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 %

a woman has $28,000. part is invested for one year in a certificate of deposit paying 7% interest, and the remaining amount in c
alexira [117]

Answer:

Amount invested at 7% = 16000

Amount invested at 9% = 12000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at 7% and y be the amount invested at 9%.

Since the total amount invested is $28000, therefore, we can set up the first equation as:

x+y=28000

Secondly, we are give that sum of two investments is $2200. Therefore, we can write the second equation as:

0.07x+0.09y=2200

Now we need to solve these two equations to get the values of x and y.

First of all, we multiply the second equation with 100 in order to get rid of decimal values.

(0.07x+0.09y)*100=2200*100\\7x+9y=220000

Let us use substitution method here. First of all we will solve for y from first equation and plug that into second equation.

y=28000-x

7x+9(28000-x)=220000\\7x+252000-9x=220000\\-2x=-32000\\x=16000

Therefore, amount invested at 7% is $16000 and amount invested at 9% is 28000-16000=$12000.

Mary has a pink dress, a blue dress, and a yellow dress. She has a black pair of shoes and a white pair. How many dress and shoe
Yanka [14]
There are two ways to solve this. 
The first way is logically. 
Mary can 
-wear a pink dress with black shoes   -wear a pink dress with white shoes
-wear a blue dress with black shoes   -wear a blue dress with white shoes
-wear a yellow dress with black shoes   - wear a yellow dress with white shoes

Count them up, and you'll get six combinations! 

Another way is simply mathematically, which is easier in my opinion. 

3 (different colored dresses) × 2 (different colored shoes) = 6 (combos)
