Answer: 14/45

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there is no replacements:

The probability of both pens being red will be represented by P(r), and P(b) and P(g) will represents both being blue and green respectively

P(r) = 5/10 x 4/9 = 2/9

P(b) = 3/10 x 2/9 = 1/15

P(g) = 2/10 x 1/9 = 1/45

Now take all 3 probabilities and add them all together to find the probability that any 2 pen will be the same color

P = P(r) + P(b) + P(g)

P = 2/9 + 1/15 + 1/14

P = 14/45

a man buys a dozen cameras for $1800. He sells them at a profit of $36 each. Express his profit as a percentage of his selling p
Helga [31]

First of all, we need to deduce the price of a single camera:

\dfrac{1800}{12}=150

Now, we know that he profits 36 dollars from each camera. So, we are asking: which percentage of 150 is 36? We have

36 = 150\cdot\dfrac{x}{100}

This equation literally says: 36 is x-percent of 150. And we need to solve for x:

x=\dfrac{36\cdot 100}{150} =24

Prove that tan22° + tan23° + tan22°. tan23° = 1 ​
postnew [5]

Answer:

Hope you got it....

Step-by-step explanation:

1=tan45∘

1=tan(22∘+23∘)

1=tan22∘+tan23∘1−tan22∘tan23∘

1−tan22∘tan23∘=tan22∘+tan23∘

1=tan22∘+tan23∘+tan22∘tan23∘

It will be the same for any two angles that add up to 45∘.
