In a basketball tournament, Team A scored 5 less than twice as many points as Team B. Team C scored 80 more points than Team B.
The combined score for all three teams was 983 points. Let the variable b represent Team B’s total points. The equation representing this scenario is (2b – 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983. Team B scored 227 total points. Which statement is true based on the information?
Team A scored 307 points.
Team C scored 307 points.
Team A scored twice as many points as Team C.
The sum of the points scored by the three teams is 841.
From previous experience 340/1982 is the past probability that a person has high blood pressure.
The division of that leads to 0.1715 that the next person will have high blood pressure. That number is roughly (very roughly) 1 person in 6. So if 6 people come in 1 will have high blood presure.
