you should get 29% for your answer on this one

The easiest way to do do this is to first find out how much % 500 is of 700

first, we can just set it up as a simplified fraction
$\frac{7}{5}$
which is equal to..
$1.4$

then we divide 100 by this number
$100 \div 1.4 = 71.4285...$

*now to check*
multiply the quotient by .01 to get .7142...

then multiply that by 700

we should get a product of 500, confirming our answer

now that we're sure, subtract 71 from 100 to find the percentage decrease

$amswer = 29\%$

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacemen

mamaluj [8]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a)

The probability is : 1/2

(b)

The probability is : 1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacement.

The total combinations that are possible are:

(1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5)

(2,1) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,4) (3,5)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4)

i.e. the total outcomes are : 20

(a)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 4.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 9.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

P(A|B)

We know that it could be calculated by using the formula:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}$

Hence, based on the data we have:

$P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}$

( Since, out of a total of 20 outcomes there is just one outcome which comes in A∩B and it is: (4,5) )

and

$P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}$

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 9

(4,5) and (5,4) )

Hence, we have:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

(b)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 3.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 8.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

P(A|B)

Hence, based on the data we have:

$P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}$

( since, the only outcome out of 20 outcomes is: (3,5) )

and

$P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}$

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 8

(3,5) and (5,3) )

Hence, we have:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Will mark brainliest please help me Explain step by step how to find the equation of a line that goes through the points ( 7, 2

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the ordered pairs into the slope formula x=y2-y1/x2-x1 then you will get your slope of the line. once you have your slope pick an ordered pair and put it in point slope y-y1=m(x-x1) distribute and you will get your answer.

-1/4x+2y=28 find the x and y intercept

Advocard [28]

The y intercept is (0, 14) and the x intercept is (-112,0) all you have to do is just make y zero if you are trying to solve for x and the same for the x if you are trying to solve for y.

What math symbols are missing to make the equation right: 7 3 7 3 = 24 can not change order of numbers you may use parentheses,

Citrus2011 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

7 3 7 3 = 24

Here, to get the desired expression:

7 - 3 = 4

4 + ( 7 x 3 ) = 4 + (21) = 24 = Right Side.

So, the given expression can be written as:

7 - 3 + (7 x 3) = 24
