The probability that she won't buy either car is .10. You add the two probabilities that were previously stated and then subtract them from 1.00.
.52 + .38 = .90
1.00 - .90 = .10
Hey there!
When dealing with percent word problems, the word "is" means equals. Let's see what we can do with your problem.
If the small school had 60% boys, it will have 40% girls. The number of boys <em>is</em> 48, which should equal 60% of the total, which we can model below, with t representing the total number of kids. In decimal form, 60% is 0.6.
0.6t=48
We divide both sides by 0.6.
t=80
Therefore, there are 80 total kids at the school.
We can also check our answer below.
BOYS: 0.6(80)= 48
GIRLS: 0.4(80)=32
48+32=80
I hope that this helps!
In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.
We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:
x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3
We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:
x = -3 * 3 = -9
