If it is 30% off, then u r paying 70%

70% of 17 = 0.7(17) = 11.90 ...this is without tax

u have a tax rate of 6%.....

11.90 * 1.06 = 12.614 rounds to 12.61 <== total cost including tax

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu

Tresset [83]

we know that

$1 Kw=1000 w$

The company charges $13$ cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

$13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw$

Step $1$

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.9$

Cost=$ $0.117$

b) In a year

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$0.9*365=328.5\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*328.5$

Cost=$ $42.71$

Step $2$

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.18$

Cost=$ $0.0234$

b) In a year

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$0.18*365=65.7\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*65.7$

Cost=$ $8.54$

Step $3$

Find the difference in cost

$Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars$

therefore

the answer is

$34.17 dollars$

Merrill Lynch Securities and Health Care Retirement Inc. are two large employers in downtown Toledo, Ohio. They are considering

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would determine the mean an standard deviation first

Mean = (107 + 92 + 97 + 95 + 105 + 101 + 91 + 99 + 95 + 104)/10 = 98.6

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)/n

n = 10

Summation(x - mean) = (107 - 98.6)^2 + (92 - 98.6)^2 + (97 - 96.6)^2 + (95 - 98.6)^2 + (105 - 98.6)^2 + (101 - 98.6)^2 + (91 - 98.6)^2 + (99 - 98.6)^2 + (95 - 98.6)^2 + (104 - 98.6)^2 = 274

Standard deviation = √(274/10) = 5.23

The confidence interval is used to determine the range of values that could possibly contain a population parameter (population mean)

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Point estimate - margin of error, Point estimate + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

We will use the t distribution because the sample size is small and the population standard deviation is not given.

Degree of freedom, df = 10 - 1 = 9

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

z α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

The area to the right of z 0.005 is 0.005 and the area to the left of z0.005 is 1 - 0.005 = 0.995. Using the t distribution table,

z = 3.25

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard Deviation = 5.23

Margin of error = 3.25 × 5.23/√10 = 5.38

Confidence interval = sample mean(point estimate) ± z × σ/√n

The lower boundary of the confidence interval is

98.6 - 5.38 = 93.22

The upper boundary of the confidence interval is

98.6 + 5.38 = 103.98

We estimate with 99% confidence that the mean weekly child care cost of their employees is between $93.22 and $103.98

Also,

99% of the confidence intervals constructed in this way would contain the true value for the population mean of mean weekly child care cost of their employees.

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>
