The problem involves empirical probability. The table shows the breakdown of 95 thousand single parents on active duty in the U.

S. military in a certain year. All numbers are in thousands and rounded to the nearest thousand. Use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the army.

Since it doesnt matter if parent is male or female, there are total of 38 000 single parents in the army

There are total of 95 000 single perents serving in military that means that probability that randomly selected single perent is in the army is:
38000/95000 = 38/95 = 0.4

If you want that in percentage just multiply it with 100%
in that case answer is 0.4*100 = 40%

Part A

x = amount of money she starts with

(4/9)x = cost of the dress

(5/9)x = amount of money leftover after buying the dress

note that 4/9 and 5/9 add to 1 to represent 100% of her money

(3/4)*(5/9)x = (15/36)x = (5/12)x = amount spent on shoes

We see that she spent 5/12 of her original amount of money on shoes.

-----------------------

We can look at a more concrete example if the previous section does not make sense.

Let's multiply the denominators 9 and 4 to get 9*4 = 36. Doing this trick will mean that the later steps won't involve decimal values.

Let's say she starts off with $36

Multiply that with 4/9 to get (4/9)*36 = 16. So in this hypothetical situation, the dress costs $16 and she's left with 36-16 = 20 dollars.

Multiply that 20 by 3/4 to get (3/4)*20 = 15

In this situation, the shoes cost $15

We'll then divide the cost of the shoes (15) over the original amount of money she started with (36)

15/36 = (3*5)/(3*12) = 5/12

-----------------------

<h3>Answer:  5/12</h3>

=======================================================

Part B

From the first section in part A, we found that:

  • (4/9)x = amount of money spent on the dress
  • (5/12)x = amount of money spent on shoes

Add those two expressions

(4/9)x + (5/12)x = (16/36)x + (15/36)x = (31/36)x

This indicates that buying the dress and shoes will cost (31/36)x dollars, where x is the original amount of money Jing has to start with.

The amount left over is (5/36)x because 5/36 adds with 31/36 to get 1.

Take 1/3 of this to get:

(1/3)*(5/36)x = (5/108)x

Then set this equal to 18 and solve for x

(5/108)x = 18

5x = 18*108

5x = 1944

x = 1944/5

x = 388.80

--------------------

Let's check the answer

If she starts with 388.80 dollars, then the dress costs (4/9)*388.80 = 172.80

She's left with 388.80 - 172.80 = 216 dollars after buying the dress.

She then spends the remaining 3/4 of that on shoes. So (3/4)*216 = 162 dollars is spent on the shoes.

Jing now has 216 - 162 = 54 dollars left over.

1/3 of which is spent on the shoe bag, meaning it costs (1/3)*54 = 18 dollars

This confirms our answer.

--------------------
