear equation, 2.5n + 5.2 = 35.2.

A piece of rope falls out of a hot air
balloon from a height of 5,184 ft. If the
equation for height as a function of time
is h(t) = -16t2 - initial height where t is
time in seconds and h(t) is height in feet,
how many seconds will it take for the
piece of rope to hit the ground?
==========================================
Explanation:
The equation should be h(t) = -16t^2 + (initial height). If you subtract off the initial height, then you'll have a negative starting height, which is not correct. Try plugging t = 0 into h(t) = -16t^2 - (initial height) and you'll see what I mean.
The initial height is 5184. We want to find the t value when h(t) = 0. So we want to find the time value when the height is 0.
--------------
h(t) = -16t^2 + (initial height)
h(t) = -16t^2 + 5184
0 = -16t^2 + 5184
16t^2 = 5184
t^2 = 5184/16
t^2 = 324
t = sqrt(324)
t = 18
It takes 18 seconds for the rope to hit the ground.
Which statement is true? Step by step.
Answer:
I believe the answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 13 daises per bouquet, that means one bouquet is all daises. The other bouquet has 30 flowers. 30-13 is 17 which means there are 17 other flowers rather than daises. 17 is greater than 13 by 4 which is not that much. Therefore I think the answer is letter A.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. The probability of randomly selecting a daisy from Bouquet S is less than the probability of randomly selecting a daisy from bouquet T.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that Bouquet S contains 30 flowers and 13 of those flowers are daisies. Therefore, the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet S can be modeled by:
13/30, which is greater than 1/3 but less than 1/2
We are also told that Bouquet T contains 13 flowers and 13 daises. From this information, we can conclude that all of the flowers in Bouquet T are daises, or the probability can be modeled by:
13/13 = 1
Therefore, because the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet S is 13/30 and the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet T is 1, we can conclude that, as option A states, the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet S is less than the probability of selecting a daisy from Bouquet T.

A quality control manager is concerned about variability of the net weight of his company’s individual yogurt cups. To check the consistency, he takes a random sample of sixteen 6-ounce yogurt cups and finds the mean of the sampled weights to be 5.85 ounces and the sample standard deviation to be 0.2 ounce. Test the hypotheses H0: µ ≥ 6 Ha: µ < 6 at the 5% level of significance. Assume the population of yogurt-cup net weights is approximately normally distributed. Based on the results of the test, will the manager be satisfied that the company is not under-filling its cups? State the decision rule, the test statistic, and the manager’s decision.
Answer:
Decision rule : The p-value < [tex]\alpha[/tex] so the null hypothesis is rejected
The test statistics is [tex]t = -2.8[/tex]
The manger will not be manager be satisfied that the company is not under-filling since the company is under-filling its cups
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 16
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 5.85[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.2[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu \ge 6[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu < 6[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{ 5.86 - 6 }{ \frac{ 0.2}{ \sqrt{ 16} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -2.8[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z-table the value is
[tex]p-value = P(Z < -2.8 ) = 0.0025551[/tex]
[tex]p-value = 0.0025551[/tex]
Given that the [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] we reject the null hypothesis
Hence there is sufficient evidence to support the concern of the quality control manager. and the manger will not be satisfied that since the test proof that the company is under-filling its cups

Estimate the cost of painting a homecoming float if the area to be painted is 9 feet by 16 feet and a quart of paint that covers 53 square feet costs $11.99
Answer:
$32.58
Step-by-step explanation:
The area needed to be painted = 9 feet × 16 feet = 144 ft². The cost of painting a 53 ft² room is a quart of paint which costs $11.99, therefore the quart needed to paint 144 ft² area is:
[tex]Number\ of \ quart=\frac{144\ ft^2}{53\ ft^2} =2.717\ quart\\[/tex]
Since one quart cost $11.99, therefore the cost of 2.717 quart is:
Cost = 2.717 × $11.99 = $32.58
It would cost $32.58 to paint a 9 feet by 16 feet

Compute the probability of a value between 55.0 and 70.0. 19. Suppose the Internal Revenue Service reported that the mean
Answer:
a. The probability of a value between 75.0 and 90.0 is 0.40173
b. The probability of a value of 75.0 or less is 0.35942
c. The probability of a value between 55.0 and 70.0 is 0.19712
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for this we make use of the z score formula.
z = (x-μ)/σ,
where
x = raw score
μ = the population mean
σ = the population standard deviation.
a. Compute the probability of a value between 75.0 and 90.0.
When x = 75
μ =80.0 and σ = 14.0.
z = (x - μ)/σ
z = 75 - 80/ 14
z = -0.35714
z = -0.36 to 2 decimal places
Using the z score table to find the probability
P(x = 75) = P(z = -0.36)
= 0.35942
For x = 90
z = 90 - 80/14
z = 0.71429
z = 0.71 to 2 decimal place
Using the z score table to find the probability
P(x = 90) = P(z = 0.71)
= 0.76115
The probability of a value between 75.0 and 90.0 is:
75 < x < 90
= P( x = 90) - P(x = 75)
= 0.76115 - 0.35942
= 0.40173
Therefore, probability of a value between 75.0 and 90.0 is 0.40173
b. Compute the probability of a value of 75.0 or less.
For x = 75
From the question, we know that
mean of 80.0 and a standard deviation of 14.0.
z = (x - μ)/σ
z = 75 - 80/ 14
z = -0.35714
z = -0.36 approximately to 2 decimal places.
P-value from Z-Table:
P(x ≤ 75) = 0.35942
c. Compute the probability of a value between 55.0 and 70.0.
For x = 55
From the question, we know that
mean of 80.0 and a standard deviation of 14.0.
z = (x - μ)/σ
z = 55 - 80/ 14
z = -1.78571
z = -1.79 approximately to 2 decimal places
Using the z score table to find the probability
P(x = 55) = P(z = -1.79)
= 0.036727
For x = 70
z = 70 - 80/14
z = -0.71429
z = - 0.71 approximately to 2 decimal place.
Using the z score table to find the probability
P(x = 70) = P(z = -0.71)
= 0.23885
The probability of a value between 55.0 and 70.0 is:
55 < x < 70
= P( x = 70) - P(x = 55)
= P( z = -0.71) - P(z = -1.79)
= 0.23885 - 0.03673
= 0.19712

Ms. Ironperson has completed 12 posters and will complete 6 more per day.
Mr. Thoro has not started yet but can make 12 per day.
The variable x denotes the number of days and y denotes the number of posters.
So, after x day the number of poster completed by Ms. Ironperson will be:
y = 12 + 6x
And after x day the number of poster completed by Mr. Thoro will be:
y = 12x
Thus, the equations needed to solve this problem are:
y = 12 + 6x
y = 12x
Compute the value of x as follows:
12x = 12 + 6x
6x = 12
x = 2
The number of posters completed by each Avenger is:
y = 12x = 12 × 2 = 24
Thus, the number of posters completed by each Avenger will be 24.
On-the-Go Phone Company has two monthly plans for their customers. The EZ Pay Plan costs $0.15 per minute. The 40 to Go Plan costs $40 per month plus $0.05 per minute.
Write an expression that represents that monthly bill for x minutes on the EZ Pay Plan.
Answer:
Ok, the EZ plan can be written as:
C1(x) = $0.15*x
where x is the number of minutes used in the whole Month.
The 40 to Go Plan can be written as:
C2(x) = $0.05*x + $40.
So we have two linear relationships.
The Ez plan has a larger slope, but has no y-intercept.
So we now can find the number of minutes needed to have the exact monthly cost in each plan:
C1(x) = C2(x)
$0.15*x = $0.05*x + $40
($0.15 - $0.05)*x = $40
$0.10*x = $40
x = $40/$0.10 = 400.
So if in one month, you use exactly 400 minutes, you will pay exactly the same wich each plan.
Now, if you speak less than 400 minutes, is better to use the EZ Pay Plan, because it has o y-intercept, and is more efficient for lower values of x.
If you will use more than 400 minutes per month, then the 40 to Go Plan is better, because the slope is smaller.
