35% of a number is 17. Work out the number.

1 answer:

7 0

Well first you would set up your ratio, 17/x = 35/100. You are trying to find x. To do so you cross multiply and divide. So first you have 17× 100 which equals 1700. The you divide that number by 35 which is around 48 like you said. I usually just round to the hundredths place so just cut it at 48.57 but to be safe say approximately 48.57

Suppose that 43% of a town's population have blue eyes, 46% have blonde hair, and 24% have both blue eyes and blonde hair. What

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We need to find the probability of the event:

having blue eyes or blond hair

This event is the union of the events:

A: having blue eyes.

B: having blond hair.

So, we need to find the probability P(A ∪ B). In order to do so, we can use the following formula:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

We know that the probability of the intersection of A and B (having both) is

P(A ∩ B) = 24%

Also:

P(A) = 43%

P(B) = 46%

Then, using those values into the above formula, we find:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A ∪ B) = 43% + 46% - 24%

P(A ∪ B) = (43 + 46 - 24)%

P(A ∪ B) = 65%
