Answer:

<h2>0.035</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on probabilty since there are a number of entries to be selected from which are 85 entries, the chances of winning one of the prices if selected is

the number of entries you have/ total number of entries

given that the total entry is 85

and that you have one entry

Since there are three gift baskets you have three chances to win one.

hence there will be a total of three draws, and after each draw, there won't be a replacement of the previous winner (as the winners are three distinct persons).

Hence the probability of winning a draw for the gift basket is  

=1st draw+2nd draw+3rd draw

= 1/85+1/84+1/83

= 0.0117+0.0119+0.012

= 0.035

Answer: Sal used a debit card and paid a total of $324.80 for the stereo. (I took the test too)

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply $21.30 by 18 months. Then subtract the interest, $58.60, from the product because Sal paid immediately with a card which implies using a debit card. You get $324.80.
