The probability of the event total is equal to the multiplication of the probabilities of the smaller events that conform it. So we have the probability of 1/2 for heads over tails, and 1/4 of blue out of 4 colors, therefore, the total probability is:
p = (1/2)(1/4)
p = 1/8
1st year= 18000 x 0.85 = 15300
2nd year= 15300 x 0.85 = 13005
3rd year= 13005 x 0.85= 11054.25
1 cup of oil would equal up to 8 fluid ounces
Answer:
4n + 8 = -48
n = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using key words from the problem, you can set up an equation with the proper operations to solve for the variable. Product = multiplication, so the 'product of 4 and a number' = 4n. Increased = addition, so increased by 8 = 4n + 8. The word 'is' means equal to, so:
4n + 8 = -48
In order to solve for 'n', you use inverse (opposite) operations and whatever you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other:
Subtract 8: 4n + 8 - 8 = -48 - 8 or 4n = -56
Divide 4: 4n/4 = -56/4
Solve for 'n': n = -14
