Answer:

a. Sale Price=\$168.75

b. Total percent discount=32.5\%

Step-by-step explanation:

First Discount:

Initial Price=\$250

Discount=25\%

25\%\ of\ 250=\frac{25}{100}\times 250=62.5\\\\Now\ Price=250-62.5=$187.5

Second Discount:

Price=187.5\\\\Discount=10\%\\\\10\%\ of\ 187.5=\frac{10}{100}\times 187.5=18.75\\\\Now\ Sale\ Price=187.5-18.75=\$168.75

Effective Discount:

Initial Price=\$250

Final Price=\$168.75

Total discount=250-168.75=81.25

\%\ discount=\frac{81.25}{250}\times 100=32.5\%

It costs dylan $x$ dollars to buy $3$ tickets to the zoo. he discovers that if he were to buy $5$ tickets, he would receive a to
jonny [76]

So, if Dylan has x dollars and he bought 3 tickets with them, the tickets were priced at k dollars per ticket. If he bought 5 tickets with the x dollars and saved 12 total dollars, it would be the same as buying the tickets with x-12 dollars, so we have:

\frac{x}{3}=k\\ \frac{x-12}{5}=q

So, with this we have:

x=3k\\ x=5q+12

If we're looking for a number that satisfies these constraints, we can work with modular arithmetic. We have:

x\equiv 0 \pmod{3}\\ x\equiv 12 \pmod{5}

So, we can use the chinese remainder theorem here. So, we clearly have x=3k, which means:

3k\equiv12 \pmod{5} \implies\\ k \equiv 4 \pmod{5} \implies\\ k=5j+4

So, since we have x=3k, we also have x=3(5j+4)=15j+12.

So, clearly j=0 won't work so we should have j=1. That means our money per ticket for the five tickets is:

\frac{27-12}{5}=3

And our money per three tickets is:

\frac{27}{3}=9

This is easily verifiable. Three tickets needs 27 dollars and 5 tickets needs 15 dollars, which is 12 less than 27 dollars. So we have our money per three dollar ticket at 6 more than money per five dollar.

Joe receives an average of 780 emails in his personal account and 760 emails in his work account each month. After changing his
Semmy [17]

Answer:

702 emails

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This problem bothers on depreciation of value, in this context it is Joe's email that has depreciated by 10%.</h2>

Given data

Average personal emails received monthly = 780 emails

Average work emails received monthly= 760 emails

     

      We are required to solve for the new amount of emails Joe will be receiving after changing his address, to find this value we need to solve for the depreciation of his personal mails.

      After solving for the depreciation , we then need to subtract the depreciation from the initial number of mails to get the new number of mails.

let us solve for 10% depreciation.

depreciation= \frac{10}{100} *780\\depreciation=0.1*780= 78 emails

The new number of mails

= initial number of mail- depreciation\\ =780-78= 702 emails

Joe will be receiving an average of 702 emails in his personal account monthly

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a )

sample mean = sum total of given data / no of data

= 415.35 / 20 = 20.76

To calculate the median we arrange the data in ascending order and take the average of 10 th and 11 th term .

= 20.50 + 20.72 / 2

= 20.61

b ) To calculate the 10% trimmed mean , we neglect the largest 10% and smallest 10 % data and then calculate the mean . Here we neglect the first two smallest and last two greatest

(18.92 + 19.25 ..... + 22.43 + 22.85) / 16

= 20.74

c )

We can easily plot the data on number line from 17 to 24

d )

Maximum value of data set = 23.71 and minimum value is 18.04

mean is 20.76 , median is 20.61 and trimmed mean is 20.74

They are between maximum and minimum values of given data . Hence there is no outliers .
