This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.
616-560 = $56 increase
Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)
We voice it like this:
56 is to 560 as x is to 100.
The equation looks like this:
56/560 - x/100
Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.
56 x 100 = 560 x
5600 = 560 x
x = 10 percent.
Check it!
What is 10 percent of 560?
560 x .1 = $56
Was that your increase? ... yes.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are interested in calculating the z-score of a company employee.
Mathematically;
z-score = (x- mean)/SD
where in this case;
x is the value given which turns out to be the annual salary of the employee = 28,000
Mean = 34,000
standard deviation = 4,000
Plugging these values into the equation above, we have;
z-score = (28000-34000)/4000 = -6000/4000 = -1.5
Answer:
x=\frac{2y-3}{y}

Answer with explanation:</h2>
A. For males, Third quartile =14, First quartile = 3 (approx)
IQR = Third quartile - First quartile
= 14-3 = 11
B. For males, Median = 12
For females, Median = 17
The difference between the median values = 17-12=5
C. The mean would be a better measure of center for females because the data has no outliers.
The median would be a better measure of center for males because the data has outliers.
D. Reason for outlier: A large number of males gone for movie which is extreme value for the remaining values.
Answer:
His gain percent would have been 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to answering this question is to first calculate the price at which the wheat flour was bought.
Mathematically;
% profit = (selling price-cost price)/cost price * 100%
Let the cost price be $x
Thus;
% profit = (30-x)/x * 100
20 = 100(30-x)/x
20x = 3000-100x
100x + 20x = 3000
120x = 3000
x = 3000/120
x = Rs 25
So let’s assume he sold at Rs 27
His profit would have been 27-25 = 2
His gain or loss percentage would’ve been;
2/25 * 100/1 = 200/25 = 8% (gain, since selling price is greater than the cost price)
