Answer:
A. 1.2x = 78
B. x = 65
Step-by-step explanation:
Just informally, first:
x is the number that we don't know. 120% of that number is a number BIGGER than that number. 120% of x is 78. So 78 is BIGGER than the number that we don't know.
120% of x = 78
Change 120% to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. Multiply.
1.2x = 78
To solve, divide both sides by 1.2
x = 78/1.2
x = 65
There are two of them.
I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.
One can be found by trial and error:
x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
<em>x=4</em> . . . . . 2^4 = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . 4(4) = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . Yes ! That works ! yay !
For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.
The point is near, but not exactly, <em>x = 0.30990693...
</em>If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks.<em> </em> If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.<em>

Answer:
C. The distribution for town A is positively skewed, but the distribution for town B is symmetric.
Hope it helps you out!
A would be correct!!!
Glad I could help(:
Can you me with my two questions I recently post?
Answer:
Plain is $7 and Holiday is $15
Step-by-step explanation:
Castel: 2p + 5h = 89
Kali: 9p + 10h = 213
Double Castel's: 4p + 10h = 178
Subtract fro Kali's 9p + 10h = 213
- 4p + 10h = 178
5p = 35
p = 7 Plain is $7
Substitute 7 into one of the equations and solve for h:
2(7) + 5h = 89
14 + 5h = 89
5h = 75
h = 15 Holiday is $15
