Hey there!!

The total cost is $52.

She paid $12 more for the layer cake than the cupcake.

Let's take the price of the cupcake as $x. Then, the price of the layer cake would be $12 + x

The sum of these would result in $52.

... x + x + 12 = 52

... 2x + 12 = 52

... 2x = 52 - 12

... 2x = 40

... x = 20

Hence, the price of the cupcake is $20 and the price of the layer cake is $32.

Hope my answer helps!!

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The current probability of picking a red ball is \frac{x}{15}. When 5 more balls are added, the probability is 3/4. We can write a ratio for this problem:

\frac{x+5}{15+5} = \frac{3}{4}

When using cross multiplication to solve this, you get 3 * 20 = 4(x+5).

60 = 4x + 20

40 = 4x

x = 10 red balls

Anna35 [415]
You will need 46.08 grams.

48 • 0.04 (4%) = 1.92
multiply 48 by 0.04 to find what 4% of 48g is
48 - 1.92 = 46.08
then subtract the 4% to get the rest amount

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink  = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

In a recent survey, 18 people preferred milk, 29 people preferred coffee, and 13 people preferred juice as their primary drink for breakfast .

Total no of people is =  18 + 29 + 13 = 60

If a person is selected at random ,

The probability of person preferred milk = \frac{18}{60}

The probability of person preferred coffee = \frac{29}{60}

The probability of person preferred juice = \frac{13}{60}

Probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink =

P ( milk ) = \mathbf{\frac{No\;of\;favourable\;outcomes}{total\;no\;of\:outcomes}}

    =   \frac{18}{60}  =  0.3
