The Hudson Record Store is having a going-out-of-business sale. CDs normally sell for $18.00. During the first week of the sale, all CDs will sell for $15.00. Written as a fraction, what is the rate of discount? What is this rate expressed as a percent? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. During the second week of the sale, the same CDs will be on sale for 25% off the original price. What is the price of a CD during the second week of the sale?What is this rate expressed as a percent? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. During the second week of the sale, the same CDs will be on sale for 25% off the original price. What is the price of a CD during the second week of the sale?

The Hudson Record Store

1. As a fraction, discount rate = $3/$18 = 0.167

2. As a percentage, discount rate = 16.67%

3. Selling price during 2nd week = $13.50

4. The rate of the new selling price to the old is $13.50/$18 = 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of CDs = $18

1st Week, sold CDs at $15

Discount = $3 ($18 - $15)

As a fraction, discount rate = $3/$18 = 0.167

As a percentage, discount rate = 16.67%

2nd Week, sold CDs at $13.50 ($18 - (25% of $18))

Discount = $4.50 ($18 - $13.50)

Price during the second week of the sale = $13.50

The rate of discount = $4.50/$18 = 25%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
