Answer:

$120.14

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is an example of a compound percentage decrease.

To work this out you would first need to convert the percentage of 25 into a decimal. You can do this by dividing the percentage of 25 by 100, this gives you 0.25. This is because percentages are out of 100.

The next step is to minus 0.25 from 1, this gives you 0.75. This is because we are working out the percentage decrease.

The final step is to multiply the amount of 900 by 0.75 to the power of 7, this gives you $120.14.

1) Divide 25 by 100.

25/100=0.25

2) Minus 0.25 from 1.

1-025=0.75

3) Multiply 900 by 0.75 to the power of 7.

900*0.75^7=120.14

An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles. 1. One person takes two marbles at random from the urn and does not replace th
Strike441 [17]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles.

Total marbles = 2+3=5

a) The general ways in which the person could get a red marble and a blue marble are :

1)  He draws red marble first and then second marble as blue.

2)  He draws blue marble first marble and then second marble as red.

b)  The number of ways to get one red and one blue marble is given by :-

^2C_1\times^3C_1=2\times3=6                          (i)

c) Number of ways to get 2 marbles from 5 is given by :-

^5C_2=\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=\dfrac{5\times4\times3!}{3!\times2}=10     (ii)

Now, The probability the person gets a red and a blue marble will be :-

P(R\ \&B)=\dfrac{6}{10}=0.6       [Divide (i) by (ii)]

Hence, the  probability the person gets a red and a blue marble= 0.6

Complete the similarity statement for the two triangles shown. Enter your answer in the box. △XBR∼△ Two similar triangles B R X
Andreyy89

Answer:  

Here, BRX and NJY are two triangles in which,

BR = 30 cm, RX = 40 cm, BX = 60 cm, NJ = 15 cm, JY = 20 cm and NY = 30 cm,

Also, m∠B = m∠N, m∠R = m∠J and m∠X = m∠Y,

By the property of congruence,

\angle B \cong \angle N, \angle R \cong \angle J and \angle X \cong \angle Y

Thus, By AAA similarity postulate,

\triangle BRX\sim \triangle NJY

Hence, proved.

replace each star with a digit to make the problem true.Is there only one answer to each problem? ****-***=2
Semenov [28]

Answer: We have two solutions:

1000 - 998 = 2

1001 - 999 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the problem:

****-*** = 2

where each star is a different digit, so in this case, we have a 4 digit number minus a 3 digit number, and the difference is 2.

we know that if we have a number like 99*, we can add a number between 1 and 9 and we will have a 4-digit as a result:

So we could write this as:

1000 - 998 = 2

now, if we add one to each number, the difference will be the same, and the number of digits in each number will remain equal:

1000 - 998 + 1 - 1 = 2

(1000 + 1) - (998 + 1) = 2

1001 - 999 = 2

now, there is a trivial case where we can find other solutions where the digits can be zero, like:

0004 - 0002 = 2

But this is trivial, so we can ignore this case.

Then we have two different solutions.
