Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece

iving money, Mindy would like a $12 pizza, including 5 percent sales tax. Is this a fair trade? Explain how to find the solution.

This trade is indeed fair since 85% of $15 equals $12.75, while the pizza, including tax, costs $12.60.

I hope this helps!:)

To tackle this problem, we first need to ascertain the commission taken by the pizza shop and how much money belongs to Mindy. We know that Mindy sells her artwork for $15, and the pizza shop retains a 15% commission. Therefore, the commission is calculated as (15/100) * 15, which equals 2.25 dollars. This means the pizza shop deducts $2.25 from each art sale made by Mindy. Consequently, the amount Mindy receives is (15 - 2.25), resulting in $12.75. Since Mindy opts not for cash but instead chooses a pizza valued at $12, including a 5% sales tax, it seems she benefits by $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. Therefore, this arrangement appears fair for Mindy. Meanwhile, the pizza shop also makes an additional $2.25 from this transaction, making it equitable for both Mindy and the shop owner.

tester [3916]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a mosquito lands on your neck per second is 0.5

The chance of it biting once it lands is 0.2

The likelihood that it does not bite after landing is 0.8

Therefore, the probability of a bite in one second is 0.5(0.2) = 0.01

This translates to a 1/100 likelihood of being bitten in just one second

Over the course of 100 seconds, the expected number of bites is =1

The anticipated interval between bites is 100

A. Consider the following algorithm segment: for i := 1 to 4, for j := 1 to i, [Statements in body of inner loop. None contain b
tester [3916]

Answer:

(a) 4i iterations

(b) "i × n" iterations

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The provided algorithm segment shows:

for i:= 1 to 4, (Outer loop)

for j:= 1 to i (Inner loop)

next j,

next i

The inner loop executes i times while the outer loop completes 4 cycles.

The inner loop’s total execution when the full algorithm runs is:

= i × 4

= 4i iterations

(b) In the given algorithm segment;

for i:= 1 to n, (Outer loop)

for j:= 1 to i (Inner loop)

next j,

next i

where n denotes a set of positive integers.

Jim’s family is choosing whether to go to a restaurant for lunch or for dinner. The cost of a salad is $7 at lunch and $9 at din
AnnZ [3877]

Answer:

To solve this problem, we can denote x as the number of individuals who prefer salad and y as those who opt for steak. For lunch, they will incur a cost of $41, represented as:

7x + 10y = 41

For dinner, the total amount will be $51, represented as:

9x + 12y = 51

From both equations, the values for x and y come out to be 3 and 2, respectively. Thus, 3 individuals will select a salad.
