Ok so out of curiousity to check the answer and I did and when I submited the answer here is the reply I got: YSorry! Your answer is incorrect. Correct answer 10.392 :(
Hi,Yes, I am willing to help with all the questions if you agree to post one or two at a time. It appears that you are on a subscription basis, so you should not be charged for each question. The difference is because I used 2 decimal places to get the answer of 10.39%. The question did not specify to round to 3 decimal places. I will change the rounding to 3 decimal places in the answer file, you will see it is the same.
Ok great I can post them how much time do you have and how fast can u answer them? It will only allow me to post and answer one at a time on my computer but I need to have them asap? Thanks
