Usually, the more often it's compounded, the better. That's assuming that the percent is equal through all comparisons, however.
Answer:
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of bicycles
y = number of cars
x + y = 80 (1)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
From (1)
x = 80 - y
Substitute x = 80 - y into (2)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
2(80 - y) + 4y = 270
160 - 2y + 4y = 270
- 2y + 4y = 270 - 160
2y = 110
y = 110/2
y = 55
Substitute y = 55 into (1)
x + y = 80 (1)
x + 55 = 80
x = 80 - 55
x = 35
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
(14,-1) is the answer to the question
The length of the rectangle is 16.
To find the probability of both of these occurring, you will multiply the probability of choosing a blue marble by the probability of choosing a purple marble (with no replacement after the first one).
Probability of choosing a blue marble: 17/120
Probability of choosing a purple marble: 18/119
17/120 x 18/119 = 3/140
You will have a 3/140 chance of both of these occurring.
