Answer:

Original salary = $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Tricia got a 6% raise on her weekly salary. The raise was $30 per week.

Let x be the original salary

x times the raise percentage = raise amount

6%= 6/100=0.06, raise amount = 30

$x*0.06= 30$

Now we solve for x

Divide by 0.06 on both sides

$x=500$

Original salary = $500

Janet makes 67% of free throws in her basketball games. Her coach wants to know the probability that she will make 7 out of the

8_murik_8 [283]

The probability that Janet makes a free throw is given by:
P(f)=0.67
The simulation that will be used to design the possibility of her making 7 out of 8 free throws will be:

D) Roll a die letting 1-4 represent Janet making a free throw and 5-6 represent Janet not falling. Roll the die eight times.
This is is because the probability of obtaining 1,2,3 or 4 from rolling a dice is
4/6=0.67

A baseball has a 45 cm diameter. what is the volume of the contents of the ball

Dvinal [7]

The volume of a sphere is found from the equation V=4/3πr
r is the radius.
If the radius is 45 cm and pi is about 3.14, you can rewrite and equation as V=4/3(3.14)(45)
Then just solve by multiplying all the terms!
4/3(3.14) = 4.19
4.19(45) = 188.55
So the volume of the ball is 188.55 cm cubed.
