The questions are asking about unit prices (price per 1 unit of thing)

we want to find out which is the better deal

we want to find out which price/1item is least (you want to pay as little as possible per item)

so to solve each problem, divide price by number of things to get the unit price (price per unit)


1) $25.00 for concert tickets for 2 people or $36.00 for concert tickets for 3 people.

$25 for 2 people is $25/2=$12.50/person

vs

$36 for 3 people is $36/3=$12.00/person

12<12.5 so better value is the $36 for 3 people


2) $380 for a bus for 32 people or $420 for a bus for 38 people.

$380 for 32 people is $380/32=$11.875/person

vs

$420 for 38 people is $420/38=$11.05/person

11.05<11.875

$420 for 38 people is better value


3) $4.25 for 4 liters of milk or $2.55 for 2 liters of milk.

$4.25 for 4 lieter is $4.25/4=$1.06/liter

vs

$2.55 for 2 lieter is $2.55/2=$1.27/liter

1.06<1.27 so $4.25 for 4 liter is better value


4) 35 grams of mixed nuts for $0.99 or 59 grams of mixed nuts for $1.49

$0.99 for 35 grams is $0.99/35=$0.02828/gram

vs

$1.49 for 59 grams is $1.49/59=$0.02525/gram

0.02525<0.02828 so $1.49 for 59 grams is better value


5) inline skate rentals for fat $30.00 for 4 hours or $54.00 for 7 hours.

$30 for 4hrs is $30/4=$7.50/hr

vs

$54 for 7hrs is $54/7=$7.71/hr

7.50<7.71 so $30 for 4hr is better value


6) 500 sheets of paper for $9.45 or 4500 sheets of paper for $49.00

$9.45 for 500 sheets is $9.45/500=$0.0189/sheet

vs

$49.00 for 4500 sheets is $49.00/4500=$0.0108/sheet

0.0108<0.0189 so $49.00 for 4500 is better value


7) 25 liters of gas for $21.50 or 35 liters of gas for $40.00

$21.50 for 25 liters is $21.50/25=$0.86/liter

vs

$40 for 35 liters is $40/35=$1.41/liter

0.86<1.41 so $21.50 for 25 liters is better value

What is the correlation coefficient for the data shown in the table?
Leviafan [203]

we know that

<u>The correlation coefficient</u> is a number between -1 and +1 that represent the linear dependence of two variables or sets of data

Using the function CORREL in a excel tool, calculate the correlation coefficient (r)

see the attached table

the correlation coefficient for the data in the table is equal to 1

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

r=1

A dormitory has 40 students---12 sophomores, 8 juniors, and 20 seniors. Which of the following is equal to the number of ways to
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The number of ways is equal to 12!8!20!

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplication principle states that If a first experiment can happen in n1 ways, then a second experiment can happen in n2 ways ... and finally a i-experiment can happen in ni ways therefore the total ways in which the whole experiment can occur are

n1 x n2 x ... x ni

Also, given n-elements in which we want to put them in a row, the total ways to do this are n! that is n-factorial.

For example : We want to put 4 different objects in a row.

The total ways to do this are 4!=4.3.2.1=24 ways.

Using the multiplication principle and the n-factorial number :

The number of ways to put all 40 in a row for a picture, with all 12 sophomores on the left,all 8 juniors in the middle, and all 20 seniors on the right are : The total ways to put all 12 sophomores in a row multiply by the ways to put the 8 juniors in a row and finally multiply by the total ways to put all 20 senior in a row ⇒ 12!8!20!

The total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price. If the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60 ,
pav-90 [236]
Let the total cost of the item be represented by C and the price be represented by P, then given that t<span>he total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price, thus</span>

C\propto P \\  \\ \Rightarrow C=kP

where k is a constant.

Given that <span>the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60, thus

33.60=32k \\  \\ \Rightarrow k= \frac{33.60}{32} =1.05

Therefore, the total cost on a $55 item is given by

C=1.05\times55=\$57.75</span>

Kate deposits $800 in a bank
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

I=P\cdot r\cdot t,

where

I = interest

P = rpincipal

r = rate (as decimal)

t = time (in years)

In your case,

P = $800

r = 0.04 (4%)

t = 5,

so

I=\$800\cdot 0.04\cdot 5\\ \\I=\$160
