Answer:

  24/35, about 69%

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given can be put into a 2-way table (attached). It shows that 0.48 of all calls were answered and resulted in a mortgage application. Altogether, 0.70 of all calls resulted in a mortgage application. Thus the conditional probability of interest is ...

  p(spoke to attendant | applied for a mortgage) = p(spoke & applied)/p(applied)

  = 0.48/0.70 = 24/35 ≈ 69%

8.5 + 62.5m   and     12 + 3.75m

Then, adding the two expressions together will give us a combined expression of:  10m + 20.5
