For every nickel increase in price, the subscriptions to the perrysville paper decreases by 5 people. if 1,256 people currently subscribe to the paper, how many people will it if the price is increased by $0.25?

1,231 people

Step-by-step explanation:

1,256 people currently subscribe. $0.25 is 5 nickels, and for every nickel the price is raised, 5 people unsubscribe. That's 1 person per cent. 25 people will unsubscribe for every $0.25 the price is raised. 1,256-25 is 1,231, so 1,231 people will continue to subscribe after the price increase.

There are 70 questions. The probability of getting any one of the questions right is 0.2. That's because there are five answers only one of which is correct.

If there are 5 questions and you want to pick the right one the probability is 1/5. If you don't know how to find that, let your calculator walk you to the answer.

1
÷
5
=
And it will tell you that it is 0.2.

So if you blindly (not ) fill in the multiple choice answer sheet, the number you will get right is
(P(0.2) * The total number of questions or
0.2 * 70 = 14
Just pure dumb luck will give you 14 correct answers.
