I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.

so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.

An economy pack of highlighters contains 12 yellow, 6 blue, 4 green, and 3 orange highlighters. An experiment consists of random

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The probability of choosing a blue or yellow highlighter when one yellow highlighter is picked is 17/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

Total number of yellow highlighters = 12

Total number of blue highlighters = 6

Total number of green highlighters = 4

Total number of orange highlighters = 3

So, the total number of highlighters = 12 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 25

Let E1 : Event of selecting a yellow highlighter.

P(E1) = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of yellow highlighters}}{\textrm{Total Highlighters}}$ = $\frac{12}{25}$

Let E2 : Event of selecting blue or yellow highlighter ONCE yellow highlighter is selected.

So, the total yellow highlighters left after selecting one = 12 -1 = 11

Also, the number of blue highlighter = 6

So, the TOTAL FAVORABLE options to E2 = 6+ 11 = 17

P(E2) =

$\frac{\textrm{Total number of yellow + Blue highlighters}}{\textrm{Total Highlighters}}$ = $\frac{17}{25}$

Hence, the probability that a blue or yellow highlighter is selected given that a yellow highlighter is selected is 17/25.

A bicyclist travels at a constant speed of 18 mi/h. How long does it take the bicyclist to travel 90 mi

Stells [14]

If the bicyclists is traveling 18 miles every hour and needs to travel a sum of 90 miles, you need to divide 90/18 equaling the total time (in hours) needed to travel 90 miles. Hope this helps
