Answer:

<u>The percentage loss per gallon is 23.17%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price per gallon = $ 2.59

Discounted price per gallon = $ 1.99

Now, let's calculate the percentage loss per gallon, using the Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Price      Percentage

2.59           100

1.99               x

*****************************

2.59 * x = 1.99 * 100

2.59x = 199

x = 199/2.59

x = 76.83

Percentage loss = 100 - 76.83

<u>Percentage loss = 23.17%</u>

A regular octagon has an apothem measuring 10 in. and a perimeter of 66.3 in. What is the area of the octagon, rounded to the ne
Lerok [7]

Answer:

332in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular polygon is calculated using the formula;

Area=\frac{1}{2}ap

where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter.

It was given that, the apothem is, a=10in. and the perimeter is p=66.3 in.

We substitute into the formula to obtain;

Area=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times66.3in^2

Area=331.5in^2

To the nearest square inch, we have;

Area=332in^2

Ivanna is playing a game in which she spins a spinner with 6 equal-sized slices numbered 1 through 6. The spinner stops on a num
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The spinner has 6 equal-sized slices, so each slice has a 1/6 probability of showing up.

I guess that we want to find the expected value in one spin:

number 1: wins $1

number 2: wins $3

number 3: wins $5

number 4: wins $7

number 5: losses $8

number 6: loses $8

The expected value can be calculated as:

Ev = ∑xₙpₙ

where xₙ is the event and pₙ is the probability.

We know that the probability for all the events is 1/6, so we have:

Ev = ($1 + $3 + $5 + $7 - $8 - $8)*(1/6) = $0

So the expected value of this game is $0, wich implies that is a fair game.

Make x the subject of the following relations. 2y+3=5x-18​
nekit [7.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+3=5x-18

swap both sides

5x-18=2y+3

add 18 to both sides

5x-18+18=2y+3+18

5x=2y+21

divide both sides by

5x/5=2y+21/5

X=2y+21/5
