Answer:

If the number of blue tiles in the bag is 180, then the probability of randomly drawing a red tile equal to 1/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red tiles in a bag = 20

Let us assume the number of blue tiles in a bag = p

So, the total number of tiles in a bag  = Red Tiles + Blue tiles  

=  20 +  p

Now, let us find the probability of drawing a red tile:

\textrm{The probability of drawing a red tile} = \frac{\textrm{Total Number of red tiles}}{\textrm{Total Tiles}}\\= \frac{20}{20 + p}

But, here the probability of drawing a red tile = 1/10

\implies \frac{1}{10}  = \frac{20}{20+p} \\\implies 20 + p = 200\\\implies p = 200- 20 =  180

or, p = 180

Hence, if the number of blue tiles in the bag = 180, then the P Picking out a red tile ) is 1/10.

Which equation can be used to verify that 534 – 68 = 466?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

466 + 68

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily check a subtraction problem with an addition problem.

Calculate the sum of the subtracted and the difference. If the sum is equal to the minuend in the original subtraction problem, the answer is correct.

Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference

466 + 68 = 534

The statement '534 – 68 = 466' is correct.

Hope this helps.

What is the simple interest of a note that has a face value of $12,000, a rate of 8%, and a term of 1 year?
Tju [1.3M]

Solution:

Given:

\begin{gathered} P=\text{ \$}12,000 \\ R=8\text{ \%} \\ T=1year \end{gathered}

Using the simple interest formula,

\begin{gathered} I=\frac{PTR}{100} \\ I=\frac{12000\times1\times8}{100} \\ I=\text{ \$}960 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the simple interest is $960.
