First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>
That is the answer , i looked it up for you my self :)
Let us say Karen received X amount of money. Then Natasha has received (X+210).
The ratio that the money divided was 2:5.
X/(X+210) = 2/5
5X = 2(X+210)
3X = 420
X = 140
Total money shared
= X+(X+210)
= 140+140+210
= 490
So the total money shared was $490.
