Answer:

11.42 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first box bought, there is a 100% chance of getting a unique toy (since you still don't have any). E₁ = 1.

After that, there is a 4 in 5 chance of getting a unique toy from the next box, the expected number of boxes required is:

$E_2 = (\frac{4}{5})^{-1} = 1.25$

For the next unique toy, there is now a 3 in 5 chance of getting it:

$E_3 = (\frac{3}{5})^{-1} = 1.67$

Following that logic, there is a 2 in 5 chance of getting the 4th unique toy:

$E_4 = (\frac{2}{5})^{-1} = 2.5$

Finally, there is a 1 in 5 chance to get the last unique toy:

$E_5 = (\frac{1}{5})^{-1} = 5$

The expected number of boxes to obtain a full set is:

$E=E_1+E_2+E_3+E_4+E_5\\E=1+1.25+1.67+2.5+5\\E=11.42\ boxes$

Answer: s = 36

Step-by-step explanation: The key to solving multistep equations is isolating the variable. This is why I first subtracted 14 on each side. This left me with 1/3s=12. Then, to isolate "s" even more, I didvided by 1/3 on each side. This gave me s = 36 as an answer.

To divide by a fraction, use "keep change flip." Keep the first mumber, change division to multiplication, and flip the fraction. I included a picture of me doing this.
