Divide cost over pounds to get cost per pound:
$2.10 / 2.5 = 0.84$ per pound
$2.60 / 2.33 = $1.11 per pound

The population of Weston is 4320. The town’s records show that 45 percent of the population are males, and 2 3 23 of these males

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

In Weston 1,296 males are married

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the number of males

Multiply the total population by 45%

$45\%=45/100=0.45$

$4,320(0.45)=1,944\ males$

step 2

Find out the number of males that are married

Multiply the number of males by 2/3

$\frac{2}{3}(1,944)=1,296\ males\ married$

therefore

In Weston 1,296 males are married

Y=4 -2x<br> у = -5 + 4х<br> ||

kolezko [41]

Answer:

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 4 - 2x

y= -5 + 4x

4 - 2x = -5 + 4x

4 + 5 = 4x +2x

9 = 6x

9/6 = x

3/2 = x

y= 4 -2(3/2)

y = 4 - 3

y = 1

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.42, for a spring day is 0.23, for a summer day

nadezda [96]

Answer:

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening

In this question:

Event A: Rain

Event B: Winter day

Probability of rain:

0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).

$P(A) = 0.42*0.25 + 0.23*0.25 + 0.16*0.25 + 0.51*0.25 = 0.33$

Intersection:

Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.42*0.25 = 0.105$

If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

$P(B|A) = \frac{0.105}{0.33} = 0.3182$

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

A man ordered 4 times as many boxes of ballpoint pens as boxes of felt-tip pens. Ballpoint pens cost $4.41 per box, and felt-tip

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of boxes of felt-tip pens.

(x)(3.44)+(4x)(4.41) = 63.24

21.08x = 63.24

x = 3

Because x = 3, the man bought 3 boxes of felt-tip pens and 12 boxes of ballpoint pens.
