Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
8 x
16 100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
Answer:
Step 1: Calculate the change by subtracting old cost ($50) from the new cost ($64)
Step 2: Divide that change by the old cost ($50). You will get a decimal number
Step 3: Convert the decimal number to a percentage by multiplying by 100%

Try this first
Answer:
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total wins be x
Let the total loss be y
If a baseball team's total wins and losses for one season is 162, this can be expressed as;
x + y = 162 ....... 1
If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses, this is expressed as;
2 times the number of losses = 2y
6 less than 2 times the number of losses = 2y - 6
Now, If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses this is expressed as;
x = 2y - 6 .... 2
Hence the required system of equation are;
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}
<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning
The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4= $3.5
2. Find its expected value
The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.
Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)=
(-12.5 -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.
