Answer: $45.90

No Jeremy can not find the cost of the sneakers by adding the percents, you have to the math one sale discount at a time.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply $60 by 15%, getting $9. Subtract 9 from 60 and get the first discount price: $51. Then you will multiply 51 by `10% and get 5.1, subtract 5.1 from 51 and get your final sale price $45.90. If you added the percents together you would get an incorrect value of $45.

muminat

When looking at probabilities, two ideas are always true.

1) Any probability is more than 0.

2) The sum of all the probabilites is 1.

Idea #2 works here. (For example, think of how a die has six things and the probability of each is 1/6. So 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1.) Let G = the probability of grape, C = probability of cherry and O = the probability of orange. From Idea #2, G + C + O = 1. Since we know G and C, then

3/10 + 1/5 + O = 1.

3/10 + 2/10 + O = 1

5/10 + O = 1

O = 5/10

Thus, the probability of an orange jelly bean is 5/10 = 1/2.

A car company sells a scale model to of the size of one of its cars.
mixer [17]

Answer:

w = 13500 --- real windscreen

v = 408 --- scale volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

k = \frac{1}{10} --- scale factor

See attachment

Required

Complete the table

To get the windscreen (w) of the real car, we do the following computation

w = \frac{w_{scale}}{k^2}

This gives:

w = \frac{135}{(1/10)^2}

w = \frac{135}{1/100}

w = 13500

Next, the volume (v) of the scale mode

We make use of the following computation

v = v_{real} * k^3

So, we have:

v = 408000 * (1/10)^3

v = 408000 * 1/1000

v = 408
