Answer:
sedan = 26 miles/gallon
truck = 17 miles/gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
try to write the text in mathematical format as a system of equations
t=truck s=sedan
first equation can be written as
t= (181-5s)/3
we can use it in the second equation and rewrite it as
7[(181-5s)/3]+6s = 275
7(181/3 -5/3s) + 6s = 275
1267/3 - 35/3s + 6s = 275
-35/3s + 18/3s = 275-1267/3
-35/3s + 18/3s = 825/3 - 1267/3
-35s + 18s = 825 -1267
-17s = -442 s = 442/17 = 26 sedan has an average of 26 miles/gallon
we use this value of s in the first equation
3t + 5*26=181 3t=181-130 t= 51/3 = 17 truck has an average of 17 miles/gallon
Given:
Original price = 20
reduces selling price by 25% every month it's not sold.
First markdown month:
20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15
Second markdown month
15 * 75% = 11.25
Macy, employee gets a 50% discount off the current price.
11.25 * 50% = 5.625
11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or 5.63
The pre-tax price of the shirt for Macy will be $5.63

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation using the formula for the area of a triangle.
Hint #22 / 3
\begin{aligned} \text{Area of a triangle} &= \dfrac12 \cdot \text{base} \cdot \text{height}\\\\ 12&= \dfrac12 \cdot 6 \cdot x \\\\ 12&= 3x \\\\ \dfrac{12}{\blueD{3}}&= \dfrac{3x}{\blueD{3}} ~~~~~~~\text{divide both sides by } {\blueD{ 3}}\\\\ \dfrac{12}{\blueD{3}}&= \dfrac{\cancel{3}x}{\blueD{\cancel{3}}}\\\\ x &=\dfrac{12}{\blueD{3}}\\\\ x &=4\end{aligned}

Answer:
Her proximate APR is 5.1%
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the APR is 
× 
× 100%, where
- FC is the finance charge
- A is the amount financed
- m is the number of months
∵ Whitney bought a watch for $107.5
∴ A = 107.5
∵ The finance charge was $11
∴ FC = 11
∵ She paid for it over 6 months
∴ m = 6
- Substitute these values in the formula above
∵ 
× 
× 100%
∴ APR = 5.11627907%
- Round it to the nearest tenth
∴ APR = 5.1%
Her proximate APR is 5.1%
Find the z-scores for the two scores in the given interval.
For the score x =391,
.
For the score x = 486,
Now you want the area (proportion of data) under the normal distribution from z = -1 to z = 0. The Empirical Rule says that 68% of the data falls between z = -1 to z = 1. But the curve is symmetrical around the vertical axis at z = 0, so the answer you want is HALF of 68%.
