6/4 would be the fraction. In simplest form, it is 3/2. This gives you 1 1/2.
Answer:
$12.49
Step-by-step explanation:
The price right now = 0.8 * the original price
9.99 = 0.8*x
x=12.4875
x≈12.49
Sorry, I thought your problem meant that it was 20% the original price, not 20% off.
Answer:
The expected payoff for Ann is that she loses the game
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected payoff for Ann is that she loses the game, this is because only 5 out of the 20 sections allow Ann to win money, this is only 25% of the spinner. Meaning that 75% of the spinner will cause Ann to lose the game. Rolling two times increases the odds that she will lose the game. Since the greatest probability is that Ann will land on a section that causes her to lose the game, then this is the expected payoff.
The correct answer is the second choice.
Paolo made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion. He should have multiplied the 3 and the 8 and also the 12 and the x.
The second line should be:
12x = 24
