Charles' weight = Edith's weight + 20% of Edith's weight

We'll use a variable to represent Edith's weight, x.

The decimal form of 20% is 0.2.

60 = x + 0.2x

60 = 1.2x

x = 50

Edith's weight is 50kg.

Hope this helps!

a) The total number of vehicles is 2450, and the number of vehicles that didn't use a toll pass is 1566, so the probability is:

$P=\frac{1566}{2450}=0.6392$

b) If it's given that the vehicle is a truck, the number of trucks is 951, and the number of trucks that didn't use a toll pass is 610, so the probability is:

$P=\frac{610}{951}=0.6414$
