1 answer:

5 0

Firstly, do not try to revive the boat engine, it will make mud to enter the engine and clog it up. Drop the sail and try and find out where the deep water lay, so that you will not allow the boat to go that way. Determine the current tide of the water, kedge the boat and try to ease it out of the water in the direction of the tide. If all these fail, call the towing service.

From 1994 to 1995 the sales of a book decreased by 80%. If the sales in 1996 for the same as in 1994, By what percent did the in

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

400%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sales be "100" in 1994

Since, it decreased 80%, the sales was:

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80 (decreased by 80)

So, it was

Sales in 1995: 100 - 80 = 20

Sales in 1996 was same as in 1994, so that's 100

Thus,

Sales in 1994: 100

Sales in 1995: 20

Sales in 1996: 100

We need to find percentage increase form 1995 to 1996, that is what percentage increase is from 20 to 100?

We will use the formula:

$\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100$

Where

New is 100

Old is 20

SO, we have:

$\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\=\frac{100-20}{20}*100\\=4*100\\=400$

So, it increased by 400%

You and your neighbor attempt to use your cordless phones at the same time. Your phones independently select one of ten channels

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1/100.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we can make the following deductions from the information given in the question or problem above.

[1]. "You and your neighbor attempt to use your cordless phones at the same time."

DEDUCTION: Two people are involved, that is you and your neighbor are both involved.

[2]. "Your phones independently select one of ten channels at random to connect to the base unit. "

DEDUCTION: Both cordless phones can choose one channels each which is random. The number of channels available is ten.

Therefore, the probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel can be calculated or determined as follows:

The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = probability that both your phone will pick one channel out of the ten channels × the probability that your neighbor phone pick one channel out of the ten channels.

The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = 1/10 × 1/10 = 1/100.

Therefore, The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = 1/100.
