38b + 61t = 791.50....multiply by 27
54b + 50t = 923.....multiply by -19
-------------------
1026b + 1647t = 21370.5 (result of multiplying by 27)
-1026b - 950t = - 17537 (result of multiplying by -19)
------------------add
697t = 3833.50
t = 3833.50 / 697
t = 5.50 <=== cost of each towel

38b + 61t = 791.50
38b + 61(5.50) = 791.50
38b + 335.50 = 791.50
38b = 791.50 - 335.50
38b = 456
b = 456/38
b = 12 <== cost of each bed sheet

so the cost of 1 towel and 1 bed sheet is : 12 + 5.50 = 17.50

A bag contains 8 red balls and 6 blue
Andreyy89

Answer:

The probability that all 3 balls are red is 18.65%, while the probability that all 3 balls are blue is 7.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a bag contains 8 red balls and 6 blue balls, and Radhika takes three balls at random from the bag, without replacement, to calculate the probability that the three balls are the same color, the following mathematical operations must be performed:

8 + 6 = 14

14 = 100

8 = X

8 x 100/14 = X

800/14 = X

57.14 = X

100 - 57.14 = 42.86

0.5714 ^ 3 = X

0.1865 = X

0.4286 ^ 3 = X

0.0787 = X

Therefore, the probability that all 3 balls are red is 18.65%, while the probability that all 3 balls are blue is 7.87%.

Mrac [35]
To find the original price, you could use a variable to represent the original price in this equation;

Let p represent the original price

.70 × p=11.20

to solve this, we'd isolate the variable (p) 

p=11.20 ÷.70

p=16

The original price was $16
