Answer:

  • Total cost: $3000
  • Martha: $600
  • Emily: $75
  • Alexandra: $750
  • Laura: $75
  • Lisa: $1500

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentages add to 95%, so the dollar amounts (total $150) comprise 5% of the cost. Then the total cost is ...

  total cost × 5% = $150

  total cost = $150/0.05 = $3000

And the percentages are ...

  20% × $3000 = $600 (Martha's share)

  25% × $3000 = $750 (Alexandra's share)

  50% × $3000 = $1500 (Lisa's share)

_____

<em>Check</em>

$600 + 75 + 750 + 75 + 1500 = $3000 . . . as it should

Monica [59]
Write an equation to show all elements:

Cost of 4 lots of b (beads) + cost of 4p (pendants) = $18.80

Put values in;
9.29 + 4p = 18.80
4p = 18.80 - 9.20
4p = 9.60

There are 12 blue marbles and 8 red marbles. find the probability of selecting one item
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

selecting one item? If you mean each color:

40% chance for a red marble / 2/5 chance

60% chance for a blue marble / 3/5 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 12 blue marbles and 8 red marbles, we would total them to see how many marbles there are in total. There are 20 in total, but to find the probability, if we put all 20 marbles in a bag (blue and red), and we picked a marble at random, there are 8 red marbles and 12 blue marble in that bag. The probability that I will choose red marbles is 8/20 (or 8 red marbles out of 20 total marbles), and for blue marbles, it would be 12/20 (or 12 blue marbles out of 20 total marbles). Simplify both expression to 2/5, and 3/5 respectively. Finally, if you need percentage, just multiply the denominator by 5 to get it to a hundred, and do the same to the numerator. This way you don't change the value of the expression.

For any two nonzero integers, the product and quotient have the same sign. True or False
victus00 [196]
That's true. If the integers both have the same sign, then their product and quotient are both positive. If signs are different, then product and quotient are both negative.
