Answer:

$787.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the bicycle be $x.

If the original price was first discounted by 50% and then discounted an additional 10%, the total percentage discount will be 60%.

Using the formula

S = p(1-r) where

S is the sales price of the bicycle

p is the original price of the bicycle

r is the percentage discount

Given sales price = $315

Total percentage discount = 60% = 0.6

Substituting this in the formula above we have:

$315 = p(1-0.6)

$315 = 0.4p

P = $315/0.4

P = $787.5

The original price of the bicycle = $787.5

This means that the bicycle was discounted in total by 60%, so $315 is 40% of the original price to get 40% to 100% youd multiply it by 2.5 so so the same to the price 315 x 2.5= 787.5

Ari mixed 2 1/4 cups of red grapes with 1/2 cups of green grapes. He then divided the grapes into bags with 3/4 cup of mixed gra
Oxana [17]

To start, our equation will look like this:

(2 1/4 + 1/2)/ 3/4 = b

To make it easier convert the 2 numbers inside the parentheses into improper fractions, and then multiply them by their least common denominator to add.

(9/4 + 1/2)

(18/8 + 4/8)

(22/8)/ 3/4 = b

Now, to divide 22/8 cups of grapes into bags with 3/4 cup of grapes, multiply 22/8 by 4/3.

(22/8)(4/3)=b

3 2/3 = b

So, if Ari has a bag with 2 1/4 cups of red grapes and 1/2 cup of green grapes, and he divides it into bags with 3/4 cup each, he will have about 3 full bags.

A salesperson receives step commission on sales calculated as follows:
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

$2278.846

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following commision steps :

8% on first $1000;

12% next $2000;

20% on sales above $3000

Recorded sales for a week :

Monday $1500.00

Tuesday $3000.00

Wednesday $ 970.00

Thursday $4563.81

Friday $2760.42

This assu es that commision is calculated after weekly sales:

Total:

(1500 + 3000 + 970 + 4563.81 + 2760.42)

= $12794.23

8% on first $1000

0.08 × $1000 = $80

12% of $2000 = $240

20% of $(12794.23 - 3000)

= 0.2 × 9794.23

= 1958.846

Total commision for the week :

$(80 + 240 + 1958.846)

= $2278.846

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option A , should not be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample 1 n=25

Standard deviation 1 \sigma_1=30

Sample 2 n=16

Standard deviation 2 \sigma_2=20

Level of  confidence \alpha=95\%=>0.95

Generally The Hypothesis are given as

 H_0:\sigma_1^2=\sigma_1^2

 H_1:\sigma_1^2\neq \sigma_1^2

Generally the equation for test Statistics is mathematically given by

 T=\frac{\sigma_1^2}{\sigma_2^2}

 T=\frac{30^2}{20^2}

 T=2.25

Therefore

Critical Value

 X=(\alpha,df_1)

 X'=(\alpha,df_2)

Where

 df=n-1

Therefore

 X=(0.95,24)

 X'=(0.95,15)

From Table

 T_{Critical}=T_x,T_{x'}

 T_{Critical}=0.41,2.701

Therefore

 T_x

Hence,We fail to reject the Null Hypothesis H_0

Option A , should not be rejected
