A pound of almonds is said to cost 8 dollars.
But one pound is equivalent to 16 ounces, therefore:
16 ounces cost 8 dollars
Dividing by 8 we get that
2 ounces of almonds cost 1 dollar
Thus, for $3.80 we can buy 2*3.80 = 7.60 ounces of almonds
Al gets paid semimonthly. His gross pay for each pay period is $750.He has 18% withheld for taxes and 48 withheld for personal deductions.What is the amount of his annual net pay?a. $7,200b. $14,040c. $15,300d. $15,600
so given $750 as gross pay
18% withheld for taxes
48 withheld for personal term this also means 4%
18% = 0.18
4% = 0.04
so to get the annual net,
750 x (1 - 0.18 - 0.04) x 24
= 14040
=$14, 040
this makes option B the corect answer

Please HelpWhich of the following is a continuous random variable?A. X= number of incoming flights at the local airportB. T=winning time in the man's 100 meter dash at the 2016 OlympicsC. P=number of points scored by Stephen curry in a game D.H=The number of hats sold on Tuesday
A continuous random variable must be a variable that can take decimal values.
In this case, the number of incoming flights at the local airport can not take decimal values, because you can not say 3 and a half flights.
In a basketball game you can not score half point, it means this variable can neither take decimal values.
You can not sell 5 and a quarter hats, it means this variable can not take decimal values.
The only variable that meets this condition is the winning time in the man's 100 meter dash at the 2016 Olympics.
The correct answer is B.

Each week, Tasha saves 60% of the money she earns babysitting and spends the rest. This week she earned $20.00. How much more money did she save than spend this week?
Answer:
$4.00 more saved than spent
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Tasha saves 60% of her earnings and that she earned $20.00 this week, we need to find the amount she saved and subtract this amount and the amount she earned.
Letting A represent the amount Tasha saves and e represent her earnings, we can find how much she saved using
A(e) = 0.60e
A(20) = 0.60 * 20 = 12
Since she only earned $20.00, we can find the amount she spent by subtracting 12 from 20:
20 - 12 = 8
Finally, we can find how much more she saved than spent this week by subtracting 8 from 12:
12 - 8 = $4.00
Angles K and M are vertical angles. K’s measurement is 72 degrees. What is the measure of M ?
If two angles are vertical and congruent, the angle is the same:
[tex]\begin{gathered} K=M \\ M=72 \end{gathered}[/tex]The measure of M is 72°
The figure shown was created by placing the vertices of a square on the circle. Thesquare has side lengths of 7cm and the circle has a diameter of 10 cm.Which measurement is closest to the area of the shaded region of the figure insquare centimeters?
To answer this question, we need to find the area of the square, and then the area of the circle. Then, we need to subtract from the area of the circle, the area of the square.
The area of the square is given by the formula:
[tex]A_{\text{square}}=s^2[/tex]The side of the square is 7cm. Then, the area is:
[tex]A_{\text{square}}=(7\operatorname{cm})^2\Rightarrow A_{square}=49\operatorname{cm}^2[/tex]Now, the area of the circle is given by the formula:
[tex]A_{\text{circle}}=\pi\cdot r^2[/tex]The diameter of the circle is equal to 10cm. The radius of the circle is half of the measure of the diameter. Then, the radius is equal to 10/2 ---> r = 5cm. Then, we have:
[tex]A_{\text{circle}}=\pi\cdot(5\operatorname{cm})^2\Rightarrow A_{circle}=\pi\cdot25\operatorname{cm}\approx78.54\operatorname{cm}^2[/tex]Now, to find the shaded area, we need to subtract from this area, the area of the square:
[tex]A_{\text{shaded}}=A_{\text{circle}}-A_{\text{square}}=78.54\operatorname{cm}-49\operatorname{cm}=29.54\operatorname{cm}^2[/tex]Therefore, the shaded area is closest to 29.5 square centimeters (third option) (if we round our result to the nearest tenth.)
You want to know the number of minutes that you can use on your $45.00 phone card. The card company chargesyou $0.50 for the first minute and $0.05 for cach additional minute. Solve the formula $45.00 = $0.50 + $0.05mfor m. Justify each step with an algebraic property of equality.
To solve m:
1. Subtract 0.50 in both sides of the equation (subtraction property of equality):
[tex]\begin{gathered} 45.00-0.50=0.50-0.50+0.05m \\ 44.5=0.05m \end{gathered}[/tex]2. Divide both sides of the equation into 0.05 (Division property of equality):
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{44.5}{0.05}=\frac{0.05}{0.05}m \\ \\ 890=m \end{gathered}[/tex]3. Rewrite the equation (Symmetric property):
[tex]m=890[/tex]Then, you can use 890 minutes on your $45.00 phone card.What is Three subtracted from a number that equals 63

To convert 5 to a decimal, divide it by 8.
To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply it by 100.
What is decimal and percentage conversion?
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. So 25% is 25/100, or 0.25. To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100 (just move the decimal point 2 places to the right) and give the % symbol.
Consider, the given fraction, 5/8
Divide 5 by 8 to change a decimal.
So, 5/8 = 0.625
Now to convert decimal 0.625 into a percent.
Multiply 0.625 by 100 to get 62.5%.
So, the conversion of fraction into decimal is 0.625 and the decimal into percent is 62.5%.

Answer
x = (25/22)
y = (2/11)
Explanation
4х - Зу = 4
2х + 4y = 3
We are asked to solve the system of equations by elimination
To do that, we will multiply the first equation by 1 and the second equation by 2
(4х - Зу = 4) × 1
(2х + 4y = 3) × 2
4x - 3y = 4
4x + 8y = 6
Subtract equation 1 from equation 2
4x + 8y = 6
- (4x - 3y = 4)
4x - 4x + 8y + 3y = 6 - 4
0 + 11y = 2
11y = 2
Divide both sides by 11
(11y/11) = (2/11)
y = (2/11)
Using one of the equations, we can solve for x
2x + 4y = 3
2x + 4(2/11) = 3
2x + (8/11) = 3
2x = 3 - (8/11)
2x = (33/11) - (8/11)
2x = (25/11)
x = (25/22)

You need a 50% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 300 mL of a 40% alcohol mixture. You also
have 80% alcohol mixture. How much of the 80% mixture will you need to add to obtain the desired
solution?
You will need
—————————mL of the 80% solution
You will need 100 mL of the 80% solution and solve the question by using percentage concept.
What is the percentage?
A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.
Assume that x mL of 80% solution is needed.
The amount of alcohol in 300 mL of a 40% alcohol mixture is
300 mL × 40% = 300 × (40/100) = 120 ml.
The amount of alcohol in 300 mL of a 40% alcohol mixture is
300 mL - 120 mL = 180 mL.
The amount of alcohol in x mL of a 80% alcohol mixture is
x mL × 80% = x × (80/100) = (8x)/10 ml.
The amount of alcohol in x mL of a 80% alcohol mixture is
x - (8x)/10 ml = (2x)/10 mL.
Total amount of alcohol is 120 + (8x)/10 mL
Total amount of water is 180 + (2x)/10 mL
The meaning of 50% alcohol solution is the amount of alcohol and water is equal.
120 + (8x)/10 = 180 + (2x)/10
(8x)/(10)- (2x)/10 = 180 -120
(6x)/(10) = 60
x = 100

[tex]A=P(1+r)^n_{}_{}[/tex]Where:
A = accrued amount.
P = Principal (starting amount).
r = interest rate.
n = number of years.
We have from the question:

A = it is the unknown amount.
We can determine A to then find the interest he earned. Thus, we can proceed as follows:
[tex]A=4000(1+0.06)^3\Rightarrow A=4000(1.06)^3\Rightarrow A=4764.064[/tex]This previous amount is the accrued amount (the starting amount plus the interest after 3 years annually compounded).
Therefore, the amount Vijay earned in interests (after 3 years) is:
