All computers are on sale for 10% off the original price. If x is the original price of the computer, then the function that rep

resents the price after only a 10% discount is: P(x) = x - 0.1x P(x) = 0.9x The function that gives the price, C, if only a $150 coupon is used is: C(x) = x - 150 Choose the composition function that gives the final sale price after a 10% discount is followed by a $150 coupon. C(P(x)) = 0.9x – 150 P(C(x)) = 0.9x – 150 C(P(x)) = 1.9x – 150 P(C(x)) = 1.9x – 150

To determine the original price, denoted as "x", the price after applying a 10% discount is calculated as P(x) = 0.9x.

Using a coupon of $150 subtracts from the price, yielding C(x) = x - 150.

At the store, the item is 10% off, meaning you essentially pay 90% of its original price, or 0.9x. However, you also have a $150 coupon at your disposal, resulting in a final payment of 0.9x - 150, representing the 10% discount plus the coupon deduction.

Thus, C(P(x)) = P(x) - 150

C(P(x)) = 0.9x - 150

C(P(x)) = 0.9x – 150 is the right choice.

Leona [4166]
Let x represent the number of pages in the U.S. Tax Code and y denote the pages in the King James Bible.

According to the provided information,
x= y+18,528 ⇒ y=x-18,528
x+y = 21,472 ⇒ x+(x-18,528) = 21,472 ⇒ x+x-18,528 = 21,472 ⇒ 2x= 18,528+21,472 ⇒ 2x = 40,000 ⇒ x=40,000/2 = 20,000 pages

Therefore, the U.S. tax code consists of 20,000 pages.

There are 345 students at a college who have taken a course in calculus, 212 who have taken a course in discrete mathematics, an
AnnZ [3877]

Answer:

There are 369 students who enrolled in either calculus or discrete mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll create a Venn diagram to illustrate these figures.

Let’s define:

A represents the count of students who completed calculus.

B stands for those who took discrete mathematics.

We have the following:

A = a + (A \cap B)

Here, a denotes the students who studied calculus exclusively, while A \cap B represents those who took both subjects.

Using the same reasoning:

B = b + (A \cap B)

There are 188 students taking both calculus and discrete mathematics.

This implies that A \cap B = 188

A total of 212 students studied discrete mathematics.

<pBased on this, B = 212

345 students have attended a calculus course.

<pSo, from this information, A = 345

We find the total number of students who took either calculus or discrete mathematics.

(A \cup B) = A + B - (A \cap B) = 345 + 212 - 188 = 369

A total of 369 students participated in either calculus or discrete mathematics.

A box has 14 camera of which 6 are refurbished and 8 are new. If four of these 14 cameras are selected at random without replace
Leona [4166]

Answer:

160/1001, 175/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

i) We calculate:

₈C₁ methods to select 1 new camera from a selection of 8

₆C₃ methods to select 3 refurbished cameras from a selection of 8

₁₄C₄ methods to select 4 cameras from the total of 14 cameras

The probability formula is:

P = ₈C₁ ₆C₃ / ₁₄C₄

P = 8×20 / 1001

P = 160 / 1001

P ≈ 0.160

ii) For at most one new camera, it means we want either one new camera or none at all. We've calculated the probability of selecting one new camera already. The probability of not selecting any new camera is equivalent to selecting 4 refurbished cameras:

P = ₆C₄ / ₁₄C₄

P = 15 / 1001

Therefore, the combined probability is:

P = 160/1001 + 15/1001

P = 175/1001

P ≈ 0.175

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date, a $0.30 fee is charged at midnight. Which ordered pair is viable solutio
tester [3916]

Assume that the number of overdue days for the library book is X, and the total fine is Y.

Liability charges a fee of $0.30 per day for lateness,

Thus, for one day late, the fee equals: 1 * $0.30

For X days late, the fee becomes: X * $0.30.

The total fee Y corresponds to being X days late, so: Y = 0.30 * X.

Next, we'll verify which possible answers satisfy the equation Y = 0.30 * X.

Options one (-3, -0.9) and two (-2.5, -0.75) are invalid since the number of late days cannot be negative, and these give negative values for X.

Option three (4.5, 1.35) is also incorrect because the library charges per whole day; 4.5 days is not an integer, so they would charge 4 or 5 days, not 4.5.

Option four (8, 2.40) matches the equation perfectly:

Y = 0.30 * X

2.40 = 0.30 * 8

2.40 = 2.40.

Therefore, the only correct answer is option four (8, 2.40).
