Answer:

Altogether Gavin and Jim won £95.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Ratio of money won by Gavin and Jim = 5:2

Gavin gets £39 more than Jim.

Let x be the amount of money Won by Jim.

Then, money won by Gavin =

=(x+39)

Thus, we can write the equation:

\dfrac{\text{Gavin}}{\text{Jim}} = \dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{x+39}{x}

Solving, we get,

\dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{x+39}{x}\\\\5x = 2x + 78\\\Rightarrow 3x = 78\\\Rightarrow x = 26\\\Rightarrow (x+39) = 65

Thus, Gavin won £65 and Jim won £26.

Money won altogether =

=65 + 26\\=95

Thus, altogether Gavin and Jim won £95.

The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( 8  2 ) / ( 3 - 2 ) = 6 / 1 
m = 6  ( we have the same slope for AB and A`B` )
AB = √[( 3 - 2 )² + ( 8 - 2 )²] = √37

I would like to purchase 20 products at a cost of $65 per product. What would be my total with 3.5 sales tax
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Answer:

The total is: $ 1345.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

I would like to purchase 20 products at a cost 65.00 per product.

This means that the cost of 20 products will be:

Also, there is a sales tax of 3.5%

This means that a person has to pay a extra 3.5% on the total cost of the items he purchased.

i.e. he need to pay 3/5% on $ 1300

This means that the amount of tax he need to pay is: 3.5% of 1300

                                                                             =  3.5%×1300

                                                                            = 0.035×1300

                                                                           = $ 45.5.

Hence, the total cost is: $ 1300+$ 45.5

This means that the total cost is: $ 134.5

a school district requires all graduating seniors to take a mathematics test. This year, the rest scores were approximately norm
Klio2033 [76]
A score of 85 would be 1 standard deviation from the mean, 74.  Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that 68% of normally distributed data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.  This means that 100%-68% = 32% of the data is either higher or lower.  32/2 = 16% of the data will be higher than 1 standard deviation from the mean and 16% of the data will be lower than 1 standard deviation from the mean.  This means that 16% of the graduating seniors should have a score above 85%.
