Answer:

1) 0.338

2) 0.4065

3) 0.2555

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The probability that they will lose both contracts is the probability of losing contract 1 and 2 altogether:

The probability of losing contract 1 is: 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

The probability of losing contract 2, given that they lose contract 1 is: 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

The probability of losing both contracts is 0.65*0.52 = 0.338

2. The probability that they win only one contract is the probability they they win contract 1, lose contract 2, plus the probability that they lose contract 2, win contract 1:

0.35*(1-0.73) + (1-0.35)*0.48 = 0.0945 + 0.312 = 0.4065

3. The probability that they win both contract is

0.35 * 0.73 = 0.2555

Stilton is paying for a $25 meal. He has a 15%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, a 7% sales tax is applied
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$19.76

Step-by-step explanation:

First you turn the 15% to 0.15 and then you multiply it with $25 to get 3.75.

That isn't the meal though, but the discount you are going to get.

Now subtract 3.75 from 25 to get $21.25

After that multiply 21.25 with 7% which gets you 1.4875

Then, subtract 1.4875 from 21.25 to get 19.7625 which is rounded to $19.76
