Lina wanted to buy a bag. She saw a red bag on sale at 15% discount and a blue bag at 20% discount. Both bags had the same origi

nal price before the discounts. To buy the red bag, Lina would need $2.50 more than what she had. So Lina bought the blue bag. After that, she had $2 left. (a) What was the original price of the red bag? (b) How much money did Lina have at first?

Answer:

a) The original price of the bag was $90

b) Lina was having $74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of  the bags be 'x'

and,

the money Lina had be 'y'

then according to the question

Price of red bag after 15% discount = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

Price of red bag after 20% discount = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

also,

0.85x = y + $2.5 ...........(1)

0.80x = y - $2  .............(2)

subtracting the equation (2) from  (1), we get

    0.85x = y + $2.5

- ( 0.80x = y - $2   )

===================

      0.05x = $4.5

or

x = $90

a) The original price of the bag was $90

b) on substituting the value of x in the equation (1), we get

0.85 × 90 = y + $2.5

or

76.5 = y + $2.5

or

y = $74

Hence, Lina was having $74

To solve the equation X - 62 = 123, you would ?
Ratling [72]
X-62=123
+62 +62
_________
x=185
you need to add a positive 62 from each side so -62+62=0 and 123+62=185
therefore, x=185

Suppose there is a 13.9 % probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger. In​ addition, there is
Blababa [14]

Answer:

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

It would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 13.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger, so P(A) = 0.13.

In​ addition, there is a 15.6% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male comma given that he or she jogs. I am going to say that P(B) is the probability that is a male. P(B/A) is the probability that the person is a male, given that he/she jogs. So P(B/A) = 0.156

The Bayes theorem states that:

P(B/A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which P(A \cap B) is the probability that the person does both thigs, so, in this problem, the probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

So

P(A \cap B) = P(A).P(B/A) = 0.156*0.139 = 0.217

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

A probability is unusual when it is smaller than 5%.

So it would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

How will the solution of the system y > 2x + and y < 2x + change if the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed t
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The System of inequality is ,

1. y > 2 x + p

2. y < 2 x + p

Suppose we assign some values to p and q and draw its graph

And, then the inequality sign on both inequalities is reversed

3. y < 2 x + p

4. y > 2 x + p

And , then draw it's graph

it has been found that, the solution set of both the inequality remains same.That is there is no point or set of points , which satisfy both the system of inequality.

The system has no solution.
