the tens digit of a two digit number is twice the units digit. The sum of the digits is twelve. Find the original number.

KatRina [158]

X - tens digit
y - units digit

$x=2y\\
x+y=12\\\\
2y+y=12\\
3y=12\\
y=4\\\\
x=2\cdot4\\
x=8\\\\
10\cdot8+4=\boxed{84}

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. How much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will

HACTEHA [7]

Ella has to add 32.833 lbs of water to get 33.333 lbs of syrup.

<u>Solution:</u>

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. Let x lbs be the amount of water Ella should add to get the 1.5% of syrup,

$\Rightarrow0.5\text{ lbs }- 1.5\%$

$\Rightarrow x+0.5\text{ lbs }- 100\%$

On writing the proportion,

$\Rightarrow\dfrac{0.5}{x+0.5}=\dfrac{1.5}{100}\\ \\\Rightarrow0.5\cdot 100=(x+0.5)\cdot 1.5\\ \\\Rightarrow50=1.5x+0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=50-0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=49.25\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{49.25}{1.5}\approx 32.833\ lbs$

To get 1.5% syrup Ella should add 32.833 lbs of water. The total weight of syrup is 33.333 lbs.

50% of those who liked orange flavored soda also like lime flavored soda according to the conditional probability.

According to the statement

we have given that the in the survey 70% of the people surveyed said they like the orange flavored soda and 35% of the people surveyed said they liked the orange flavored soda AND the lime flavored soda.

And we have to find the conditional probability about this given statement.

So, We know that the

Let A and B represents the following events.

A : The people like the orange flavored soda.

B : The people like the lime flavored soda.

It is given that 70% of the people surveyed said they like the orange flavored soda.

so, P(A) = 0.70

And 35% of the people surveyed said they liked the orange flavored soda AND the lime flavored soda.

So, P(A ∩ B ) = 0.35

A. Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.

And

B. The formula for conditional probability is is written below:

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B ) / P (B)

And

C. We need to find the percent of those who liked orange flavored soda also like lime flavored soda.

Use the above written conditional probability formula then

Substitute P(A)=0.70 and P(A∩B)=0.35 in the above formula.

So,

P(B/A) = P(A ∩ B ) / P (A)

P(B/A) = 0.35 / 0.70

P(B/A) = 0.50

So, 50% of those who liked orange flavored soda also like lime flavored soda according to the conditional probability.
