Answer:

£9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the original price of a CD

£x = 100% of the original price

The price of a CD was decreased by 20% to £7.68.

This means:

£7.68 = 100% - 20%

£7.68 = 80% of the original price

From this, we will find 1% of the original price.

£7.68 ÷ 80 = 1%

£0.096 = 1%

Since the original price ( x ) = 100% of the original price, we will find 100% of the original price.

£0.096 × 100 = 100%

£9.6 = 100%

Therefore, the original price of a CD = £9.6

You randomly pick two numbers from 1 to 9 (including 1 and 9). A number that is chosen once could be chosen again. If at least o

Mnenie [13.5K]

Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3

3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
