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.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

See the attached figure 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown at the attached figure 1.

given: The garden is a right triangle with base 10 m and height 15 m.

We need to draw the garden such that 1 unit on the grid represents 2 m.

So the scale factor is 1 unit = 2 m

base = 10 m = 10/2 = 5 units

height = 15 m = 15/2 = 7.5 units

So, the garden on the grid will be a right triangle with base 5 units  and height 7.5 units.

See the attached figure.

A freight carrier charges $0.57 for a package weighing up to one ounce plus and additional $0.32 for each additional ounce or fr
kherson [118]

We have to write an equation that uses this info so we can find the cost to ship that package. However, the package weight is given to us in grams and we need it in ounces. So first thing we are going to do is convert that 224 g to ounces. Use the fact that 1 g = .035274 ounces to convert. 224g*\frac{.035274oz}{1g}. Do the multiplication and cancel out the label of grams and we have 7.901376 ounces. Ok. We know that it costs .57 to mail the package for the first ounce. We have almost 8 ounces. So no matter what, we are paying .57. For each additional ounce we are paying .32. The number of .32's we have to spend depends upon how much the package goes over the first ounce. For the first ounce we pay .57, then for the remaining 6.901376 ounces we pay .32 per ounce. Our equation looks like this: C(x) = .32(6.901376) + .57 and we need to solve for the cost, C(x). Doing the multiplication we find that it would cost $2.78 to ship that package.

A quality control technician works in a factory that produces computer monitors. Each day, she randomly selects monitors and tes
jeka94

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 300

p = 5% = 0.05

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of dead pixels , x = 24

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.05\\H_A: p > 0.05

This is a one-tailed(right) test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{24}{300} = 0.08

z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.08-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}} = 2.384

Now, we calculate the p-value from excel.

P-value = 0.00856

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at
sergij07 [2.7K]
Number of stocks held = 30
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company bought = 20 1/4
                                                                                                 = (81/4) dollars
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company sold = 25 1/4
                                                                                             = (101/4) dollars
Amount of profit made per share of Lofty Cheese Company = [(101/4 - (81/4)] dollars
                                                                                                 = (20/4) dollars
                                                                                                 = 5 dollars
Amount of profit made for 30 shares of Lofty Cheese Company = (30 * 5) dollars
                                                                                                       = 150 dollars.
So you will make a profit of $150.The correct option in regards to the question given is option "C".
