Is this supposed to be simplified orrr?
In a standard shuffled deck of 52 cards, half of the cards are black and half of the cards are red: (26 black cards, 26 red cards).
Since we are interested in pulling a black card first, the probability is 26/52.
Without replacing the card we have chosen, we are left with 51 total cards in the entire deck (25 black cards, 26 red cards).
Now that we want to pull a red card, we know that the probability will be 26/51.
Since we are interested in both events occurring simultaneously, we must multiply the probability of the first by the probability of the second, aka: (26/52) * (26/51)
The answer we are given is 0.2549
Answer:
1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
first we find the probability of picking a 2 and then a 5 , then we multiply the two probabilities
probability of picking a 2 on the first time is 1/4 as there is 1 2 and 4 total cards.
the probability of picking a 5 is also 1/4 as there is 1 5 and 4 total cards
so the probability of picking a 2 and then a 5 would be 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16
If Clarissa had $18,000 in sales during the month of November, and she earns an 8% commission on the dollar value of her sales, then we first need to find out how much she made on commissions alone for the month of November. We can do that by multiplying the percentage by the amount of money she made off of sales.
To do this, we first must convert the percentage into a decimal. We can do this by either dividing the percent by 100, or (my personal shortcut) just shifting the decimal point over 2 places to the left.
8% = 0.08
Now, we multiply the decimal by the amount she made
0.08 * 18000 = 1440
So Clarissa made $1,440 off of commissions. But that's not what the question is asking. It wants to know what percentage of Clarissa's income for the month of November was from commissions. We can do this by adding her base pay to the amount she made from commissions, and then dividing the amount she got from commissions by the total amount she made for the month of November.
2400 + 1440 = 3840
1440 / 2840 = 0.375
We can convert this decimal back to a fraction by multiplying by 100
0.375 = 37.5%
37.5% of Clarissa's pay for the month of November was from commissions.
Hope that helped =)
