I’ve broken it down into the parts that you’ve highlighted:
Part A:
x = 25 + y
x + y = 95
Part B:
I’m using the substitution method to find the amount of time that Eric plays volleyball, so:
x + y = 95
x = 95 - y
95 - y = 25 + y
70 = 2y
y = 35, 35 minutes spent playing volleyball
Part C: i don’t completely understand the question, perhaps there was a typo?
Answer:
Read a bit so you can understand which one you want.
<u>Percentage</u>
15 skittles, 3 of the 15 are orange.
3 over 15, or 0.2 as a percentage.
So there is a 0.8% chance that he will NOT pick an orange skittle.
<u>Fraction</u>
15 skittles, 3 over 15.
3 over 15 can be 1 over 5.
So there is a 4 over 5 chance that he WONT grab an orange skittle, pretty good odds.
What exactly are you trying to solve? maybe i could help
