So, there are 3 Apples. Oranges = 2 * 3 Apples = 6 Oranges.
The sum of the number of Oranges and Apples represent half of the Cherries.
Mathematically speaking, o + a = 1/2 c <=> 3 + 6 = 1/2c. => c=18.
So there are 18 Cherries.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

<h2>30% is enrolled out-of-district.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the word problem, the number is increased by 50%.

To increase a number by a percent, multiply the number and the percent.

We can do this by changing both percents to decimals.

To change a percent to a decimal, divide it by 100.

20/100 = 0.2

50/100=0.5

The number is INCREASED by 50% so 0.5 would become 1.5.

0.2 * 1.5=0.3

<h2>0.3 = 30%.</h2>

A bag contains 6 green counters, 4 blue counters and 2 red counters. Two counters are drawn from the bag at random without repla
Svetach [21]

Answer:

24.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words we need to find the probability of getting one blue counter and another non-blue counter in the two picks. Based on the stats provided, there are a total of 12 counters (6 + 4 + 2), out of which only 4 are blue. This means that the probability for the first counter chosen being blue is 4/12

Since we do not replace the counter, we now have a total of 11 counters. Since the second counter cannot be blue, then we have 8 possible choices. This means that the probability of the second counter not being blue is 8/11. Now we need to multiply these two probabilities together to calculate the probability of choosing only one blue counter and one non-blue counter in two picks.

\frac{4}{12} * \frac{8}{11} =   \frac{32}{132} or 0.2424 or 24.24%
