Answer:

34 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the remaining sample has 30.26 grams of radioactive substance, and 11% of it decayed, that means that 30.26 grams is 89% of the original. Let the original be x.

30.26=0.89x

Multiply both by one hundred

3026=89x

Divide both by 89

34=x

x=original, so the original was 34 grams.

23800 is 34% of annual income. what is the income?
BARSIC [14]

Hey there!

If you ever see the word "is" in a story problem, it means that there is an equal sign there. Let's apply that to this.

23800 =(is) 0.34i (income)

Now, we can solve for i by dividing.

23800/0.34= 70,000

Therefore, the annual income is $70,000.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

An opaque bag contains 5 green marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 2 red marbles. If a marble is drawn at random what are the ODDS of d
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The First Question !

This is simple,

So first we set this problem up

2 Red + 3 Blue + 7 Green = 12 Total Marbles

The formula for calculator probability is

# of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

The number of favorable outcomes we have is 3 because we are trying to find the probability of pulling out a blue marble

The number of possible outcomes is 12 because we have 12 total marbles

3/12 simplifies to 1/4 which is .25

The probability of drawing a blue marble is 0.25 or 25%

Second Question!

The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25. The second useful rule is the Sum Rule.
