Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected customer orders a pizza or a salad is 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call

P_p = the proability of someone asking for a pizza

P_s = the probability that a customer orders a salad

Pp∩s = the probability that a customer orders a pizza and a salad.

We know from the statement of the problem that:

P_p = 70% = 0.7

P_s = 25% = 0.25

Pp∩s = 15% = 0.15

We want to know the probability that a randomly selected customer will order a pizza or a salad. Then, by set theory, that probability is calculated as:

Pp∪s = P_p ∪ P_s - Pp∩s

So:

Pp∪s = Pp + Ps - Pp∩s

 Where Pp∪e is the probability that the customer orders a pizza or a salad, but not both at the same time.

Pp∪e = 0.7 + 0.25 -0.15

Pp∪e = 0.8

Finally, the probability that a randomly selected customer orders a pizza or a salad is 80%

Answer:

Infinite Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

If you distribute the left side of the expression, you will get 3y -32, which is exactly the same as the right side of the equation. Since both lines are the same, that means that they have an infinite amount of solutions. Therefore, the 4th choice is correct.
