In the final round of a TV game show, contestants have a chance to increase their current winnings of $1 million to $2 million. If they are wrong, their prize is decreased to $500,000. A contestant thinks his guess will be right 50 percent of the time. Should he play

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The contestant should not play.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given question, their current winning is $1 million.

The probability of the guessing to be true is 50% = (50)/(100) = (1)/(2).

There is also a possibility of 50% to be wrong, which can reduced the winning amount to $500,000 that is the half of the current amount.

Hence, the contestant should not play.

Mrs. Grudman bought a dishwasher at a special sale. The dishwasher regularly sold for$912. No down payment was required. Mrs. Grudman has to pay $160 for the next six
months. What is the average amount she pays in interest each month?

Answers

The average amount she pays in interest each month will be $8.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The dishwasher regularly sold for $912.

No down payment was required.

Mrs. Grudman has to pay $160 for the next six months.

Now,

The total amount pay by Mrs. Grudman = 6 x $160

                                                             = $960

Thus, The average amount she pays in interest each month is;

= (960 - 912) / 6

= $8

Thus, The average amount she pays in interest each month will be $8.

Suppose the function P(t) = 437.6(1.031)t is used to model the population of an organism in a specific region after t years. When will the number of organisms be 1000? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:  27.071  years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : P(t) = 437.6(1.031)^t is used to model the population of an organism in a specific region after t years.

To find : t , when P(t)=1000

Substitute  P(t)=1000 in the given function , we get

1000 = 437.6(1.031)^t\n\n\Rightarrow\ (1000)/(437.6)=(1.031)^t\n\n\Rightarrow\ 2.2852=(1.031)^t

Taking natural log on both sides , we get

\ln(2.2852)=\ln ((1.031)^t)\n\n\Rightarrow\ \ln(2.2852)=t(\ln (1.031))\n\n\Rightarrow\ t=( \ln(2.2852)/(\ln(1.031))\n\n\Rightarrow\ t=(0.8264535)/(0.0305292)\n\n\Rightarrow\ t=27.070918989\approx27.071

Hence, The number of organisms will be 1000 after t= 27.071  years.

Quinton had a gross income of $2741.67 during each pay period in 2009. If he got paid monthly, how much of his pay was deducted for FICA in 2009?

Answers

Answer:

$2,516.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Quinton had a monthly gross income of $2741.67.

He was paid yearly = $2741.67 × 12 = $32,900.04

FICA tax  is social security tax (6.2%) and medicare tax (1.45%)

FICA tax rate = 6.2% + 1.45% = 7.65%

FICA tax deduction = 7.65% × 32,900.04

                                 = 0.0765 × 32,900.04

                                 = $2,516.85

His pay was deducted for FICA $2,516.85

Answer:

$2516.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 6y + 2x = 14 for x.

Answers


X= 7-3y

X has to be on one side

6y+2x =14
2x= 14-6y
X= 7-3y

Now we can plug that into the original equation (check)

6y + 2(7-3y)
6y+ 14-6y
14=14

X= 7-3y
