Hector spent $33.20 at the post office. He bought 4 times as many 41-cent stamps as 2-cent stamps. How many of each did he buy?

1 answer:

3 0

Let x be the number of 2-cent stamps. We know that the 41-cents stamp are four times as many, so they are 4x. The total is thus worth

$0.02x + 0.41\cdot 4x = 33.20 \iff 0.02x + 1.64x = 33.20 \iff 1.66x = 33.20 \iff x = \dfrac{33.20}{1.66} = 20$

So, Hector bought 20 2-cents stamps, and 80 41-cents stamp.

Evaluate. 58−(14)2=58-142= ________

nasty-shy [4]

For this case we have the following expression:

$58- (14) ^ 2$

The first step is to solve the quadratic term.

We have then:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = 58-196$

Then, the second step is to subtract both resulting numbers:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = -138$

We observe that the result obtained is a negative number.

Answer:

The result of the expression is given by:

$58- (14) ^ 2 = -138$

9 out of 10 people at a game are rooting for the home team. What is the probability that exactly 6 of 8 people sitting together

scZoUnD [109]

A random supporter roots the home team with probability 0.9, and the away team with probability 0.1.

Choosing 6 out of 8 supporters who root for the home team has probability

$\displaystyle\binom{8}{6}\cdot 0.9^6\cdot 0.1^2 = 28\cdot0.531441\cdot 0.01=0.14$

atroni [7]

Answer:

C option: 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Yolanda wants to keep the pool in proportion to the model, the ratio of diameter to depth of model and the pool will be same.

Let the depth of pool is x feet.

Ratio of Diameter to Depth of Model = Ratio of Diameter to Depth of pool

This means the depth of pool should be 6 feet if Yolanda wants to keep the pool in proportion to the model.
