The answer is 7/69.
There are 8 black-haired children among 24 children. The probability of <span>randomly selecting black haired children for the first time is:
P1 = 8/24 = 1/3
Now, there are 7 black-haired children left among 23 children. The probability of </span>randomly selecting black haired children for the second time is:
P2 = 7/23
Since we want both of these events to occur together, we will multiply their probabilities:
P = P1 * P2 = 1/3 * 7/23 = 7/69
Division x=81/3 that’s right
67.27
155 = 1.55 x 43.4 = 67.27
0.4(420) = 4(420)/10
(0.4 is essentially 4/10)
1680/10 = 168
There are 168 sixth graders
Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
