<p>yeah, I definitely did not get 4. I’m pretty sure I got like 134 or something like that?</p>
<p>tournament q: 6 players play everyone TWICE:</p>
<p>30</p>
<p>Oh, tournament one was the wrestlers having to do 2 matches with every other wrestler. There were six wrestlers. Permutation formula: n!/(n-k)! = (6<em>5</em>4<em>3</em>2)/(4<em>3</em>2) = 6*5 = 30</p>
<p>^^ Overide, he had to sell over a 100 CD’s</p>
<p>40 hour week</p>
<p>Job #1
$10 per hour = $400</p>
<p>Job #2
$6 per hour + (10%)($12 per CD) =240 + 1.2x</p>
<p>400 = 240 + 1.2x</p>
<p>x = 134 CD’s</p>
<p>I said only two of the x<y<0 ones made sense, but I didn’t look carefully. I recall that one was
x+2<y+1
I hope I didn’t switch it around.
and LoseYourself, I agree with your last 3 answers.</p>
<p>400<240+(.1<em>12</em>x)</p>
<p>10 per hour for 40 hours vs 6 per hour with 10% of CD proceeds, CDs = $12</p>
<p>160<1.2*x
133.33<x
134 Cds.</p>
<p>So far 2 wrong and 1 omit in math. 0 wrong in reading. 0 wrong in Writing</p>
<p>Ah, damnit. I read another math question wrong then… </p>
<p>I would have gotten perfect on math, perfect on writing, and 3 omitted had I slowed down a little.</p>
<p>shouldn’t it be 1.2 instead of .12?</p>
<p>That’s exactly how I solved the CD problem and I got 1334, since you can’t sell a third of a CD, so to make more money then he was at his previous job, you would round up.</p>
<p>And yes, you round up. The reason I got 4 was because I solved for the hour, not the whole week or day or whatever it said to solve for.</p>
<p>Did anyone put equivocal for the scientists’ presentation question? It makes more sense that their presentation was misleading. It was very bad (deplorable) too, but I felt equivocal fit better.</p>

No, its .12 since he’s making 12% commission off of each CD he sells.
12% = .12 in a decimal</p>
<p>…the “that” question was wrong, not E</p>
<p>He made 10% commission off of CDs that sold for 12 dollars.</p>
<p>Sorry, mixed up the percentage commission he’s making and how much the CD’s cost.</p>
<p>@spkrap </p>
<p>The general consensus for that question seems to be E, according to this board…</p>
<p>do you remember the underlined portion/phrase? (does anyone remember)</p>
<p>Can anyone please answer my questions posed on page 20 of this thread?</p>
<p>@spkrap322</p>
<p>has shrunk was underlined. I might be wrong on that. That was also underlined. I’m 99% sure on that one.</p>
<p>It was something like:</p>
<p>“That the thieves” something, something, something “has [insert some verb I can’t remember here].”</p>
<p>I thought it was D, since the has was present, but earlier in the sentence, it said had.</p>
