1. Larry is in the market for a new lawn mower. He has found two on sale. The first lawn
mower is $275 with a 20 percent discount but must be assembled. The second lawn
mower is $299 with a 25 percent discount and is already assembled. Which of the
following describes the best decision for Larry?
The option that describes the best decision for Larry is Larry buys the second lawn mower because he thinks the extra $5 are worth not having to do the assembly.
How much does Larry spend?The cost of the first lawnmower after the discount is:
= 275 x (1 - 20%)
= 275 x 0.80
= $220
The cost of the second lawnmower is:
= 299 x 0.75
= $224.25
The difference between the lawnmowers is around $5. This $5 is the cost of the assembly on the second lawnmower and Larry might decide that this cost is worth it.
Options for this question include:
Larry buys the second lawn mower because he thinks the extra $5 are worth not having to do the assembly.Larry buys the second lawn mower because it is cheaper due to the better sale, and he doesn't want to assemble a lawn mower.Larry buys the first lawn mower because he likes the way it looks.Larry buys the first lawn mower because it is significantly cheaper.Larry buys the first lawn mower because he can take the day off of work to build it and will saveFind out more on economic decisions at https://brainly.com/question/27840103

two sides of a right triangle measure 222 units and 444 units. 2\text{ units}2 units4\text{ units}4 units what is the area of the square that shares a side with the third side of the triangle?
With the help of Pythagoras Theorem for triangles, we get that the possible areas of the square are: 12 sq. units and 20 sq. units, according to the cases mentioned.
What is Pythagoras Theorem?According to the Pythagoras Theorem, in a right angled triangle, the areas of the squares on the other two sides add up to the size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse.
Given:
Sides of a right triangle are 2 and 4 units.
To find: Area of a square that shares a side with the third side of the triangle.
Finding:
There can the following cases:
If 2 and 4 units are the lengths of the perpendicular sides.
Then, by Pythagoras Theorem, -
[tex]H^{2} = 2^{2}+4^{2}\\ H^{2} = Side^{2}\\H=Side \\H= \sqrt{4+16} \\H= \sqrt{20} \\H= 2\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the square = side² = 20 units²
If 4 units is the length of hypotenuse.
Then, by Pythagoras Theorem,
[tex]4^{2} = 2^{2} + A^{2} \\16 - 4 = A^{2} \\= \sqrt{12}\\[/tex]
side of triangle = [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the square = side² = 12 units²

Initially, there were only 3 weeds at a park. The weeds grew at a rate of 5% each week. The following function represents the weekly weed growth: f(x) = 3(1.05)x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the weeds grow each day and calculate this rate as a percentage.
f(x) = 3(1.007)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.7% daily
f(x) = 3(1.05)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.5% daily
f(x) = 3(0.15)x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.15% daily
f(x) = 3(1.007)x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.07% daily
Based on the calculation below, the rate at which the weeds grow each day is 0.7%.
How do we calculate the daily percentage growth rate?Given:
f(x) = 3(1.05)x = 3(1 + 0.05)x ................... (1)
Since there are 7 days in a week, the rate at which the weeds grow each day can be calculated from equation (1) by dividing 0.05 (i.e. 5% weekly growth rate) as follows:
f(x) = 3(1 + (0.05 / 7))x
f(x) = 3(1 + 0.007)x
f(x) = 3(1.007)x
Since 0.007 is the same as 0.7%, this implies that the rate at which the weeds grow each day is 0.7%.
The correct option is "f(x) = 3(1.007)7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.7% daily".

stamps that are worth $0.49 each.
If Brian puts 7 first class stamps on the package, how many postcard stamps will be needed.
Answer:
Okay so a couple key points
$5.00 to ship it
Postcard stamps = $0.34
First class stamps= $0.49
And lastly he has 7 first class stamps
So with that being said you take .49 and times it by 7 since he has seven of them and that would be $3.43
And now you take $3.49 and subtract it from the $5.00 you'd be left with $1.57
Now you take $.34 and divide it by $1.57 and you would get a total of 4.61 so that means you would need five postcard stamps
So to be able to ship the package you'd need 7 first class stamps and 5 postcard stamps

We need to estimate the quotient of 538 ÷ 96 by using two methods.
The first method can be that we first estimate the divisor and the dividend to the nearest tens and then perform the division.
538 will be rounded off to 540 and 96 will be rounded off to 100.
So, it becomes:
540 ÷ 100
= 5.4
This will again be rounded off to 5
= 5
The second method will be that we first perform the division and then round off.
538 ÷ 96 = 5.61
Rounding off, we will get:

A:C = 3:2
Step-by-step explanation:
A:B = 7:8 is a proportion relationship and can be represented using fractions:
[tex]\displaystyle{\frac{A}{B} = \frac{7}{8}}[/tex]
Similarly the proportion relation B:C = 12:7 can be represented as:

Multiply the first equation by the second
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{A}{B}\;\mathsf{x}\;\frac{B}{C} = \frac{7}{8}\;\mathsf{x}\;\frac{12}{7}[/tex]
This evaluates to
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{A}{C} = \frac{12}{8}[/tex]

The average of five numbers is 72, two of them are 70 and 74. Find the average of the other three numbers.
The average of the other 3 numbers is 72.
Average or mean is a measure of central tendency which calculates the central point of a data-set.
Average of a set of numbers is calculated by taking the sum of the numbers and dividing it by the total frequency of the numbers.
If 3 numbers a , b and c are taken then the average is equal to
(a+b+c) ÷3
Given average of 5 numbers is 72.
Therefore the sum of the numbers is 72 × 5 = 360
Two of the numbers are 70 and 74 .
Sum of the remaining 3 numbers = 360 - (70 + 74) = 360 - 144 = 216
Average of the 3 numbers = 216 ÷ 3 = 72
Therefore the average of the remaining 3 numbers is 72.

a number is chosen at random from the positive, even integers from 2 to 50. find the probability that the number chosen is divisible by 5 or 8.
The probability that the number chosen is dividible by 5 or 8 is 0.306.
According to the given question.
A number is chosen at random from the positive even integers from 2 to 50.
Now the total positive intergers from 2 to 50 which are divisible by 5 or 8 are {5, 8, 10, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25,30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 48, 50}
So, there are total 15 positive intergers from 2 to 50 which are divisible by 5 or 8.
⇒ Total number of favourable outcomes = 15
And the total positive integers from 2 and 50 is 49.
⇒ Total number of outcomes is 49.
As we know that, proabability is calculated by taking the ratio of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.
Therefore, the probability that the number chosen is divisible by 5 or 8
= 15/49

• Correlation means that there is a relationship or patter between the two variables. A scatter plot displays the data about the two variables as a set of points in the x-y plane and it is a useful tool for determining if there is a correlation between the variables.
• Causation means the one event causes other event to occur. It can only be determined by designed experiment.

• Causation explicitly applies only to cases where action P causes outcome Q whereas correlation is simply a relationship.
Correlation doesn’t prove causation.
There could be third variable associated with the size of engine which caused the truck to have greater horsepower.

We want to change the digit in the number 5,341 into 5,841.
We also need to find the difference between the numbers.
The number 3 is in the 3rd place (hundreds) of the number 5,341 as a digit will be replaced by 8 to form the number 5,841.
This means that 300 is replaced by 800 because the third place in both the numbers is of hundreds.
The difference between 800 and 300 is:
800 - 300 = 500.
