Answer: 0.0160768

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the cosmetic be 100.

From the question,

Walgreens is offered a chain discount on cosmetics from Libby Corp. of 8%, 5% and 2%. The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 8/100) × (1 - 5/100) × (1 - 2/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.08) × (1 - 0.05) × (1 - 0.02)

= 85.652

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 85.652

Discount = 14.348

Discount percent = 14.348% = 0.14348

Roma Company offers a chain discount of 7%, 6% and 4%.

The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 7/100) × (1 - 6/100) × (1 - 4/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.07) × (1 - 0.06) × (1 - 0.04)

= 83.9232

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 83.9232

Discount = 16.0768

Discount percent = 16.0768% = 0.0160768

The highest discount offered is 0.0160768.

A television game show has 11 ​doors, of which the contestant must pick 3. Behind 3 of the doors are expensive​ cars, and behind
bezimeni [28]

For there to be 1 car, we consider two possible outcomes:

The first door opened has a car or the second door opened has a car.

P(1 car) = 2/6 x 4/5 + 4/6 x 2/5

P(1 car) = 8/15

For there to be no car in either door

P(no car) = 4/6 x 3/5

P(no car) = 2/5

Probability of at least one car is the sum of the probability of one car and probability of two cars:

P(2 cars) = 2/6 x 1/5

= 1/15

P(1 car) + P(2 cars) = 8/15 + 1/15

= 3/5
