Sociologists studying social mobility in the U. S. find that the probability that someone who began their career in the bottom 10% of earnings remains in the bottom 10% fifteen years later is 0.59. What is the probability that such a person moves to one of the higher income classes fifteen years later? (could you also explain it to me because I don't know how to do it)

7

step-by-step explanation:

income. 10x+1300

expenses 3x+(1800+1500)

expenses 3x+3300

to break even:

income = expense,

10x + 1300 = 3x + 3300,

solve for x.

236 cm 16 time 12 = 192

6 times 7 = 42

192+42

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
