Answer: 0.665.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of the bags are from supplier A, and 95% of them are undamaged.

40% of the bags are from supplier B, and 75% of them are undamaged.

Then, the number of undamaged bags from supplier A is:

0.6*0.95 = 0.57 or 57%

from B is:

0.4*0.75 = 0.3 or 30%

This means that the percentage of undamaged bags is:

57% + 30% = 87%.

Then, the probability that an undamaged bag is from supplier A is equal to the percentage of undamaged bags that came from supplier A (57%) and the total percentage of undamaged bags (87%) this is:

P = 57%/87% = 0.655 or 65.5%

Then the probability that an undamaged bag comes from supplier A is 0.665.

Initially, the ratio of Ed’s toy cars to Pete’s toy cars was 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal numb
Burka [1]
So here is the answer. Initially, Ed's toy cars compared to Pete's toy cars was 5:2. So for every 5 cars that Ed has, Pete has 2. Now that Ed gave 30 cars to Pete. So here it goes. The total number of ratio units is 5+2=7, so each will have an equal number if they both have 3.5 ratio units. That is, if Ed transfers to Pete 1.5 ratio units, their car counts will be equal. Thus 1.5 ratio units = 30 cars, or 1 ratio unit = 20 cars. Therefore, this makes <span> 7*20 cars = 140 cars.
</span>Hope this helps.
