<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Jessica sells = 240 books,

Josh sells = 16 books.

<h3>Given:-</h3>

The price of one book is = $15

Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.

In total, they have sold 256 books.

<h3>Solution:-</h3>

We can easily find the answer using variables.

Let,

Josh sold a total of x books whereas Jessica sold a total number of 15x books.

together they sold 16x books.

So we can form the equation

16x= 256

by solving this equation we will get x=16

So, Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 16×15=240 books in total.

Two number cubes are rolled.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

When two number cubes  are rolled,

Sample space= Total Possible outcome {11,22,33,44,55,66,12,21,13,31,14,41,15,51,16,61,23,32,24,42,25,52,26,62,34,43,35,53,36,63,45,54,46,64,56,65}=36

Probability of an event = \frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total possible outcome}}

Sum of 4 is obtained when ={13,31,22}=3

Probability of getting 4 when 2 number cubes are rolled= \frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}

Sum of the numbers is greater than 9= 10, 11,12={55,64,46,56,65,66}=6

Probability of getting(Sum of the numbers is greater than 9)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}
