How do find the original amount after percentage has been taken off?
Let's think money. If 5% was taken off, then the amount paid represents 95% of the original amount. So, to find the original amount, think that 95% of the original amount = paid amount And to solve, divide the amount paid by the percent you paid. In general divide by (100% minus the percent taken off).
Why is division by zero undefined?
Division by zero is undefined because when the limit of 1/x is taken from the positive side of the graph it approaches infinity but when it approaches from the negative side it is negative infinity; thus, becoming an infinite discontinuity this kind of discontinuity makes it undefined. Hope this helps You learn about limits in Calculus. -Joshua Garrison

What does alpha mean in reference to mutual funds?
AlphaA coefficient which measures risk-adjusted performance, factoring in the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market. A high value for alpha implies that the stock or mutual fund has performed better than would have been expected given its beta (volatility).Alpha is basically a technical measure of performance over a capital price asset model (CAPM). It is based on the amount of risk taken compared to the return expected. If a fund performs better than the benchmark, the alpha is increased (0.0% represents a matching return and may indicate your active fund is a closet index fund; any number above or below would indicate the risk you assumed). Alpha is risk.
How do you get the number 50 by making an equation using the numbers 2 0 0 and 9?
There are several ways: * .5 x (91+9) = .5(100) = 50. * [(1+9)! / 9!] x 5 = 10 x 5 = 50 * 51 - 9/9 = 51 - 1 = 50 The first and last methods are of course only valid if the numbers are allowed to be taken as digits, rather than specific numerical values.
