a store advertises that customers can take 25%off the original price and then take an extra 10%off is this 35% of? explain

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: No, it is not 35% off... Let me explain.  Let's say the original price is $100 to make the math easy.  When you take 25% off then take an additional 10% off, the 10% is off of the discounted price, so

100 x 25% = 100 x .25 = 25 dollar discount
New price = $75

Now 10% off of $75
10% x 75 = .10 x 75 = $7.50 discount
New price = 75 - 7.50 = $67.50


Now, if you just took 35% off of $100

100 x 35% = 100 x .35 = $35 discount
New Price = 100 - 35 = $65

Bottom line... when you take an "extra" percentage off, you are taking a percentage of a smaller number, so the discount is not as big.

Vince tossed 3 coins at the same time. He did this 50 times and 8 of those times, all 3 coins showed the same result (all heads or all tails). What is the experimental probability that all 3 coins show the same result when tossed? Write your answer as a decimal.

Answers

Answer:

Hence experimental probability that all 3 coins show the same result when he tossed it for 50 times and 8 of those are of success is 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 coins are tossed at same time

No of trails are 50 and

success for trails are 8.

To Find:

Experimental probability for 3 coins that getting all heads or all tails.

Solution:

Now

When only 3 coins are tossed probability that getting all heads is  as follows:

Calculating the sample space of the event

Event is 3 coins are tossed at a time

So Sample space S={HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT}

n(S)=8

No of trails getting all heads is 1

So P(getting all heads )=1/8

Same of tail  i.e. 1/8

Adding both will be required probability for getting all heads or tails

here or ' operator so Addition

1/8+1/8=2/8

=1/4

1/4 is probability that the all heads or all tails when coins is tossed one time

but here it is about 50 times and probability if successs trails are 8

Hence

Now

Probability of success P=8/50=0.16

Probability  of getting all heads and all tails in 50 trails of which 8 are only success

Hence required Probability =Probability of success *Probability of getting all heads or tails

=0.16*(1/4)

=0.16*0.25

=0.04

Hence experimental probability that all 3 coins show the same result when he tossed it for 50 times and 8 of those are of success is 0.04

The answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of Alina’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. 25% of Dane’s workout consisted of cardio exercise. Which statement must be true?If they worked out for the same amount of time, Dane did 10 more minutes of cardio exercise than Alina.


If Alina’s workout was 80 minutes, and Dane’s workout was 48 minutes, they spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.


If both workouts were 60 minutes, Dane spent 8 more minutes on cardio exercise than Alina did.


Alina spent less time on cardio exercise than Dane did.

Answers

Answer:

If Alina’s workout was 80 minutes, and Dane’s workout was 48 minutes, they spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A,

If they both workout for x minutes,

Alina's time is

=0.15x

and Dane's time is

=0.25x


The difference is

0.25x-0.15x=0.1x

If they both work out for 100 minutes, then Dane did 10 more minutes of cardio exercise than Alina.

Since x is not fixed, this statement is false.


For option B,


If Alina's work out  was 80 minutes, then she spent 0.15*80=12 minutes on cardio exercise.


If Dane's work out  was 48 minutes, then he spent 0.25*48=12 minutes on cardio exercise.


Hence both spent the same amount of time on cardio exercise.


The correct answer is option B


For option C,

If they both workout for 60 minutes, then

Alina's time is

=0.15* 60=9

and Dane's time is

=0.25*60=15


The difference is

15-9=6

If they both work out for 60 minutes, then Dane did 9 more minutes of cardio exercise than Alina and not 10.

This statement is false


For option D,

We cannot tell whether Alina spent more or less time than Dane,unless we know the time both spent for the entire work out.

Since the time difference depends on the initial amount of time, answer #1 is not right
Next, #3 is also not right since the difference is way to great.
Next, #4, we cannot tell how long the workouts of both were, so this is not right either
Therefore, #2 is the right answer
Hope this helped!! :D
