A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is neither a red card
Reil [10]
Number of red cards including 2 red queens = 26
Number of black queens = 2
Therefore, number of red cards including 2 red queens and 2 black queens = 26 + 2 = 28
Number of cards neither a red card nor a queen = 52 - 28 = 24

P  =  \frac{ Number \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{ Total \: numer \: of \: possible \: outcomes}

P (neither \: a \: red \: nor \: a \: queen \: card \: ) =  \frac{24}{52}  =  \frac{6}{13}

Aliun [14]
The markup percentage is .40778 -> 40.778% 
$4015 = current price ;  $2852 = original price

To find the mark up percentage:
First, find the difference between the current price and original price.

$4015 - $2852 = $1163

Second, divide the price difference by the current price to get the percentage.
1163/2852 = .40778

Check the math by multiplying the original price by the markup percentage and add the original price to it.

$2852 X .40778 + $2852 = $4015
