Answer: 1/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability of selecting a mint out of the jar, we use our ratio for the probability of an event which is shown below.

(P) event = <em>number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes</em>.

Since there are 7 mints in the jar, the number of favorable outcomes is 4 and since there are 35 candies in all,

the total number of outcomes is 35.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a mint is 7/35.

Notice however that 7/35 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator of 7/35 by their greatest common factor of 7 to get 1/5.

So our final answer for the probability of selecting a mint is 1/5.

Answer: 80 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find a percentage with one of two ways.

For hundreds like this, oftentimes it's quicker and more simple to think of it as just 100. The proportion from 100 to 500 is just 5.  16% of 100 is 16. So, multiply 16 * 5. You would get 80.

The second method is you can use 0.16 * 500. It's the more conventional method, and you get 80, like the last method.

Solve the system using the substituion method<br> -4x+y=8<br> x-3y=9
lions [1.4K]
Hi there!

x - 3y = 9
x = 9 + 3y
 
-4x + y = 8
-4(9+3y) + y = 8
-36 - 12y + y = 8
-36 - 11y = 8
-11y = 44
-y = 4
y = -4

x - 3y = 9
x - 3(-4) = 9
x + 12 = 9
x = 21

So, your answers are y = -4 and x = 21.

Hope this helps!

y = number of board games and 15= the price of each board game

so to calculate any number of board games bought just input the number of board games bought for y in the expression 15y and you will get the price.
