Kim, Laura and Molly share £385

1 answer:

3 0

We let x = Kim's amount
y = Laura's amount
z = Molly's amount

We have three unknowns and it should be that we have three equations to set up to be able to solve this.

x + y + z = 385 (1)
z - x = 105 (2)
2/5 = x/z (3)

Solving simultaneously, we can get the values as follows:

x = 70
z = 175
y = 140

Therefore, the percentage that Laura got was 36.4% of the whole money. Hope this answers the question.

Jackie earns $172 per week at her part time job. She is saving this money to buy a used car that cost $2000. At this rate, how m

vodomira [7]

Answer:

12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

It will take Jackie 12 weeks to buy her car because she earns 172 per week.

If you divide 2000 buy 172 you end up with 11.6

if you multiply 11 and 172 you get 1,892 which is just a little under 2000

if you add another week = 172$ you will arrive at 2064 which is enough to buy

her car.

Hope this helps.

In a box of 25 external hard disks, there are 2 defectives. An inspector examines 5 of these hard disks. Find the probability th

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

0.3667 or 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting at least 1 defective hard disk among the 5 (P(X>0)) is equal to 100% minus the probability of getting none defectives (1-P(X=0)).

If 23 out of 25 hard disks are non-defective, the probability is:

$P(X>0) = 1 -P(X=0)\\P(X>0) = 1 -\frac{23}{25}*\frac{22}{24} *\frac{21}{23} *\frac{20}{22} *\frac{19}{21}\\ P(X>0) = 0.3667=36.67\%$

The probability that there is at least 1 defective hard disk is 0.3667 or 36.67%.
