X=21

If the triangle are similar then you can divide.
75 divided by 25 is 3
72 divided by 21 is 3
so that means if you take 7 times 3 you will get 21

Allen is horrible at managing his money. For example, he

N76 [4]

Answer:

$80,000

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Define the variables</u>:

Let x = "fish-flavored" chicken company investment (in dollars)

Let y = spray-on vitamins company investment (in dollars)

If Allen invested a total of $100,000:

⇒ x + y = 100000

Given:

3% profit on "fish-flavored" chicken investment
1% profit on pray-on vitamins investment
Total profit = $2,600

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01y = 2600

Rewrite the first equation to make y the subject:

⇒ y = 100000 - x

Substitute into the second equation and solve for x:

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01(100000 - x) = 2600

⇒ 0.03x + 1000 - 0.01x = 2600

⇒ 0.02x + 1000 = 2600

⇒ 0.02x = 1600

⇒ x = 80000

Therefore, Allen invested $80,000 in the "fish-flavored" chicken company.

A sales person earns a commission based on the number and type of vehicle sold. A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns 4,800

AURORKA [14]

Assign variables to you unknowns.

c = $ cars
t = $ trucks

6c + 3t = 4800
8c + t = 4600

use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

using elimination.. multiply second equation by -3 and add to the other to combine equations into one.

6c + 3t = 4800
-3(8c + t = 4600)
---------------------------
-18c + 0 = -9000
c = 9000/18
c = 500 $

use this in one of the equations to find the cost of a truck.

8(500) + t = 4600
4000 + t = 4600
t = 4600 - 4000
t = 600 $

question asks
2(500) + 3(600) =
1000 + 1800 = 2800 $

The population of a town is 6500 and is increasing at a rate of 4% each year. Create a function for this scenario. At this rate,

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$P_4 = 7604.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population increases at a rate of 4% per annum, then:

In year 1:

$P_1 = P_0 + 0.04P_0$

Where $P_0$ is the initial population and $P_n$ is the population in year n

In year 2

$P_2 = P_1 + 0.04P_1$

It can also be written as:

$P_2 = P_0 + 0.04P_0 + 0.04 (P_0 + 0.04P_0)$

Taking out common factor $P_0$

$P_2 = (1 + 0.04) (P_0) + 0.04P_0 (1 + 0.04)$

Taking out common factor (1 + 0.04)

$P_2 = (1 + 0.04) (P_0 + 0.04P_0)$

Taking out again common factor $P_0$

$P_2 = (1 + 0.04) (1 + 0.04) P_0$

Simplifying

$P_2 = P_0 (1 + 0.04) ^ 2$

$P_n = P_0 (1 + 0.04) ^ n$

This is the equation that represents the population for year n

Then, in 4 years, the population will be:

$P_4 = P_0 (1 + 0.04) ^ 4\\P_4 = 6500(1 + 0.04) ^ 4\\P_4 = 7604.08$

Suppose that birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3466 grams and a standard deviation of 546 grams. Babies weig

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

3.84% probability that it has a low birth weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 3466, \sigma = 546$

If we randomly select a baby, what is the probability that it has a low birth weight?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2500. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{2500 - 3466}{546}$

$Z = -1.77$

$Z = -1.77$ has a pvalue of 0.0384

3.84% probability that it has a low birth weight
