Answer = 16 birds

1. Write out your equations
X = birds
Y= cats
x + y = 19
2.50x + 7.50y = 62.50

2. Isolate one variable.
x + y = 19
x = 19 - y

3. Plug this in as the variable in the other equation. Then, solve.
2.5(19 - y) + 7.5y = 62.5
47.5 - 2.5y + 7.5y = 62.5
-2.5y + 7.5y = 15
5y = 15
y = 3 (cats)

4. Solve for the other variable.
We know there were 19 animals in total on Monday. Since there were 3 cats, there must be 16 birds.

5. Double check by plugging the numbers into the original equations.
16 + 3 = 19
19 = 19 (true)

2.5(16) + 7.5(3) = 62.5
40 + 22.5 = 62.5
62.5 = 62.5 (true)

laila [671]

Answer:

PV= $40,279.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of periods= 8*12= 96 months

Interest rate= 0.039/12= 0.00325

Future value (PV)= $55,000

<u>To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 55,000 / (1.00325^96)

PV= $40,279.36

Q3. A bag contains 7 red balls and 3 green balls. A ball is taken out replaced.
ycow [4]

Part (a)

There are 7 red out of 7+3 = 10 total

<h3>Answer: 7/10</h3>

==========================================================

Part (b)

We have 3 green out of 10 total

<h3>Answer: 3/10</h3>

==========================================================

Part (c)

3/10 is the probability of getting green on any selection. This is because we put the first selection back (or it is replaced with an identical copy)

So (3/10)*(3/10) = 9/100 is the probability of getting two green in a row.

<h3>Answer: 9/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (d)

Similar to part (c) we have 7/10 as the probability of getting red on each independent selection.

(7/10)*(7/10) = 49/100

<h3>Answer: 49/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (e)

7/10 is the probability of getting red and 3/10 is the probability of getting green. Each selection is independent of any others.

(7/10)*(3/10) = 21/100

<h3>Answer: 21/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (f)

We have the exact same set up as part (e). Notice how (7/10)*(3/10) is the same as (3/10)*(7/10).

<h3>Answer: 21/100</h3>
