Each number could be the probability of an event

Step-by-step explanation:

In words, this means that the probability of an event must be a number between 0 and 1 (inclusive). In words: The probability of an impossible event is 0. In words: The probability of an absolutely certain event is 1.

All positive or all whole numbers can be probabilities.
Numbers greater than one can be probabilities while numbers less than one cannot.
States that anything that can be turned into a percent can represent a probability.
Only probabilities related to a six-sided number cube will work.

The odds of an event is the ratio of the probability of an event to the probability of its complement. In other words, it is the ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes. We say the odds are "3 to 2," which means 3 favorable outcomes to every 2 unfavorable outcomes, and we write 3 : 2.

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes. This will give us the probability of a single event occurring. In the case of rolling a 3 on a die, the number of events is 1 (there's only a single 3 on each die), and the number of outcomes is 6.

Suppose KLMN ~ PQRS. Find the value of x.

arlik [135]

Complete question is attached.

Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, KLMN ~ PQRS. This means they are similar shapes.

From the image, we could denote that:

KL ~ PQ

LM ~ QR

Given that:

KL = 12

PQ = 30

QR = 20

LM = x

To find x, let's use tge expression:

$\frac{KL}{PQ} = \frac{LM}{QR}$

$= \frac{12}{30} = \frac{x}{20}$

Cross multiplying, we have:

12 * 20 = 30x

240 = 30x

To find x, let's divide both sides by 30.

$\frac{240}{30} = \frac{30x}{30}$

8 = x

x = 8

The correct option is option B.

The Bridal Shop bought a dress from a supplier for $105 wholesale and applied a 65% markup to the price. If a 7.5% sales tax wer

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 149.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part = Percent • Whole

Adding a 65% markup to the original price of 105 is simply multiplying the price by the decimal form of the markup, then adding that to the original price. Next, you would find 20% of your sum by multiplying the sum by 0.20. Then you would find 7.5% of that and add this to the price.

Solve:

105 • 0.65 = 68.25 Find 65% of 105

105 + 68.25 = 173.25 Add the markup to the price

173.25 • 0.20 = 34.65 Find the discount of the new price

173.25 - 34.65 = 138.60 Subtract discount from price

138.60 • 0.075 = 10.395 Find sales tax of new price (Or round to 10.40)

138.60 + 10.395 = 148.995 Add sales tax to new price (Or 149)

Because money only goes to the hundredths place, we can either start rounding to that place in the second to last step - rounding 10.395 to 10.40 - or we can round our answer - 148.995 rounds to 149. Either way, we will still get an answer of $149.00.

Hope this helps.
