Let X be the original price. 
Do a 40% increase we get the price: X+0.4X=1.4X
Doing a 25% off we get the new price:
(1.4X)-0.25(1.4X)=1.05X 
                            =X+0.05X.
The new prices are 5% increase from the original price.

Daniel, my son, is exactly one fifth of my age. in 21 years time, i will be exactly twice his age. my wife is exactly seven time
nydimaria [60]
Let daniel's age = d and let jessica's age = j
let your current age = x and your wife's current age = y

x = 5d (given in question)
∴ x - 5d = 0

x + 21 = 2(d+21) (given in question)
∴ x + 21 = 2d + 42
∴ x - 2d = 21

We can solve these two rearranged equations simultaneously by multiplying the first equation by -1 and adding them. This gives us the following:

3d = 21
∴ d = 7

This means that daniel is currently 7 and (if we substitute d = 7 into one of the equations) you are 35. We use a similar method for your wife's and jessica's current ages.

y = 7j (given in question)
∴ y - 7j = 0

y + 8 = 3(j + 8)
∴y + 8 = 3j + 24
∴ y - 3j = 16

If we use a similar method of elimination we get this:

4j = 16
∴ j = 4

Hence, from this we can concur that daniel is 7 and jessica is 4.

∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left. Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form ∆A′B′C′. The c
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

If a point X(x, y) is translated a units right and b units down, the new location is X'(x + a, y + b) whereas if a point X(x, y) is translated a units left and b units up, the new location is X'(x - a, y - b).

If a point X(x, y) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is X'(y, -x)

From the image attached, ∆ABC is at A(0, 0), B(1,3) C(1, 1)

If ∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left (x - 1, y - 2), the vertices would be A*(-1, -2), B*(0, 1), C*(0, -1)

If it is then rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

A department store is having a sale of 20% off of kitchen appliances. What is the sale price for a 250 microwave
belka [17]
If there is a 20% discount of a 250$ microwave, then price will be 200$. That is because 20% of 250 is 50, so you subtract 50 from 250, and get your answer: 200$.
Hope I was able to help. If you need any more help, please let me know and I will assist you.

A local company makes snack-size bags of potato chips. Each day, the company produces batches of 400 snack-size bags using a pro
ioda

Answer:

Probability that a sample of 40 bags has an average weight of at least 2.02 ounces is 0.103.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the company produces batches of 400 snack-size bags using a process designed to fill each bag with an average of 2 ounces of potato chips. Assume the amount placed in each of the 400 bags is normally distributed and has a standard deviation of 0.1 ounce.

Also, sample of 40 bags are selected.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample average weight</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by ;

                Z = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean weight of potato chips = 2 ounces

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.1 ounces

            n = sample of bags = 40

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, the probability that a sample of 40 bags has an average weight of at least 2.02 ounces is given by = P(\bar X \geq 2.02 ounces)

   P(\bar X \geq 2.02) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \geq \frac{2.02-2}{\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z \geq 1.265) = 1 - P(Z < 1.265)

                                                      = 1 - 0.89707 = 0.103

<em>The above probability is calculated using z table by looking at value of x = 1.265 which will lie between x = 1.26 and x = 1.27 in the z table which have an area of 0.89707.</em>

<em />

Therefore, probability that a sample of 40 bags has an average weight of at least 2.02 ounces is 0.103.

A standard number cube has 6 sides labeled 1 to 6. apu rolls a standard number cube 30 times. How many times can
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The expected value of rolling a 5 or 6 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a standard number cube is:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6}

The cube is standard, this implies that each side has an equal probability of landing face-up.

So, the probability of all the six outcomes is same, i.e. \frac{1}{6}.

Now it is provided that Apu rolls the cube <em>n</em> = 30 times.

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the value on the face of cube.

The event of rolling a 5 and rolling a 6 are mutually exclusive, i.e. they cannot occur together.

So, P (X = 5 and X = 6) = 0.

Compute the probability of getting a 5 or 6 as follows:

P (X = 5 or X = 6) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) - P (X = 5 and X = 6)

                            = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6)

                            =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}

Compute the expected value of rolling a 5 or 6 as follows:

E(X = 5\ \text{or}\ X = 6)=n\times P(X = 5\ \text{or}\ X = 6)

                               =30\times \frac{1}{3}\\\\=10

Thus, the expected value of rolling a 5 or 6 is 10.
