three times some number decreased by five is no less than 16

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

The problem involves mathematical inequalities. We translate the sentence into the inequality 3x - 5 ≥ 16 and solve for 'x', resulting in 'x ≥ 7'. Thus, the number must be 7 or any number above 7.

Explanation:

The student's question involves mathematical inequalities. To solve it, let's use 'x' to represent the unknown number in the problem. The question can therefore be translated into the following inequality: 3x - 5 ≥ 16. To find 'x', follow these steps:

Add 5 to both sides of the inequality to undo the subtraction: 3x ≥ 21.Divide both sides of the inequality by 3, to isolate on 'x': x ≥ 7.

So, the original sentence 'three times some number decreased by five is no less than 16' is equivalent to the inequality 'x ≥ 7'. Hence, the number must be 7 or any number greater than 7.

A computer store bought a program at a cost of ​$10 and sold it at a selling price of ​$12. Find the percent markup.
PLEASEEEE

Answers

Percent mark up the amount of percent gain so (12-10)/10 or 20%
Final answer:

The percent markup on a program bought for $10 and sold for $12 is 20%.

Explanation:

The question you've asked relates to the calculation of percent markup on an item. In this case, a computer store purchased a software program for $10 and sold it for $12. To find the percent markup, we compare the markup to the cost price. The markup here, is the difference between the selling price and the cost price which is $12 - $10 = $2. To find the percent markup, you divide markup by the cost price and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. So, the calculation is ($2 / $10) × 100, which equals 20%.

There are many tools we can use to find the information of the relation which was used to form the graph.

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line; y=mx+b,

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept(value of y at x =0)

Since, slope = (y - y')/(x -x')

(3 points) Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to rent a truck for 3 hours

Answers

[Part A]

company A                company B
A=3h+75                    B=2h+85

definition of variables
A=company A
B=company B
h=number of hours used

[Part B]
company A would charge less for 5 hours

justification
company A                 company B
A=3(5)+75                   B=2(5)+85
A=15+75                     B=10+85
A=90                           B=90

[Part C]
By using the services of company A instead of company B to rent a truck for three hours you save 7 dollars.
company A:  A=3(3)+75 = 9+75= 84
company B:  B=2(3)+85 = 6+85 = 91
difference: 91-84= 7

Answer:

A)

Company A) would be y = 3x + 75

Company B) would be y = 2x + 85

company A                 company B

A = 3(5) + 75               B = 2(5) + 85

A = 15 + 75                 B = 10 + 85

A = 90                         B = 95

B)

Company A) so that would give us y = $90

Company B) and this would give us y = $95

C)

Company A- in 3 hours you would spend $84

Company B- in 3 hours you would spend $91

so you save $7 by using A instead of B

A water tank contains 1,250 gallons of water. The water is used to fill some 30 gallon barrels. What is the number of the barrels that can be completely filled and how much water is left?

Answers

41.6 gallons can be filled

A total of 41 barrels can be completely filled with 1,250 gallons of water, leaving 20 gallons of water leftover in the tank.

Suppose a water tank contains 1,250 gallons of water and this water is used to fill 30-gallon barrels. In that case, we can calculate the number of barrels that can be completely filled and the remaining water by dividing the total water volume by the volume of one barrel.

First, divide 1,250 gallons by 30 gallons per barrel:

[tex]\frac{1250}{30}[/tex] = 41.66

This division gives us 41 complete barrels, with a remainder indicating that 20 gallons of water will be left.

Therefore, 41 barrels can be completely filled, and 20 gallons of water will remain in the tank.

Each stone in ally’s collection weighs about 4 ounces her collection weighs about 24 pounds in all about how many stones are in ally’s collection

Answers

96, 16 ounces = 1 lbs(pounds) so you times 24 by 16 and get 384 then you divide by 4 and you get 96.

The total number of stones in Ally's collection is A = 96

What is unit conversion?

In order to translate measurements of a particular amount between different units, a mathematical conversion factor is usually used. This modifies the measurement of the quantity without altering its effects.

The particular circumstances or the intended result control the conversion process. This may be governed by law, a contract, a list of technical specifications, or other publicly available standards.

A precise conversion from one system to another is necessary for some measures in order to maintain the precision of both the original measurement and the conversion.

Based on the connection between a particular pair of original units and a particular pair of target units, each conversion factor is chosen.

Given data ,

Let the weight of the stone be = 4 ounces

And , let the weight of the collection be = 24 pounds

From the unit conversion , we get

1 pound = 16 ounces

So , 24 pounds = 16 x 24 = 384 ounces

And , the number of stones A = 384 ounces / weight of the stone

On simplifying , we get

The number of stones A = 384 / 4 = 96 stones

Hence , the number of stones is 96

Given a mean of 43.8 and a standard deviation of 8.7, within how many standard deviations of the mean do the values 60, 40, 35, 45, and 39 fall?

Answers

I think the answer is 0.

Answer with explanation:

Mean ([tex]\mu[/tex]) = 43.8

Standard Deviation ([tex]\sigma[/tex]) = 8.7

We can draw the normal curve and then show where these values lie.

Or we can use the equation, [tex]43.8 \pm 8.7 \times k = \text{Value}[/tex], use positive sign when ,number is greater than mean, and negative sign when number is smaller than mean, to find that , how many standard deviations of the mean do the values 60, 40, 35, 45, and 39 fall.

1.→ 43.8 +8.7 k= 60

8.7 k= 60 - 43.8

8.7 k= 16.2

[tex]k=\frac{16.2}{8.7}\\\\k=1.8620\\\\k=1.86[/tex]

2.→ 43.8 - 8.7 k=40

43.8-40 = 8.7 k

8.7 k= 3.8

[tex]k=\frac{3.8}{8.7}\\\\k=0.4367\\\\k=0.44[/tex]

3.→43.8 - 8.7 k=35

43.8-35 = 8.7 k

8.7 k= 8.8

[tex]k=\frac{8.8}{8.7}\\\\k=1.011\\\\k=1.01[/tex]

4.→43.8 + 8.7 k=45

43.8-45 = -8.7 k

-8.7 k= -1.2

8.7 k= 1.2

[tex]k=\frac{1.2}{8.7}\\\\k=0.1379\\\\k=0.14[/tex]

5.→43.8 -8.7 k=39

43.8-39 = 8.7 k

8.7 k= 4.8

[tex]k=\frac{4.8}{8.7}\\\\k=0.5517\\\\k=0.55[/tex]

Why is indirect compensation important to recruiting and retaining employees? (site 1)

Answers

Indirect compensation includes non-wage compensation to employees that are outside of their normal wages or salaries. These benefits may include health insurance, tuition funding, educational opportunities, daycare, vacation, as well as flexible work schedules. They are often not taxable, and provide important assets to companies looking to attract quality employees at different stages in their careers. A good example is health insurance. With the national debate on health care, quality affordable health insurance for employees and their families is a very important tool to attract employees.

Indirect compensations may encompass sales commisons, health, transport, accommodation allowances and so on which aren't included as part of their base salary.

Indirect compensations go a long way assisting employees in different aspects of their personal lives which may not be directly related to work.

A good indirect compensation which caters for transport, housing and medical expenditures seems way more beneficial than a huge base salary without allowances.

Also, indirect allowances such as commission encourages employees to put more effort into sales and marketing since it is based on percentage. Hence, the more they input, the more their earning.

Therefore, indirect allowances are of considerable benefit which is highly considered when choosing an employer.
