Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} y = 52

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

\frac{1}{8} x +\frac{1}{2} ( -16 + x ) = 52

\frac{1}{8} x - 8 +   \frac{1}{2} x = 52

\frac{1}{8} x  +   \frac{1}{2} x - 8 = 52

Take common denominator to combine fractions

\frac{1}{8} x  +   \frac{4}{8} x  -8 = 52

\frac{5}{8} x - 8  = 52

Add 8 on both sides

\frac{5}{8} x   = 60

Multiply both sides by \frac{8}{5}

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.

A group of people were asked which of three ice cream flavors they prefer. The results are shown in the table.
olchik [2.2K]

Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of a person being over 20 years old and preferring strawberry ice cream is of 12%.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>

In this problem, there are 8 + 10 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 50 people, and of those, 6 are over 20 years old and prefer strawberry ice cream, hence the probability is given by:

p = 6/50 = 0.12 = 12%.
