if you add all the numbers on your mobile phone , what is the answer ?
0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 are in your mobile phone . therefore 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45 answer is a
a = 10 - 1 b = 1 + a c = b / 2 d = 10 - 1 e = c * d
a ) 0 , b ) 5 , c ) 383 , d ) 875 , e ) 965
c
divide(multiply(190, 192), const_4)
what is the sum of the integers from - 190 to 192 inclusive ?
"sum / n = average . sum = ( average ) ( n ) average = a + b / 2 = 190 + 192 / 2 = 1 number of items ( n ) = b - a + 1 = 192 - ( - 190 ) + 1 = 192 + 191 = 383 . sum = average * n = 1 * 383 = 383 . answer is c"
a = 190 * 192 b = a / 4
a ) 22 % , b ) 23 % , c ) 24 % , d ) 26 % , e ) 34 %
d
divide(22, divide(subtract(const_100, 15), const_100))
in a certain candy store , 22 % of the customers are caught sampling the candy and are charged a small fine , but 15 % of the customers who sample the candy are not caught . what is the total percent of all customers who sample candy ?
since 15 % of the customers who sample the candyare notcaught , then 88 % of the customers who sample the candyarecaught : { % of customers who sample candy } * 0.85 = 0.22 ; { % of customers who sample candy } = 0.259 answer : d .
a = 100 - 15 b = a / 100 c = 22 / b
