Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) find the total candies
7 + 8 + 5 + 9 = 29
2) a probability can be expressed with a fraction whose denominator is the total candies, while the numerator represents the candies that we want to find
- red = 7/29
- blue = 8/29
- yellow = 5/29
- green = 9/29
3) compound probability
(red + blue)/29 = 15/29
(yellow + green)/29 = 14/29
(blue + yellow + green)/29 = 22/29
The answer is b = 3. you subtract 24 from bothe sides and then divide by 2.
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
