The answer is c. Hope this helps
Eight tenths minus five tenths equals three tenths.
Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'
We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒

Equation [2] ⇒

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought
When we have two equations in terms of two different variables;

and

, that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem.
First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either

or

the subject:


Then we substitute

into Equation [2]






Now we know the value of

which is

, substitute this value into

we have

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
The probability of picking a black ball first is

, because there are 4 black balls and 1 white ball which is 5 balls in total. After picking the first ball, 4 balls remain - 3 black and 1 white, so the probability of picking a white ball is

.
So, the probability of picking a black ball first followed by a white ball is
There's nothing here to choose from but it should be something like : q + d = 18; .25q + .10d = 2.85
