Belvedere goes to the store and buys a soccer ball for $50. The store
is running a discount of 10%. What is the price of the soccer ball after
the discount?

$45 after the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.

           $50 is the total amount and make the 10% a decimal

x(100) = 50(10)

100 = 500

100 ÷ 500

x = 5     <-- We have to subtract this amount from the total

$50 - $5 = $45 <-- total after the discount

Hope this helps!!

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

answer is 67%
