How you get the answer is adding all of the percents together. (100-10=90-12=79.2-23=56.2-5=51.2)

So if there were 100 applicants let’s say, 10% of 100 is 90 so 10 applicants did not meet the business requirements leaving 90. Then about 11 (10.8 exactly) people did not pass the pre-screening assessment. Leaving 79 people, 23% of the 79 people actually didn’t show up for the interview, and 23% of 79 is around 18 and 79-18= 61. Then 5% of the 61 did not pass the background investigation, which is 4 (3.5) 61-4=57, so 57 applicants were left. The company only needs 30 people to hire so automatically you know 100 applicants who applied for the job is too many, use the numbers I gave you and use the same concept to find the exact answer.

Answer: There are approximately 17 applicants who need to apply in order to meet the hiring target .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of employees need to hire = 30

Percentage of applicants do not meet the basic business requirements for the    job = 10%

So, Remaining applicants will be 90% of 30 employees,

\frac{90}{100}\times 30=27

Now, Percentage of remaining applicants do not pass the pre-screening assessment = 12%

So, Remaining applicant will be 88% of 27,

\frac{88}{100}\times 27=23.76

Now,

Percentage of remaining applicants do not show up for the interview = 23%

So, Remaining applicants will be 77% of 23.76,

\frac{77}{100}\times 23.76=18.29

Percentage of applicants fail the background investigation = 5%

So, Remaining applicants will be 95% of 18.29,

\frac{95}{100}\times 18.29=17.38

Hence, there are approximately 17 applicants who need to apply in order to meet the hiring target .

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:
Reil [10]
First add 2 to both sides, next add 2 + 3 to get 5, next break down the equation into two problems which would be 2x - 5 = 5 and -(2x - 5) = 5, NOT 2x - 5 = -5, so this is the FIRST incorrect step, while step 4 is incorrect because its suppose to be 2x = 5 not 10, that's the second step, not first so answer is:

Answer: A) Step 3.

What is 15 tens - 1 gross ​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A gross is equal to 120 ones or ten dozen

what is 15 tens - 1 gross

we know that

15 tens means ----> That you are adding 10, 15 times or multiplying 10 by 15, which gives you

10(15)=150

1 gross means ---> That you are adding 10, 12 times or multiplying 10 by 12

which gives you

10(12)=120

so

The algebraic expression of 15 tens - 1 gross is equal to

150-120=30

Convert to word expression

3  tens

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p
laila [671]

Answer:

5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

The maximum yield would be 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original number of trees per acre = 20,

Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,

Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,

So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x

∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,

So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)

Thus, the total yield per acre,

Y(x) = (20+x)(60-2x)

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

Y'(x) = (20+x)(-2) + 60 - 2x = -40 - 2x + 60 - 2x = 20 - 4x

Again differentiating with respect to t,

Y''(x) = -4

For maxima or minima,

Y'(x) = 0

⇒ 20 - 4x = 0

⇒ 20 = 4x

⇒ x = 5,

For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,

Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,

And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,

i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds

In △XYZ, m∠Z = 34, x = 61 cm, and z = 42 cm. Find m∠X. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Elza [17]
M∠X = 54.3°.

Using the Law of Sines, we have:
\frac{\sin{Z}}{z}=\frac{\sin{X}}{x}
\\
\\\frac{\sin{34}}{42}=\frac{\sin{X}}{61}

Cross multiplying gives us
61(sin 34) = 42(sin X)

Divide both sides by 42:
(61(sin 34))/42 = (42(sin X))/42
(61(sin 34))/42 = sin X

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((61(sin 34))/42) = sin⁻¹(sin X)
54.3 = X

Food allergies affect an estimated 7% of children under age 5 in the US. What is the probability that in a kindergarden class of
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies ≈ 0.58 ( approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Probability of a children under age 5 has food allergies = 7%

                                                                                                        =\frac{7}{100}

To find : Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies

Probability of a chindren under age 5 does not have food allergies = 1-\frac{7}{100}

                  ⇒ prob = \frac{93}{100}

now we find Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies this means we have to find prob of 1 student, 2 student, 3 student, till 12 student have allergy out of 12 student of class then add all prob.

But instead of finding all these probability we find probability of student having no allergy.i.e., 0 student then subtract it from 1(total probability)

Probability of 0 student having allergy out of 12 student = (\frac{93}{100})^{12}

Therefore, Probability of atleast one of 12 student has food allergies

                  = 1-(\frac{93}{100})^{12}

                  = 0.581403702521

                  ≈ 0.58 ( approx)
