To find the better buy we have to find the cost per pen for each.

1. 20 pens for $1.60 -> 1.60/20 = .08 cents per pen.
25 pens for $2.25 -> 2.25/25 = .09 cents per pen.

The best buy is 20 pens for $1.60 because it's cheaper per pen.

2. 13 berries for $2.60 -> 2.60/13 = .20 cents per berry
17 berries for $3.06 -> 3.06/17 = .18 cents per berry

The best buy is 17 berries for $3.06 because it's cheaper per berry.

Gloria had two sets of alphabet cards (A–Z). She mixed the two sets together to form a single stack of cards. Then Gloria drew t

grin007 [14]

She has 52 card all together so she has a probability of drawing on the first draw 4 L's or R's because their are two sets of alphabet cards. So that is 4/52 or 1/13 to the lowest term. Second turn she only has 51 cards to draw from and still has 4 L's and R's so that would be 4/51 and on the third try she has only 50 cards left so that would be 4/50 or 2/25 to the lowest term. Now multiply all three factions 1/13 x 4/51 x 2/25 = 8/16575 meaning out of the three draws she has a probability of getting a L or R, 8 out of 16575 each draw.

What value of x will make this equation true? (2x)3 + 2x = 222?

Alex_Xolod [135]

6x+2x=222, which means 8x=222. Thus, x=222/8, which is 27.75.
