Lisa bought a suit on sale for 459. This price was 15% less than the original price. What was the original price?

1 answer:

7 0

If 459 is 15% less than the original, this means the original was 15% more than 459.

So we have to find 15% more of 459, and to do this, we have to:

Add 100 + 15 = 115
115/100 = 1.15
1.15 x 459 = 527.85

Hope this answers your question

There are 52 playing cards in a standard deck of cards. If Patrica selects a card at random, what is the probability that it wil

Alisiya [41]

Since there are two black queens out of 52 cards, there is a 2/52 chance of drawing a black queen first. This is equivalent to a 1/26 chance.

Now that we have removed a black queen, there are 51 cards left in the deck. 26 of them are red because we only took away a black card. This means that there is a 26/51 of drawing a red card next.

In order to find the probability of both of these happening, we multiply the two together. 1/26 * 26/51 = 26/1326. This reduces to 1/51. So, there is a 1/51 chance of drawing a black queen, then a red card.
