3 (x-2) = 18

Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the correct answer?

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a no correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

The selling price of the sweater is marked price less the mark off value.

Mark off value=mark off rate*original price

Mark of value=30% of $95

Mark of value=0.30*$95=$28.50

Now, find the selling price of the sweater

Selling price= marked price-mark off value

Thus, the sweater will be sold for 66.50 after applying a mark off of 30%. The selling price is about $67.

To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.

74  95 = 

7/8 = 3/8

0.72 = 72/100

74% = 74/100

Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:

74/95*3800=2960

7/8*3800=3325

72/100*3800=2736

74/100*3800=2812

We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile; we find total distance and total time the athlete takes in running.

Total distance run by athlete=7+3=10 miles

Total time=45+15 =60 minutes

The athlete runs 10 miles in 60 minutes. For the athlete to cover 1 mile, he will run for a time less than 60 minutes. Thus, in 1 mile, the athlete takes:

So, in 6 minutes, the athlete covers 1 mile.

The median of a data set is found in two ways:

For an odd data set, the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.

For an even data set, the median is the average of the element in the (N/2)th and (N+1)/2 th positions.

To find the median of the given data set, we need to arrange the elements from the smallest to the largest as follows:

12, 12, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 35, 35

There are 11 elements in the data set. 11 is an odd number and the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.

Median =(11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.

From the organized data, the element in the 6th position is 22, which is the required median for the data set.

To change between L and mL, the following two options are used.

The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.

Solve for value of p by cross products

Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3

The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.

We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.

The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:

Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax

Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)

Total tax=$206.00

The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes

Weekly net income=gross income-total tax

Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00

In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

We need to find the amount Lana left after spending and investing another.

Lana spends=70% of $90=70/100 * 90 = $63

Amount left after spending=$(90-63) = $27

Lana is left with $27, which she will invest and earns a profit of 60%.

Profit earned=60% of $27 = 60/100 * 27 = $16.20

Therefore, Lana will have $27 + $16.20 = $43.20
