Answer:

52.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be kids who have a fever, and B be kids who have a sore throat, so

Based on the given information we have

P(A) = 70%, P(B) = 40%, and P(B|A) = 30%   (B|A is read as "B given A", which means probability of B happening given that A has already happened)

We are asked to find P(A|B), the probability of a kid having a fever given that we already know he has a sore throat.

Step 1:  First find P(A and B), this is the probability of a kid having both a fever and a sore throat.  We use the formula

        P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)    

We have 2 of these values listed above, so we plug them in...

       30% = P(A and B)/70%

 This give us a value for P(A and B) which equals 21%  [multiply both sides by 70% to isolate P(A and B), (30%)(70%) = 21%]

Now we flip the equation to P(A|B), which is

     P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

We have 2 of the values, so we plug them in...

     P(A|B) =  21%/40%

  This gives us a value of 52.5%   (divide 21% by 40%)

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Aaron=1188

Beth=1782

Charlie=2970

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Ratio 6:9:15

Total amount to e shared N=£5940

Generally the Ratio can divide the Total amount mathematically as follows

Ratio

6:9:15/3=2:3:5

Sum of ratio

2+3+5=10

For Aaron

A=\frac{2}{10} *5940

A=1188

For Beth

B=\frac{3}{10} *5940

B=1782

For Charlie

C=\frac{2}{10} *5940

C=2970

Check answer

A+B+C=5940\\1188+1782+2970=5940
