A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail? Answer in % form.
If someone could show me the steps I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Probability that gear 1 will fail = 5/100 (upto 10 years) 
and 8/100 (after 10 years)

Probability that both will fail = 5/100 * 8/100
= 40/10000
= 0.4 %

The ice cream shop sells sundaes for $2 each and banana splits for $3 each. One day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana sp
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$82 sundaes

$74 banana split

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

Cost of sundaes =$2 each

Cost of banana split =$3 each

Let the number of sundaes bought be x

And the number of banana split bought be y

The total is x+y

The shop sold 8 more Sundaes than the Banana split

x=8+y—-------1

Total amount made = $156

Therefore the system of equation for the situation is

x=8+y----—----------1

2x+3y=156---------2

But x=8+y

8+y+y=156

8+2y=156

2y=156-8

2y=148

Divide both sides by 2

y=148/2

y=74

On That day they sold $74 banana split

And also they sold x=8+74=$82 sundaes
