Answer:

  • drink cost: $1.75
  • slice of pizza cost: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d and p represent the costs of a drink and a pizza slice, respectively. The two orders have a value ...

  d + 3p = 8.50

  2d + 2p = 8.00

Subtracting the second equation from twice the first gives ...

  2(d +3p) -(2d +2p) = 2(8.50) -(8.00)

  4p = 9.00 . . . . . simplify

  p = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 4

Solving the first equation for d and putting in the value, we have

  d = 8.50 -3p = 8.50 -3·2.25 = 8.50 -6.75

  d = 1.75

The cost of a drink is $1.75; the cost of a pizza slice is $2.25.

Two cards are drawn in succession from a standard 52-card deck.1. What is the probability that the first card is red and the sec
rodikova [14]

Answer:

52 cards:

26 red and 26 black

P(R) = probability of picking a red card

P(B) = probability of picking a black card

P(R) = P(B) = ¹/₂

If with replacement:

P(R∩B) = (¹/₂)(¹/₂) = ¹/₄

If without replacement:

P(R∩B) = (¹/₂)(²⁶/₅₁) = ¹³/₅₁

8 Balls:

3 red and 5 white

P(R) = probability of picking a red ball

P(W) = probability of picking a white ball

P(R) = ³/₈

P(W) = ⁵/₈

If with replacement:

P(R∩W) ∪ P(W∩R) = (³/₈)(⁵/₈) + (⁵/₈)(³/₈)

= ¹⁵/₆₄ + ¹⁵/₆₄

= ³⁰/₆₄

= ¹⁵/₃₂

If without replacement:

P(R∩W) ∪ P(W∩R) = (³/₈)(⁵/₇) + (⁵/₈)(³/₇)

= ¹⁵/₄₂ + ¹⁵/₄₂

= ³⁰/₄₂

= ⁵/₇
