Answer: The probability he didn't take an SAT prep course = 0.985

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first assume that he took SAT prep.

Surveys indicate that 5% of the students who took the SATs had enrolled in an SAT prep course. 30% of the SAT prep students were admitted to their first choice college. That is,

30/ 100 of 5 = 0.3 × 5 = 1.5

The probability he did take an SAT prep course and got admission into the college of first choice will be

P(prep) = 1.5 / 100 = 0.015

The probability he didn't take an SAT prep course will be:

P(not prep) = 1 - P(prep)

P(not prep) = 1 - 0.015

P(not prep) = 0.985

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{B. 10 weeks, \$310 }}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two conditions:

\begin{array}{lrcll}(1) & y & = & 25x + 60 & \\(2) & y & = & 30x + 10 & \\ & 25x + 60 & = & 30 x + 10 & \text {Set (1) = (2)} \\ & 50 & = & 5x & \text{Subtracted 25x from each side} \\& x & = & 10 &\text{Divided each side by 5} \\\end{array}\\$ $\\\boxed{ \textbf{The number of weeks is }x = 10}\\

   

    Bella: y = 25x + 60 = 25(10) + 60 = 250 + 60 = 310  

Heather: y = 30x + 10  = 30(10) +  10 = 300 + 10  = 310
