At a deli counter, someone buys: 1 3/4 pounds of ham for $14.50, 2 1/2 pounds of turkey for $26.25, and 3/8 of a pound of roast beef for $5.50. Which deli meat is the least expensive per pound?

Ham

Change each mixed numeral or fraction into a decimal number, and divide each price by its weight.

Ham: ($14.50)/(1 3/4 lb) = $14.50/(1.75 lb) = $8.29/lb

Turkey: ($26.25)/(2 1/2 lb) = $26.25/(2.5 lb) = $10.50/lb

Roast beef: ($5.50)/(3/8 lb) = $5.50/(0.375 lb) = $14.67/lb

The least expensive per pound is ham.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
