Answer:

16 for Sol A and 24 for Sol B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 40        y = 40 - x

.60x + .85y = .75(40)

.60x + .85y = 30      Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x + 85y = 3000

60x + 85(40 - x) = 3000

60x + 3400 - 85x = 3000

-25x = -400

x = 16 ounces

y = 40 - 16

y = 24 ounces

Liam has a points card for a movie theater.
ra1l [238]

The  number of visits Liam can make to earn his first free movie ticket is: 8.4.

<h3>Number of visits Liam can make</h3>

Let x represent the number of visits

Formula
55+12.5×x=160

Re-arrange

12.5x=160-55

12.5x=105

Divide both side by 12.5x

x=105/12.5

x=8.4 visits

Therefore the  number of visits Liam can make to earn his first free movie ticket is: 8.4.

Suppose we have 3 cards identical in form except that both sides of the first card are colored red, both sides of the second car
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

probability that the other side is colored black if the upper side of the chosen card is colored red = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all;

Let B1 be the event that the card with two red sides is selected

Let B2 be the event that the

card with two black sides is selected

Let B3 be the event that the card with one red side and one black side is

selected

Let A be the event that the upper side of the selected card (when put down on the ground)

is red.

Now, from the question;

P(B3) = ⅓

P(A|B3) = ½

P(B1) = ⅓

P(A|B1) = 1

P(B2) = ⅓

P(A|B2)) = 0

(P(B3) = ⅓

P(A|B3) = ½

Now, we want to find the probability that the other side is colored black if the upper side of the chosen card is colored red. This probability is; P(B3|A). Thus, from the Bayes’ formula, it follows that;

P(B3|A) = [P(B3)•P(A|B3)]/[(P(B1)•P(A|B1)) + (P(B2)•P(A|B2)) + (P(B3)•P(A|B3))]

Thus;

P(B3|A) = [⅓×½]/[(⅓×1) + (⅓•0) + (⅓×½)]

P(B3|A) = (1/6)/(⅓ + 0 + 1/6)

P(B3|A) = (1/6)/(1/2)

P(B3|A) = 1/3
