Cynthia’s broker charges her a commission of $88 for every $1000 of stock bought or sold. Cynthia bought 2,000 shares of Ombor M

edical Supplies at $35.49 apiece. As the price rose and fell, she sold off part of her holdings. When the price rose to $48.57, she sold 600 shares. The price fell somewhat to $46.10, so she sold 1,150 of her shares. When the price climbed to $53.46, she sold off the remainder of her holdings. How much profit did Cynthia make in total?

Answer:

$9889.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Buying 2000 shares at $35.49 apiece costs Cynthia

2000(35.49) = 70,980.

Her broker also charges her $88 for every $1000 bought or sold; she has bought

70980/1000 = 70.98, which means she pays

70.98(88) = 6246.24.

This gives her a total of

-70980-6246.24 = -77226.24.

Selling 600 shares at $48.57 each earns her back

600(48.57) = 29142. However, she still has to pay her broker;

29142/1000 = 29.142(88) = 2564.496 ≈ 2564.50.

This gives her a total of

-77226.24+29142-2564.50 = -50648.74

Selling 1150 shares at $46.10 each earns her back

1150(46.10) = 53015. However, she must still pay her broker:

53015/1000 = 53.015(88) = 4665.32.

This gives her a total of

-50648.74+53015-4665.32 = -2299.06.

She now has 2000-(600+1150) = 2000-(1750) = 250 shares left. Selling these at $53.46 each gives her

250(53.46) = 13365. Paying her broker,

13365/1000 = 13.365(88) = 1176.12

She has a total of

-2299.06+13365-1176.12 = 9889.82.

As a promotion, the first 50 customers who entered a certain store at a mall were asked to choose from one of two discounts. The

qaws [65]

Answer:

A) Yes, because P (F∩S) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

50 customers of a store were asked to choose between two discounts:

Discount 1: 20% off all purchases for the day.

Discount 2: 10% off all purchases for the week.

28 choose discount 1

22 choose discount 2

F: the selected person choose discount 1.

S: the selected person choose discount 2.

Two events are mutually exclusive when the occurrence of one of them prevents the other from occurring in one repetition of the trial and the intersection between these two events is void with zero probability of happening.

In this case, since the customers were asked to choose one out of the two events, if the customer chooses the first one, then he couldn't have chosen the second one and vice-versa. Then the intersection between these two events has zero probability, symbolically:

P(F∩S)=0

I hope it helps!

An unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30{,}00030,00030, comma, 000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck

kari74 [83]

Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.

A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fishShe writes the following equation to show the length of

Doss [256]

Answer:

The given equation is:

f(m) = 3(1.09)^m

where 'f(m)' represents the length of the fish after 'm' months.

Domain is considered as a set of all values of input. In this question, the input is number of months. The input should starts at 0 which will show the initial height and then as the number 'm' increases, the value of f(m) also increases.

Thus, the domain can be defined as m ≥ 0

y-intercept occurs at m=0. It means the height of the fish after 0 months, which can also be considered as initial height.

Calculate the value of function for m=2 and m=8

For m=2, f(2) = 3.564

For m=8, f(8) = 5.978

Average rate of change = (5.978-3.564) / (8-2)

Average rate of change = 0.402

It means the fish grows about 0.402cm each month in between 2 to 8 months
