This can be expressed by the equation 520 = 1.3x
So, we divide 520 by 1.3 and get 400 :)

So from 100% you increased it by 30% to become 520
130%=540
percent means parts out of 100
130%=130/100=1.3
1.3 of whole=520
divide both sides by 1.3
whole=400

the number was 400

A bag contains 5 blue marbles, 2 green marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. What is the probability of choosing one green marble and t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of marbles = 5 + 2 + 3 = 10

Probability of choosing 1 green marble = 2/10

Probability of choosing 1 yellow marble = 3/10

Notice (and this is important) that the denominator didn't change. Why?

Because you replaced the first marble into the bag. That word replacement is critical in a problem of this nature. There is the term non replacement which means that the second draw would have a denominator of 9.

So what is the probability of P(green then yellow)?

P(green then yellow) = 3/10 * 2/10 = 6/100

Answer: P(green then yellow) = 3/50 because 6 / 100 reduces.
