<h2>Answer:</h2>

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold:​ 181 textbooks

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

Let the total number of biology textbook sold be "a"

Let the total number of psychology textbook sold be "b"

If a textbook store sold a combined total of 438 biology and psychology textbooks in a week, then:

a + b = 438 ................... 1

If the number of psychology textbooks sold was 76 less than the number of biology textbooks sold, then;

b = a - 76 ...................... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1

a + (a-76) = 438

a + a - 76 = 438

2a = 438 + 76

2a = 514

a = 514/2

a = 257 biology textbooks

From equation 2;

b = a - 76

b = 257 - 76

b = 181 psychology textbooks

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold:​ 181 textbooks

Answer: No, Store A is charging $2.20 per rose while Store B is charging 2.166667 dollars per rose.

Step-by-step explanation:

11/5 = 2.2

(To check) 2.2 x 5 also equals $11

However, they are not selling roses at the same rate because if you were to do 2.2x6 it will equal 13.2.

13/6 = 2.166667

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Pr(blue) = 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue = 6

White = 7

Gray = 8

Total socks = 6+7+8 =21

Probability of picking blue = number of blue ➗ total number of socks

Pr(blue) = 6/21

Divide both by 3 to make the fraction to the lowest term.

Pr(blue) = 2/7
