Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used. He has another gift card for $145 that loses

$3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used. Write an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal. Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Answer:

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used.

Therefore the equation =

$165 -$4 × x

= 165 - 4x.......... Equation 1

He has another gift card for $145 that loses $3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used.

$145 -$3.50 × x

= 145 - 3.50x........... Equation 2

Hence, an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is obtained by equating Equation 1 and Equation 2 together

So, we have

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

We simplify further:

165 - 145 = -3.50 + 4.0x

20 = 0.5x

x = 20/0.5

x = 40

Therefore, number of each 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is 40

A random sample of size 100 was taken from a population. A 94% confidence interval to estimate the mean of the population was co
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The z value was determined using a normal distribution table. From the normal distribution table, the corresponding z value for a 94% confidence interval is 1.88

The correct option is D

2) if 70% of all internet users experience e-mail fraud. It means that probability of success, p

p = 70/100 = 0.7

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

n = number of selected users = 50

Mean, u = np = 50×0.7 = 35

Standard deviation, u = √npq = √50×0.7×0.3 = 3.24

x = number of internet users

The formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

We want to determine the probability that no more than 25 were victims of e-mail fraud. It is expressed as

P(x lesser than or equal to 25)

The z value will be

z = (25- 35)/3.24 = - 10/3.24 = -3.09

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.001

P(x lesser than or equal to 25) = 0.001

Abe,a plumber, charges $50 per hour plus $75 for making an in-home visit. The Plumbing Service charges $65 per hour but no set f
Rasek [7]
Steps:

let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost

Abe:

50x + 75 = y

Plumbing Service:

65x=y

Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.

65x = 50x + 75

isolate for x:

65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5

therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.

An aquarium is expanding its touch tank exhibit and is going to double the dimensions of the original tank.
tigry1 [53]
If you double the dimensions of the tank, you also double the volume of the tank.
Therefore, volume of the new touch tank = 2000 x 2 = 4000 ft^3
