The cost of old computer is $ 357

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the cost of old computer

From given,

Cost of new computer = $ 709

Blairs new computer cost 5$ less than twice the cost of her old computer

Therefore,

Cost of new computer = twice the cost of old computer - 5

Cost of new computer = 2x - 5

709 = 2x - 5

2x = 709 + 5

2x = 714

Divide both sides by 2

x = 357

Thus the cost of old computer is $ 357

adell [148]
I made a probability tree. Pls. see attachment. 

Based on the probability tree I made, below are the probabilities

Probability of a student accepted at both Dartmouth and Harvard is:
50% x 40% = 20%

Probability of a student accepted at Dartmouth but not Harvard is:
50% x 60% = 30%

Probability of a student not accepted at Dartmouth but accepted in Harvard is:
50% x 20% = 10%

Probability of a student not accepted in both schools is:
50% x 80% = 40%

As you can see, these probabilities total 100%
