I don't know how to anwser. I'm not even sure that is a word in the English language.

Be that as it may, percent profit is given by , where is sell price and is dealer cost. You can do your own arithmetic.

Two variables and one equation. Pick a number for one of the variables and then do the arithmetic to find the other, but there are an infinite number of pairs that satisfy the equation.

Divide 57 by 63. Multiply the result by 100. Round off to a precision that tickles your fancy.

Since you are replacing each time, the probability of a red on any draw is 4/6 or 2/3. Altogether 8/27.

Money_Word_Problems/752040: You are trying to plan for retirement in 20 years and currently have $85,000 in a savings account and $25,000 in a mutual fund. In addition you plan on adding to your savings account by depositing $1,500 at the end of each month for the next five years then $35,000 at the end of each year for the final fifteen years until retirement.
a) Assuming your savings account returns 4 % (compounded semi-annually) while your mutual fund will return 9 % (compounded monthly). How much will you have saved (in total) at the end of 20 years?
b) If you expect to live for 30 years after you retire and at retirement you deposit all of your savings (including the value of the mutual fund) into an account paying 7% (compounded annually), how much can you withdraw at the beginning of each month?

For part (a) should I have two cash flows one for the mutual fund and one for savings account? and then calculate the future value for each cash flow?

Just because I subscribe to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) theory of problem solving, I would use three cash flow calculations. First the initial 5 years of 1500/month into the savings. Then, using the results of that calculation as the Present Value for the $35K/year for 15 years calculation. That gets you the future value for the savings at the 20 year point. Then just add that to the compouded interest in the Mutual Fund.

90 days is 1/4 year, so for a 90 day term she will get 1/4 of the interest that the same amount of money would earn in 1 full year.

Does the outcome of the second trial depend on the outcome of the first trial? Does the probability that you will draw a specific card on the second draw change depending on what was drawn on the first card, given that the first card is replaced in the deck before making the second draw?

For a point at (3,-4), the distance from the origin is 5 (because 3, 4, 5 is a Pythagorean Triple). The distance from the origin is the hypotenuse of your right triangle, so the sine is -4/5, the cosine is 3/5, the tangent is the sine divided by the cosine, the cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent, the secant is the reciprocal of the cosine, and the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine.

There is no "solution" for your equation. I very much doubt that your instructor or your textbook asked you to solve the equation. You only have one equation, and, counting the question mark, you have 4 variables.

Now it is possible to show the binomial expansion of your expression, presuming that the 2n + 1 part is an exponent (in which case you should have rendered the expression as (x - y)^(2n + 1) = ?). But that is not what you asked and I'm not going to do all of that work on a guess. Write back when you figure out what it is that you really want.

In each case, you have two equal x coordinates and two equal y coordinates, therefore, two of the sides are perpendicular.

In each case, plot the points, draw your triangle, determine the length of the two perpendicular legs, multiply and then divide by 2, just like finding the area of any other right triangle.

Since the perpendicular legs are parallel to the axes, determining the length is a simple matter of subtracting coordinates and then taking the absolute value. For example, the measure of the segment that joins (0, -9) and (3, -9) is |0 - 3| = 3.

You can figure the rest for yourself. By the way, please read the instruction that says "One question per post." Then re-read it. Repeat until understanding is complete. Thank you.

For the first card drawn, there are 4 ways out of 52 to get a king, or 1/13. Then, given that a king was drawn on the first draw, you have 3 kings left in the deck, but the deck now only has 51 cards, so 3/51 = 1/17, and these are independent events, so the product of the two probabilities. I can't tell you "which" expression because YOU were too lazy to share the choices with us -- you will have to calculate which of your choices is equivalent to 1/13 times 1/17

The only way to solve this is to find a logical way to list them.

Two quarters is 50 cents, so it is only possible to have either one quarter or zero quarters.

Start with 1 quarter. That leaves you with 18 cents to make up. So, given that you have 1 quarter, the most dimes you can have is 1, leaving you 8 cents to make up, so you can have, at most, 1 nickel, and then 3 pennies.

Now take away the nickel and add 5 pennies, so 1 Q, 1 D, 0 N, 8 P.

Take away the dime, so:

1 Q, 0 D, 3 N, 3 P, or
1 Q, 0 D, 2 N, 8 P, or
1 Q, 0 D, 1 N, 13 P, or
1 Q, 0 D, 0 N, 18 P

Take away the quarter, and now you can have up to 4 dimes:

0 Q, 4 D, 0 N, 3 P

And so on until you get down to 0 Q, 0 D, 0 N, 43 P. You can follow the pattern and then count the possibilities for yourself.

Numeric fractions are one number divided by another. Rational expressions are one mathematical expression divided by another, and said mathematical expressions may or may not contain variables. Since numbers are, in and of themselves, mathematical expressions, all numeric fractions, given that the numbers are rational themselves, are rational expressions. Hence the term numeric fractions is redundant. By the way, the term "rational" has nothing whatever to do with sanity. A rationial number is one that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.

Calculate the volume of the original cube by raising the measure of one edge to the third power. Then calculate the volume of the conical hole, which I cannot help you with because you didn't bother to give any dimensions for the hole or describe whether it only went part way through the cube and is thus an entire cone or whether the hole went all the way through so that it is a frustum. Once you have the volume of the hole, subtract that from the volume of the cube.

Whether or not the number is correct, the answer you gave is indeed wrong because area is measured in square feet. Secondly, the total area is the area of the two bases plus the circumference of one of the bases times the height. If the diameter of the base is 1, then the radius is 1/2 and the area of one base is ( remember, you will need two of these), then the circumference of the base is 1 times , so the area of the side surface is 2.75 times . Add up the three pieces and leave the answer in terms of unless your instructor gave you a specific value to use for , in which case use that value for but since the least precise measurment given is the diameter of the base and that precision is to the nearest whole foot, you need to round your answer to the nearest whole square foot.
