Answer:

  • No, different

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Last year</h3>

Bought 40 sets

Sold 25 sets

  • Error = 25 - 40 = -15
  • Absolute error = | - 15| = 15
  • Percent error =  15/40*100% = 37.5%
<h3>This year</h3>

Bought 75 sets

Sold 60 sets

  • Error = 60 - 75 = -15
  • Absolute error = |-15| = 15
  • Percent error = 15/75*100% = 20%

We can see absolute errors are same but percent errors are different.

The reason is the referenced numbers are different.

<h3>Answer: Cam is 11.6 meters below the surface of the water</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below.

Draw a vertical number line with 0 at the center. The positive values are above it, while the negative values are below it.

Between -15 and -16, closer to -16, plot the value -15.8 to indicate Ben's position. I have done so as the point B.

We move 4.2 units up to arrive at Cam's position

-15.8 + 4.2 = -11.6

So Cam is 11.6 meters below the surface of the water.

Find the equation of the surface. the bottom hemisphere of a sphere centered at (8, -7, 0) with radius 10.
Romashka [77]
The equation of the sphere is
.. (x -8)^2 +(y +7)^2 +z^2 = 10^2

Then the bottom hemisphere has the equation
.. z = -√(100 -(x -8)^2 -(y +7)^2)

First 100 units = 24p per unit Remaining units = 16p per unit Mrs. Watt checks her electricity bill. Here are her meter readings
Talja [164]

Answer: a) 146 units used b) the cost of the number of units used is 3136 p.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

First 100 units = 24 p per unit

Remaining units = 16 p per unit

New reading = 7143 units

Old reading = 6997 units

Difference between the readings would be

7143-6997\\\\=146

So, there are 146 units used.

(B) Calculate the cost of the number of units used

There are 146 units

For the first 100 units = 24 p per unit

For the remaining i.e. 146-1400 = 46 units , cost =  16 p per unit

Total cost of the number of units used is given by

24\times 100+46\times 16\\\\=2400+736\\\\=3136\ p

Hence, a) 146 units used b) the cost of the number of units used is 3136 p.
