30% of the fine is $240

Let x = fine
$.3x = 240 \\ x = 240 \div .3 \\ x = 800$
The fine is $800

30%=30/100=0,30

240x0,30=72 $72 total fine

Fed [463]

Answer:

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{6}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The question describes an event where two counters are taken out of a bag that originally contains 11 counters, 5 of which are white.

Let's call W to the event of picking a white counter in any of the two extractions, and N when the counter is not white. The sample space of the random experience is

$\Omega=\{WW,WN,NW,NN\}$

We are required to compute the probability that only one of the counters is white. It means that the favorable options are

$A=\{WN,NW\}$

Let's calculate both probabilities separately. At first, there are 11 counters, and 5 of them are white. Thus the probability of picking a white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{11}$

Once a white counter is out, there are only 4 of them and 10 counters in total. The probability to pick a non-white counter is now

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{10}$

Thus the option WN has the probability

$\displaystyle P(WN)=\frac{5}{11}\cdot \frac{6}{10}=\frac{30}{110}=\frac{3}{11}$

Now for the second option NW. The initial probability to pick a non-white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{11}$

The probability to pick a white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{10}$

Thus the option NW has the probability

$\displaystyle P(NW)=\frac{6}{11}\cdot \frac{5}{10}=\frac{30}{110}=\frac{3}{11}$

The total probability of event A is the sum of both

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{3}{11}+\frac{3}{11}=\frac{6}{11}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{6}{11}}$

Eileen is taking a trip to Louisiana and expects to drive 850 miles round trip. If her car gets 23 miles per gallon, and the cos

bazaltina [42]

The answer is <span>$103.

To determine </span><span> how much Eileen will spend on gasoline, first we need to calculate how many gallons she needs.
If she drives 850 miles and </span><span>her car gets 23 miles per gallon, we can use the proportion:
850 miles : x gallons = 23 miles : 1 gallon
Crossing the products:
x = 850 miles </span>× 1 gallon ÷ 23 miles
x = 36.96 gallons

Thus, Eileen needs 36.96 gallons of gas. If the cost per gallon of gas is$2.79, using the proportion:
36.96 gallons : x = 1 gallon : <span>$2.79
x = 36.96 gallons </span>× $2.79 <span>÷ 1 gallon
x = </span>$103.12
x ≈ $<span>103</span>

What is the area of triangle 1

Feliz [49]

Using the Pythagorean triples, one side is 3 units long, one side is 4 units long, and one side is 5 units long. To find the area of a right triangle, multiply length times width. Then divide total by two.

So,

(3•4)/2= 6 units
After scaling units, you should get 24 units.
