Answer:

1/5 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be easily solved by finding the probability of her picking one matching pair to leave in the suitcase (which results in pulling out exactly two matching pairs)

For the first sock, it does not matter what sock she picks.

For the second sock, there is only 1 out of the 5 socks left that would match the first one picked. Therefore, the probability that she pulls out exactly two matching pairs is 1/5 or 20%

the price for dinner in a resteraunt was $80. The customer paid an addition 7% meals tax and left a $15 tip. how much meals tax
Marrrta [24]
Multiply the price of the meal by the sales tax. Tips are added in after tax has been applied, so it would not be added in to calculate the tax.

Tax= Meal Cost * Tax %

=$80 * 7%
convert % to decimal (7% ÷ 100)

=80 * 0.07

=$5.60 sales tax paid


ANSWER: $5.60 was the sales tax the customer paid.

The sum of five times a number and -6 is -2
koban [17]
So,

"The sum of five times a number and -6"
5n + -6 or 5n - 6

"is -2"
= -2

5n - 6 = -2

Add 6 to both sides.
5n = 4

Divide both sides by 5.
n =  \frac{4}{5} \ or\ 0.8\ or\ 80\ percent
