Answer:

0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose there are 100 kids

60% have fever, so <em><u>what is 60% of 100?</u></em>

We convert percentage to decimal and multiply:

60/100 = 0.6

0.6 * 100 = 60 have fever

20% of the people having fever (60 of them) have sore throats, so,

<u><em>What is 20% of 60?</em></u>

We convert percentage to decimal and multiply:

20/100 = 0.2

0.2 * 60 = 12 have sore throat

So, how many people are there with fever AND sore throat, that is 12. We took initially there to be 100 people. Hence, the probability is:

\frac{12}{100}=0.12

Isolate the variable to find the solution of the equation. 6.2w = 18.6 w = 3 w = 12.4 w = 24.8 w = 115.32
iragen [17]
6.2w = 18.6....divide both sides by 6.2
w = 18.6 / 6.2
w = 3 <==
