A typical high school student consumes 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. As part of a new nutrition plan, each member of the track

team plans to lower the sugar he or she consumes by at least 20% for the coming year.

Answer:

54 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that they start off with 67.5 pounds of sugar and they need to reduce it by 20%. We also know from the problem that we want to know the MAXIMUM amount of sugar consumed by each track member.

The typical high school student consumes about 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. That is our first piece of the problem

67.5

We now know that 20% of it needs to be reduced. This means that we can multiply it by 0.8 because that is 20% less than 100% of the sugar.

67.5 x 0.8

This leads the answer to be 54 Pounds

Hope this helped :D

A person in a casino decides to play 3 games of blackjack. let w denote a win and l denote a loss. define the event a as "the pe
Ann [662]

Answer: The answer is {(w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l), (l, w, w)}.



Step-by-step explanation: Given that a person in the casino is going to play 3 games of blackjack. Here, 'w' denotes a win and 'l' denotes a loss.  

Also, let 'A' be the event that the person wins at least one game of blackjack. Then, the outcomes of Event 'A' are

(i) win in 1st game     loss in 2nd game       loss in 3rd game

(ii) win in 1st game     win in 2nd game        loss in 3rd game

(iii) win in 1st game     loss in 2nd game       win in 3rd game

(iv) win in 1st game     win in 2nd game        win in 3rd game

(v) loss in 1st game     loss in 2nd game       win in 3rd game

(vi) loss in 1st game     win in 2nd game        loss in 3rd game

(vii) loss in 1st game     win in 2nd game       win in 3rd game

Thus, the outcomes of the event A are (w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l) and (l, w, w).

Thus, A = {(w, l, l), (w, w, l), (w, l, w), (w, w, w), (l, l, w), (l, w, l), (l, w, w)}.
