15. A lamp is on sale at £22.05 This is a 10% reduction of the normal price. What was the price of the lamp before the reduction?

Answers

Answer:

£24.26 (rounded to 2dp) or full answ £24.255

Step-by-step explanation:

find 1% of 22.05= 0.2205

0.2205*10=2.205(10%)

add this to the 90%(£22.05+2.025)= 24.255

                                                          =24.26(rounded to 2dp)

The price of the lamp before the reduction will be £24.5.

What is mean by Percentage?

A number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100 or a relative value indicating hundredth part of any quantity is called percentage.

To Calculate the percent of a number , divide the number by whole number and multiply by 100.

Given that;

The sale price of the lamp = £22.05

This is a 10% reduction of the normal price.

Now,

Let the price of the lamp before the reduction = x

So, We can formulate;

⇒ x - (10% of x) = £22.05

⇒ x - 10x/100 = £22.05

⇒ (100x - 10x)/100 = £22.05

⇒ 90x / 100 = £22.05

⇒ 90x = £22.05 x 100

⇒ 90x = £2205

⇒ x = £2205/90

⇒ x = £24.5

Thus, The price of the lamp before the reduction will be £24.5.

Surface Area of Cylinders

Radius = 10ft
Height = 6ft

Answers

The area of most three-dimensional geometric shapes is

A = a · h

Area = area of the base · height of the figure.

In this case, the area of the base is the area of a circle, so a = πr²:

a = 10²π

a = 100π ≅ 314

Now, all we have to do is multiply the area of the base to the height:

A = 100π · 6

A = 600π                            ← In terms of "π"

A ≅ 1884                             ← Rounded answer

Cabbage

Carrots

Cabbage


Leeks




Spinach


Carrots




Kale


Turnips




Sammy and Hannah both want to get leeks as their star ingredient. Sammy will draw first, followed by Hannah.
What is the probability that NEITHER contestant draws leeks?
Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

The probability that neither of them draws the Leeks card is P = 4/6 = 0.667

Here we can assume that all the cards have the same probability of being randomly drawn.

The cards are:

Cabbage Spinach Kale Leeks Carrots Turnips

So we have 6 cards. We want to find the probability that neither contestant draws the "Leeks" card.

Sammy draws first, the probability of drawing the Leeks card will be equal to the quotient between the number of Leeks cards (one) and the total number of cards (6).

Then the probability of drawing the leeks card is p = 1/6

This means that the probability of NOT drawing the leeks card is:

q = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

Now draws Hanna, now there are 5 cards in the deck (because one was already drawn). With the same approach as before, the probability of drawing the Leeks card is p = 1/5, then the probability of NOT drawing the card is:

q = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

The joint probability (this is, the probability of both of these events to happen together) is just the product of the individual probabilities.

Then the probability that neither of them draws the Leeks card is:

P = (4/5)*(5/6) = 4/6 = 0.667

The price of the CD purchased by the Andrew is $16.

Percentage

Percentage is the part of a whole given as a fraction of the hundred.

As the Andrew has a coupon of 20 percent, the 20 percent will be off whatever he buys. Now the discount price for the $16 priced CD is equal to the 20 percent of the 16. Thus the discount is,

[tex]d=\dfrac{16\times20}{100} \\ [/tex]

[tex]d=3.2[/tex]

Thus the discount on the CD is 3.2.

Now the discounted price of the CD is equal to the difference of the price of the CD and the discount. Thus the discounted price of the CD is,

[tex]P=16-3.2[/tex]
