timofeeve [1]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation: Well we would know that the original soup is one gallon water and one gallon broth because that is 2 gallons 50% to 50%.

Then to decrease the amount of broth by 10%, we would accomplish this by first turning the original gallons into quarts so we would have 4 quarts broth and 4 quarts water. We need to get a total of ten quarts SO........ we know that we need to add 2 MORE quarts of WATER.

Finally when we add all the quarts together we get 10 total with 6 water and 4 broth which totals to 60% water and 40% broth.

                           FINAL ANSWER: 2 QUARTS WATER

Find the missing probability. P(B)=720,P(A|B)=14 ,P(A∩B)=?
Ivan

Answer:

7/80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: P(B) = 7 / 20, P(A|B)= 1 / 4

Bayes theorem is used to mathematically represent the conditional probability of an event A given B. According to Bayes theorem:

P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

Where P(B) is the probability of event B occurring, P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and event B occurring and P(A|B) is the probability of event A occurring given event B.

P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A \cap B)=P(A|B)*P(B)\\\\Substituting:\\\\P(A \cap B)=1/4*7/20=7/80\\\\P(A \cap B)=7/80

Including 5% sales tax, an inn charges $252 per night. Find the inn’s nightly cost before the tax is added
stira [4]

Hi,

To find the cost before tax, we must find out how much the tax is. So we multiply 252 x .05 to get 12.6. So we know the tax was 12.6 dollars. Now all we have to do is subtract that from the total to get our answer. 252 - 12.6 = 239.4.

Have a great day!
