Answer:1/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red balls: 5

Number of green balls: 6

Number of yellow balls: 9

Total number of balls= 5+6+9= 20

Let probability of red balls = Pr(red balls)

PR(red balls)= 5/20

Hence probability of picking first ball as red = 5/20

Probability of picking second ball without replacing the first ball:

This implies that by picking second ball to be red, the number of red ball would decrease by 1. Also the total number of balls would also decrease by 1 because it isn't replaced.

PR(2nd ball) = 4/19

Pr(1st ball red and 2nd ball red)= 5/20 * 4/19

=(5*4)/(20×19)

20/(20/19)

= 1/19

Naty bought a dress for $24.95 and a skirt for $14.95.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Total items = $39.90

Sales tax amount = $3.7905

Total cost = $43.691

The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $24.95

Skirt = $14.95

steps the clerk completed.

Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90

Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40

Correct steps:

Total items = dress + skirt

= $24.95 + $14.95

= $39.90

Sales tax = 9.5%

Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total

= 9.5/100 × $39.90

= 0.095 × 39.90

= $3.7905

Total cost = Total + sales tax amount

= $39.90 + $3.7905

= $43.6905

To the nearest hundredth

= $43.691

Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items

Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax

if one Circle has a diameter of 10 cm and a second Circle has a diameter of 20 cm what is the ratio of the area of the larger ci
Oxana [17]
Area of a circle is πr^2.

The radius of the smaller circle with diameter 10 cm is 5 cm.

The radius of the larger circle with diameter 20 cm.is 10 cm.

Area of larger circle : Area of smaller circle

Area of larger circle = 100π.

Area of smaller circle = 25π.

Ratio = 100π : 25π or 100π/25π.
