Sam is moving into a new apartment. Before he moves in, he has to pay his landlord the first month's rent and a security deposit 1.5 times that of the monthly rent. If he pays the landlord $3275 before he moves in, what is the monthly rent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The monthly rent will be $1310

Let the monthly rent be represented by x.

Since the security deposit is 1.5 times that of the monthly rent, then the security deposit will be: = (1.5 × x) = 1.5x

Then the monthly rent will be calculated thus:

(1.5x + x) = $3275

2.5x = $3275

Then, we'll find the value of x

x = $3275/2.5

x = $1310

Therefore, the monthly rent will be $1310.

Answer 2

Answer: x = monthly rent
x + 1.5x = 3275
2.5x = 3275
x = 3275/2.5
x = 1310 <== rent

1.5(1310) = 1965 -- security deposit

check...
1310 + 1965 = 3275
3275 = 3275 (correct)

so his monthly rent is : $ 1310

sue wants to know how many families in her small neighborhood of 50 homes would volunteer to help at a neighborhood animal shelter. She put all the addresses in a bag and drew a random sample of 25 addresses. She then asked those families if they would volunteer to help at the shelter. She found that 18% of the families would volunteer to help at the shelter. She claims that 18% of the neighborhood families would be expected to help at the animal shelter. Is this a valid inference? Yes, this is a valid inference because the 25 families speak for the whole neighborhood Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood No, this is not a valid inference because she only asked 25 families No, this is not a valid inference because she did not take a random sample of the neighborhood

25% of what number is 9

Answers

The solution for the number is 36.

Used the concept of the percentage that states,

To Calculate the percent of a number, divide the number by the whole number and multiply by 100.

Let us assume that a number x that satisfies 25% of x is 9.

Hence it can be written as,

$25\% \ \text {of }x = 9$

Solve for x,

$(25)/(100) * x = 9$

$25x = 900$

$x = 36$

Therefore, the solution is 36.

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Thus we can write:

$25\%* x=9$

$(25)/(100)* x=9$

$x=(9* 100)/(25)$

$x=36$

Thus 25% of 36 is 9.

Im stuck on question 43

Answers

Ok, first things first... No, she did not do the problem correctly. This question has everything to do with order of operations which says the parentheses are the first thing to be done, followed by exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction... PEMDAS. Now, technically, her first operation that she performed was incorrect because she did the exponent first, but this really doesn't affect the outcome, so we'll overlook it for now. Her next step was to go to the parentheses, but within the parentheses, she performed the wrong operation first... She should have multiplied 2 and 3, then added 4. Instead, she committed the fatal flaw in her math and added 4 and 2 then multiplied 3. As soon as that happened, the rest of the problem was incorrect because now she's adding and subtracting the wrong number.

The notes you made yourself on the side of the problem were exactly correct and if you followed them, you would have had the correct answer. The steps should have progressed like this...

2^3 + (4 + 2 * 3) -1 =
2^3 + (4 + 6) -1=
2^3 + 10 -1=
8 + 10 - 1=
18 - 1 = 17

Of course as you get better at solving this type of equation, you can combine steps. I wrote down each individual step so you could see more clearly what was going on. Have a good night!

The answer is no. Allsion did not follow the PEMDAS rule. She added 4+2 before she multipled 2 and 3 together in the parenthesis. This is how you get the real answer.
2^3 + (4 + 2 * 3) -1
8 + (4 + 6) -1
8 + (10) -1
18 - 1
17
17 is the final answer
