Question:
The quantities x and y are proportional.
x y
5.8 7.5
11.2
Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Find the constant of proportionality
The question has an incomplete table but it can still be solved because x and y are proportional.
Given that
y = rx
Make r the subject of formula
Divide through by x
y/x = rx
y/x = r
r = y/x
When y = 7.5, x = 5.8
Substitute these values
r = y/x becomes
r = 7.5/5.8
Multiply denominator and numerator by 10
r = (7.5 * 10)/(5.8 * 10)
r = 75/58
In this case, it's best to leave the answer in fraction.
However, it can be solved further.
r = 75/58
r = 1.29 (Approximated)
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
Find each probability separately and then multiply the two together
Probability for even number is 3/6 or 1/2 because their are 3 even numbers out of 6 numbers
Probability to get a black chip is 1 black chip out of 3 totals so 1/3
Multiply 1/3 by 1/2
Answer 1/6
Answer:
P(A) = p1
(1 − q1q2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A = player A wins,
then P(A) = p1 + (1 − p1)(1 − p2)P(A)
⇒ P(A) = p1
(1 − q1q2)
For this you use A=Pe^(rt)
A=furutre amount
P=present amount
e=natural base
r=rate in decimal
t=times in years
A=?
P=5000000
r=0.04
t=30
A=5,000,000e^(0.04*30)
A=5,000,000e^(1.2)
A=16600584.613683
The shelf should sell for $235.20.
Marking the price up by 60% means taking 160% of the cost:
160% = 160/100 = 1.6; 1.6(147) = 235.20
