The cost of each ribeye steak dinner is $ 29 and cost of each grilled salmon dinner is $ 20

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the cost of each ribeye steak dinners

Let "b" be the cost of each grilled salmon dinners

<em><u>A waitress sold 11 ribeye steak dinners and 12 grilled salmon​ dinners, totaling ​$560.63 on a particular day</u></em>

Thus we frame a equation as:

11 x cost of each ribeye steak dinners + 12 x cost of each grilled salmon dinners = 560.63

11 \times a + 12 \times b = 560.63

11a + 12b = 560.63 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>Another day she sold 16 ribeye steak dinners and 6 grilled salmon​ dinners, totaling ​$584.46</u></em>

Thus we frame a equation as:

16 x cost of each ribeye steak dinners + 6 x cost of each grilled salmon dinners = 584.46

16 \times a + 6 \times b = 584.46

16a + 6b = 584.46 ------------ eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>

32a + 12b = 1168.92 ------- eqn 3

<em><u>Subtract eqn 1 from eqn 3</u></em>

32a + 12b = 1168.92

11a + 12b = 560.63

( - ) ----------------

21a = 1168.92 - 560.63

21a = 608.29

Divide both sides by 21

a = 28.96 \approx 29

<em><u>Substitute a = 29 in eqn 1</u></em>

11(29) + 12b = 560.63

319 + 12b = 560.63

12b = 560.63 - 319

12b = 214.63

Divide both sides by 12

b = 20.13 \approx 20

Thus cost of each ribeye steak dinner is $ 29 and cost of each grilled salmon dinner is $ 20

Bilal's favorite colors are red and green.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

P(A∪B) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Red  Garments = 1 red shirt + 1 red hat  + 1 red pairs of pants

Total Red Garments = 3

Green Garments =  1 green shirt + 1 green scarf + 1 green pairs of pants

Total Green Garments = 3

The total number of garments =  Total Red Garments + Total Green Garments:

3 + 3 = 6

Let A be the event that he selects a green garment

P(A) = Number of required outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes

P(A) =  3/6

Let B be the  event that he chooses a scarf

P(B) = 1/6

The objective here is to determine P(A or B) = P(A∪B)

Using the  probability set notation theory:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = Probability that a green pair of pant is chosen = P(A) - P(B)

= 3/6-1/6

= 2/6

P(A∪B) = 1/2 + 1/6 - 2/6

P(A∪B) = 2/6

P(A∪B) = 1/3
