There are 35 ways to get a sum of at least 3 when rolling 2 dice.

Out of the 36 possibilities, the only way to NOT have a sum of at least 3 is by rolling two 1's.

Answer: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

When two fair dice are thrown , then the sample space would be :

(1,1), (1,2) , (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)

(2,1), (2,2) , (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)

(3,1), (3,2) , (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)

(4,1), (4,2) , (4,3), (4,4), (45), (4,6)

(5,1), (5,2) , (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)

(6,1), (6,2) , (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

The total outcomes = 36

We can see that the only outcome in the sample space has sum less than 3 =(1,1)

Now, the number of outcomes in the sample space having sum at-least 3 = 36-1=35

Hence, the number of ways to obtain a sum of at least 3 = 35

Looking for some furniture for her new apartment, Susan visits the local swap meet in search of something cheap. Knowing that mo

Lady_Fox [76]

The amount that Susan will have to pay in interest is given by: Option A: $5.33 approx.

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

$\dfrac{a}{100} \times b$

For this case, we're given that:

Amonut Susan took out = $200
Interest rate = 32% annually (interest rates are usually expressed in annual (yearly) terms).
Amount paid off within 1 month

The interest was 32% annually, so in monthly terms, it would be 32/12 = 2.667% approx. (as there are 12 months in each year)

Since the balance was paid within one month, the interest would be simply 1 time calculated on the main balance.

Thus, we get:
Interest amount ≈ 2.667% of $200 = $\dfrac{200}{100} \times 2.667 = 5.334 \approx 5.33 \: \rm (in \: dollars)$
