If we were to put this in terms of a venn diagram, we would have 360 owning only brand X, 500 owning only brand Y, and 80 in between, owning both. Therefore, 80 out of the 580 owners of brand Y may have X as well, which we put into fraction form 80/580, and reduce to 4/29.

Answer: \dfrac{4}{29}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find the conditional probability of A given that B is given by :-

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

Let A be the event that students own mobile phones  of Brand X and B be the event that students own mobile phones  of Brand Y.

Then , P(A)=\dfrac{420}{1000}

P(B)=\dfrac{580}{1000}

P(A|B)=\dfrac{80}{1000}

Then , the required probability will be:-

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{80}{1000}}{\dfrac{580}{1000}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow P(A|B)=\dfrac{4}{29}

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%. If the selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000, which of the following
Kisachek [45]

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.

selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000

Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write

x-\frac{40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \frac{100x-40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ \frac{60x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ 60x= 3000*100\\ \\ x=\frac{3000*100}{60} \\ \\ \ x=5*100=5000\\

Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000

Use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify: u(v−10)
siniylev [52]

Answer:

uv - 10u

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute a problem, you have to multiply what is on the outside of the parenthesis with what is on the inside.

u · v = uv

u · -10 = -10u

Combined, u(v - 10) = uv - 10u.

Landon scored an 85% on his test. If he got 34 problems correct, how many were on the test?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test
