Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8 chocolate chip cookies, 9 peanut butter cookies, 5 sugar cookies and 7 oatmeal cookies.

=> Total cookies are: 29

  • The possible outcomes of sugar cookie: C^{1} _{5} = 5 and the total possible outcomes: 25
  • The possible outcomes of oatmeal cookie: C^{1} _{7} = 7 the total possible outcomes 25-1 =24 because Catherine eats it

The probability that Catherine randomly selects a sugar cookie from the bag, eats it, then randomly selects an oatmeal cookie:

P(sugar then oatmeal) = \frac{5}{25} \frac{7}{24} = \frac{7}{120} = 0.058

He donated $285 to the salvation army.
The first thing to do is solve for "x". The equation would be {2(3x+60)}+5x+100=550. 
Then, you would multiply 2 with 3x and 60. Your new equation would be 5x+120+5x+100=550. 
Next, you would combine like terms. This means to combine the terms that are similar. In this case, it would be the whole numbers and the numbers with the variable. Your new equation would be 10x+220=550. 
After that, you subtract 220 on both sides of the equal sign. This makes the equation 10x=330. 
Then, you divide ten on both sides of the equal sign, giving you x=33.
The second things to is replace the x with 33. The amount for the salvation army is 5x+120. Replacing 33 with x, your final equation will be 165+120=$285.

Have a great day!!! :)

Find the distance between the points:
lesantik [10]
To calculate distance between two points we use the distance formula sqrt((x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2).  

To start, we find the square of the distance between x1 and x2 and y1 and y2.  The distance between x1 and x2, or 1 and 3, is 2. The distance between y1 and y2, or 3 and -4, is 7.

Now we square 2 and 7 and add them together to get 4 + 49 = 53.

The last thing we do to find the distance is take the square root of 53. 53 is not a perfect square and is also a prime number so our answer in simplest form is still sqrt53.<span />
