Diana had chocolate, and ate some, leaving 0.75 of it for Sarah.

Sarah ate 18.5 grams of it and return the rest to Diana, which was 65% of the original chococate.

how much chocolate did Diana have at the beginning?

and the solution is:

0.75x-18.50=0.65x

0.75x-0.65x=18.50
0.1x=18.50
x=185

so Diana had 185 grams of chocolate.

A Nevada roulette wheel had 38 pockets, labeled as 0 00 1 2 3 ... 35 36. One bet is single number. If you bet $1 on a number (an

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

-0.0526

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable denoting the net gain(in dollars) for a single trial(one bet).

Assuming that each number in the wheel is equally likely, probability of the outcome being a victory is $\frac{1}{38}$ and probability of failure is $\frac{37}{38}$ . For a win, X takes value 35 and for a loss X takes value -1. So the model is,

$P(X=35) = \frac{1}{38}$

$P(X=-1) = \frac{37}{38}$

$P(X=i) = 0 \;if\; i \neq 38, i\neq -1$

The mean for one bet is $E(X) = \sum xP(X=x) = 35\times\frac{1}{38} - 1\times\frac{37}{38} = -0.0526$

432 tk. is divided amongst three workers A, B and C such that 8 times A's share is equal to 12 times B's share wich is equal to

Flura [38]

Answer:

A got 243 tk

Step-by-step explanation:

Supose the amount C got was "x"

12 times B's share is 6 times C's share, that would be:

B = 6x

Also, 8 times A's share is 12 times B's share, that would be:

8A = 12B

8A = 12(6x)

8A = 72x

A = 72x/8

A = 9x

Now, we can say:

A = 9x

B = 6x

C = x

We know total is 432, thus we can write and solve for x first:

A + B + C = 432

9x + 6x + x = 432

16x = 432

x = 432/16

x = 27

A got "9x", so plugging in x = 27, we know:

A got 9*27 = 243 tk
