How many yards are in 27 feet?

In a bell-shaped curve, the data distribution is symmetric around a single peak. The centering of data around a single peak means the mean, mode and median of the test are all equal to each other.

We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.

We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:

\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\)or\(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)

Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.

\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)

From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.

Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.

We solve for the value of x by following the order of operations

3(x-2)=15

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Thus, the value of x is 8.

Let x be the original price of the recliner.

Step 1: Apply the 30% discount

The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:

SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x

Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount

The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:

FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x

Step 3: Solve for x

The consumer paid $237, so:

0.525x=237

​ x≈451.43x

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.

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.

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.

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

To convert 514 to a percentage:

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to a decimal

514=5+14=5+0.25=5.255

Step 2: Convert to a percentage

Multiply by 100:

5.25×100=525%

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=3*width=3*x=3x

Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =3x-4

This is the required equation.

To solve the equation this equation, we compute the multiplication of the two numbers using the calculator

3.60 * 0.75 = 2.7
