7 0

Percent formula : is / of = % / 100

16 is what percent of 72...

is = 16
of = 72
% = x

sub into the formula
16/72 = x / 100
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(72)(x) = (100)(16)
72x = 1600
x = 1600/72
x = 22.2 % <===

Deshawn has two bags of marbles. The first bag has 2 blue, 3 orange, and 5 red. The second bag has 4 pink, 10 blue, and 6 brown.

madreJ [45]

Answer: 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bag-I has 2 blue,3 orange, 5 red

Bag-II has 4 Pink,10 blue, 6 brown

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-I

$\Rightarrow ^2C_1$

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-I

$\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1$

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-II

$\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1$

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-II

$\Rightarrow ^{20}C_1$

The probability that he will pull out a blue marble from each bag is

$\Rightarrow P=\text{Probability of pulling a blue marble from bag-I}\times \text{Probability of pulling a blue out bag-II}$

$\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^2C_1}{^{10}C_1}\times \dfrac{^{10}C_1}{^{20}C_1}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{10}\times \dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{1}{10}$
