<span>60 patients x 40 % = 24 and 80 patients x 30 % = 24. So 24 + 24 = 48</span>

The total number of patients experienced unwanted side effects is 48

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

60 patients are given drug A and drug A has unwanted side effects in 40% of the cases.

So, the number of patients experienced side effects for drug A = 40% of 60 =(0.40*60)= 24

Now 80 patients are given drug B and it has side effects in 30% of the cases.

So, the number of patients experienced side effects for drug B = 30% of 80 =(0.30*80)= 24

So, the total number of patients experienced unwanted side effects = 24+24 =48

A chef got 7 bags of onions. The red onions came in bags of 8 and the yellow onions came in bags of 3. If the chef got a total o
frutty [35]

Answer:

\#\text{ of 8-onion bags: }4,\\\#\text{ of 3-onion bags: }3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of bags with 8 onions and let b be the number of bags with 3 onions. We have the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}a+b=7,\\8a+3b=41\end{cases}

Subtracting b from both sides of the first equation, we get a=7-b. Substitute this into the second equation:

8(7-b)+3b=41,\\56-8b+3b=41,\\56-5b=41,\\-5b=-15,\\b=\boxed{3}

Therefore, the number of 8-onion bags is:

a=7-b,\\a=7-3,\\a=\boxed{4}

Thus, the chef got 4 8-onion bags and 3 3-onion bags.
