There were 14 board games

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "v" be the number of video games

Let "b" be the number of board games

Given that The number of video games is 28 less than 6 times  the number of board games

number of video games = 6 times  the number of board games - 28

v = 6b - 28 ------ eqn 1

Also given that The games are 80% video games

So this means out of total games(video + board) , 80 % are video games

video games = 80 % of (video + board games)

v = 80 % of (v + b)

v = 80 \% \times (v + b)

v = \frac{80}{100} \times (v + b)\\\\v = 0.8(v + b)\\\\v = 0.8v + 0.8b\\\\0.2v = 0.8b\\\\v = 4b

Substitute v = 4b in eqn 1

4b = 6b - 28

-2b = -28

b = 14

Thus there were 14 board games

How would I set up this problem?
Sliva [168]
Since in 1990 there are 28%, we need to figure out when it gets to 31%. In addition, since it increases by 0.6% every year, we can say that 0.6x+28 (since 28 is the base value) is the percentage of babies born in wedlock every year. Therefore, to get 0.6x+28=31, we subtract 28 from both sides to get 0.6x=3
Dividing both sides by 0.6, we get x=5=the amount of years it takes to get 31% of babies born in wedlock. Since 1990 is the base value (we start from there!), we add 5 to that to get 1990+5=1995 as the yar

If the odds against Deborahs winning first prize in a chess tournament are 1 to 11 what is the probability of the event that she
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: \dfrac{11}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The odds against winning in a chess tournament are 1 to 11.

Odds is defined as the ratio of the probability of occurrence to the non-occurrence of event.

\therefore \text{Probability that event will occur is P'=}\dfrac{1}{1+11}\\\\\Rightarrow P'=\dfrac{1}{12}

Probability of non-occurrence i.e. she wins the first prize is

\Rightarrow P=1-\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{11}{12}
