Answer:

x = $200

The original price is $200

Question :

The price of a dress is reduced by 50%. When the dress still does not​ sell, it is reduced by 50% of the reduced price. If the price of the dress after both reductions is ​$50, what was the original​ price?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the dress.

First reduction

After first reduction the value of the price is given as;

p1 = x - 50% of x = (1-0.50)x = 0.5x

p1 = 0.5x

Second reduction

After the second reduction the value of the price is given as;

p2 = p1 - 50% of p1 = (1-0.50)p1 = (0.50)0.50x

p2 = 0.25x .....1

Since, p2 is given

p2 = $50

Substituting into equation 1

$50 = 0.25x

x = $50/0.25 = $200

x = $200

The original price is $200

Mookie Betts of the Boston Red Sox had the highest batting average for the 2018 Major League Baseball season. His average was 0.
Annette [7]

Answer:

Binomial probability, with n = 5, p = 0.352

Step-by-step explanation:

For each time Mookie Betts went to bat, there were only two possible outcomes. Either he got a base-hit, or he did not. The probability of getting a hit on each at-bat is independent of any other at-bat. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

His average was 0.352.

This means that p = 0.352

Assume he has five times at bat tonight in the Red Sox-Yankees game.

This means that n = 5

a. This is an example of what type of probability

Binomial probability, with n = 5, p = 0.352
