In the drawer you have a total of 4 socks: the one you already have, two of a different color and one of the same color of the first sock. If the first two socks you draw are of a different color, the third one will surely be of the color of the first sock.

There are two different colors of socks, so in the worst case scenario you can draw two different socks. Therefore you need to draw one more sock of any color to have a matching pair.

2+1=3 :)

ra1l [238]

Answer:

$104,167 approx.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Morgan made $12,500 on the sale of a home.

Her commission she earns in selling homes is 12%

Step two:

let the cost of the home be x

So 12% of x= 12,500

12/100*x= 12,500

0.12*x=12,500

0.12x=12,500

divide both sides by 0.12

x= 12,500/0.12

x=$104,166.66

x=$104,167
