Cost of a sweatshirt = $32
Then
Cost of 14 sweatshirts = (32 * 14) dollars
= 448 dollars
Cost of a t-shirt = $14
Cost of 32 t-shirts = (32 * 14) dollars
= 448 dollars
So it can seen from the deduction that the cost of 14 sweatshirts and 32 t-shirts comes out to be same and equal to $448. I hope the answer and the procedure of doing this problem is clear to you. It is important to look at all the details given in the question and then start solving the problem.
x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
When atleast one dice shows a 6 the possible outcomes will be:
(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)
(1,6), (2,6), (3,6), (4,6), (5,6)
Thus there are 11 total possible outcomes.
Among these outcomes, the sum of numbers greater than or equal to 9 can be obtained from:
(6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6), (3,6), (4,6), (5,6)
This means there are 7 outcomes with sum greater than or equal to 9.
Thus, Probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 with atleast one dice showing a 6 = 9/11
So, option A gives the correct answer
