The number is 12
16 plus 8 = 24/ 2= 12
The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.
<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>
let
- cost of redwood = x
- cost of pine = y
50x + 70y = 280
100x + 60y = 440
Multiply (1) by 2
100x + 140y = 560
100x + 60y = 440
subtract to eliminate x
80y = 120
y = 120/80
y = $1.5
substitute y = 1.5 into (1)
50x + 70y = 280
50x + 70(1.5) = 280
50x + 105 = 280
50x = 280 - 105
50x = 175
x = 175 / 50
x = $3.5

2.25x + 2.65y > = 8 (thats greater then or equal)
Answer:
If a and b are two events such that:
b⊂a
Then it is obvious that p(b)≤p(a)
where p denotes the probability of an event.
<em>" Because as one event is contained in the other that means it has possibility to contain more favourable outcomes than the other while the probability of both the events is calculated by taking the total number of outcomes to be equal "</em>
Let us consider an <u>example</u> as:
We roll a die;
so the total outcomes are: {1,2,3,4,5,6}.
Now let b denotes the event that the number is an even number less than 5.
Number of favourable outcomes( {2,4} )=2
p(b)= 2/6
let a denotes that the number is less than 5.
Then Number of favourable outcomes( {1,2,3,4} )=4
p(a)=4/6
clearly b⊂a
also we could see that p(b)<p(a)
50 percent because 30 plus 20 is 50 so 100-50 which is 50 percent of retail price
