2+4+5 is 11 and 33/11 is 3 so for every 1 is 3 years,
 the first is 2 so is 2x3=6
the second is 4 so is 4x3=12
the third is 5 so is 5x3=15

You could also write it as:
1st child's age:= 2x
2nd child:= 4x
3rd child:= 5x
2x+4x+5x=33
11x=33
x=3
Then
1st child's age:= 2x= 6
2nd child:= 4x= 12
<span>3rd child:= 5x= 15
</span>To check if it's correct you need to sum up: 6+12+15=33

Original price $60 markup 15%
Ivenika [448]

When you mark up a price, multiply the original price by 1 plus the amount of the mark up as a decimal.

15% = 0.15 + 1 = 1.15

$60 x 1.15 = $69

Slips of paper numbered 1 to 15 are placed in a box. A slip of paper is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number
monitta

Given:

Slips of paper numbered 1 to 15 are placed in a box.

To find:

The probability that the number picked is either a multiple of 5 or an odd number.

Solution:

We have,

Total outcomes = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

No. of total outcomes = 15

Multiple of 5 are 5, 10, 15.

Odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.

Number that are either a multiple of 5 or an odd number are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15.

No. of favorable outcomes = 9

We know that,

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{9}{15}

\text{Probability}=\dfrac{3}{5}

\text{Probability}=0.6

Therefore, the  probability that the number picked is either a multiple of 5 or an odd number is 0.6.
