1,459.75 - 200.25 - 359.45 - 125.00 - 299.35 = 475.70
475.70 + 375.00 = 850.70
Her account balance after the bills and deposit is $850.70
1) first pick red 5/9 blue 4/9
2) second pick when red has been picked red now becomes 4/8, blue stays 4/8
2) Second pick when blue has been picked blue now becomes 3/8, red stays 5/8
Mind you, you only need both different colours so:
first pick red 5/9 x sec pick blue 4/8 = 20/72
and first pick blue 4/9 x sec pick red 5/8 = 20/72
add both up 20/72 + 20/72 = 40/72 = 5/9
Hope this helps you understand
