A tree diagram can be drawn for a clearer understanding. The branches of the tails can be ignored since we are not concerned about that. To find the probability along the branches, we just have to multiply the probabilities of each branch, giving you an answer of 1/128
A.) If Lucy sells 1 necklace, her sales would equal to $15.99. Then her profit would be:
Profit = $15.99 - $3.38(1) - $5.57(1)
Profit = $7.04
The fraction of the sale price of the necklace in profit is denoted as x.
15.99x = 7.04
x = 704/1559
b.) This is the same as part (a) but in decimal form. Just simply divide 704 by 1559. The answer is 0.44
c.) If Lucy's sales is $223.86 and each necklace costs $15.99, then the number of necklaces sold is $223.86 ÷ $15.99/necklace = 14 necklaces
Her profit for the 14 necklaces sold would be:
$223.86 - $3.38(14) - $5.57(14) = $98.56
Answer:
Definitely Option A.
When you expand the bracket of Option A... You have your equation
Which is
-1/4x + 1/2.
To start, you need to subtract 4x from both sides, that way, x is one one sid of the equation.
You have to divide 140,000 by 7 to get the base number of 20,000. You then multiply it by 2 and 5 for each respective person. Joe invested 40,000 and Matt invested 100,000.
