Answer:
120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more, this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:
Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.
x(120) = 144(100)
120x = 14400
x= 120 pounds
Answer:
0.1111
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that you roll two dice.
the average of the high and low roll is exactly 3,
Since die can show only 1 to 6 we can say average can be 3 in each of the following case.
(1,5) (2,4) (3,3) (4,2) (5,1)
There cannot be any other combination to get average of 3.
Thus favourable events = 4
Sample space will have
(1,1)...(1,6)
(2,1)....
(6,1)...(6,6) i.e. 36
So probability that the average of the high and low roll is exactly 3
=
