8 0

The clothes weigh 14.77 kilograms.

Given:
Weight of suitcase = 50 pounds
Towels = 20% of weight
Shoes = 15% of weight
Clothes = 65% of weight

convert pounds to kilograms using proportion:

pounds 2.2 = 50
kilograms 1 x

2.2x = 50 ⇒ x = 50/2.2 ⇒ x = 22.73 kgs

Clothes : 22.73 kgs * 65% = 14.77 kgs
Towels : 22.73 kgs * 20% = 4.55 kgs
Shoes : 22.73 kgs * 15% = 3.41 kgs

Last year the backgammon club had 30 members. This year the club had 24 members. Find the percent of decrease in the number of m

Gnom [1K]

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Members last year = Old value = 30

Members this year = New year = 24

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 24 - 30

Change = -6

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = $\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{6}{30}*100$

Decrease percent = $\frac{600}{30}$

Decrease percent = 20%

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.

A spinner is divided equally into four colors, red, green, yellow and blue. Find the sum of the probabilities of spinning red, g

grandymaker [24]

Probability=number of specific outcomes / total number of possible outcomes...

Since they want to know the probability of getting all of the colors the probability is just one.

The sum of all probabilities is always equal to one. In this case:

1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4=1
