One card is randomly selected from a deck of cards. find the odds against drawing a blackblack fivefive.

1 answer:

6 0

Since there are 2 black suites and there are 26 (1/2) black cards in a deck, and there is 1 five per suite, there are 2 black fives. Therefore, since there are 52 cards in a deck, there is a 2/52 you draw a black 5. To find the odds against that, we get 1-2/52=52/52-2/52=50/52 due to that we want to find the probability of not drawing a black 5 so we subtract the chances of getting that from the equation

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more, this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

$\frac{144}{x}=\frac{120}{100}$
