If an item that originally cost $13 is increased to $19, what is the percentage of increase in the item?

1 answer:

4 0

Original cost (OC) = $13

New cost (NC) = $19

Percentage increase = $\frac{NC - OC}{OC} *100 = \frac{19 - 13}{13} * 100 = \frac{6}{13} * 100$

= 46.15 %

A bag contains 6 red marbles and 2 white marbles. A marble is selected, kept out of the bag, and then another marble is selected

Finger [1]

Answer:

11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 marbles total. If they are being selected from twice with one missing, we could add 8 and 8 - 1 together to get the denominator for the probability.

8 + (8 - 1) = 15

We have to assume the first marble taken was red, so we will have 6 plus 6 - 1 red marbles to choose from for our numerator.

6 + (6 - 1) = 11

The probability of consecutively selecting two red marbles is 11/15.
