Answer:

41% probability that he will be bitten

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 30% probability that the hiker does not bring the repellant.

A 100-30 = 70% probability that the hiker brings the repellant.

If he brings the repellant, a 20% probability of being bitten.

If he forgets the repellant, a 90% probability of being bitten.

What is the probability that he will be bitten

Two cases:

Bitten with the repellant(20% of 70%)

Bitten without the repellant(90% of 30%). So

P = 0.2*0.7 + 0.9*0.3 = 0.41

41% probability that he will be bitten

A $40 backpack is in sale for $28. What is the % of change
aliya0001 [1]
$ 40 ..... 100 %
$ 28 ..... x %

x = \frac{28 \cdot 100}{40} = 70

The % of change is 70 %.

This is equivalent with:
- the final price ($ 28) is 70 % from the initial price ($ 40)
- the initial price ($ 40) was reduced with 30% giving the new price as:
40 - 40 \cdot \frac{30}{100} = 28

Each week, Rosario drives to an ice skating rink that is 120 miles away. The round-trip takes 2.75 hours. If he averages 55 mile
ycow [4]
Distance = rate * time

trip there,  120 = 55 *t
                   t = 2 and 2/11 hours

trip back,  120 = r * (2.75 - 2.181818181)  round trip time - time to get there
                 120 = r * .568181818181818
                  r = 211.2 miles per hour

thinking maybe you did not copy the problem accurately...thats pretty fast.
