Answer:

As a fraction, the answer is exactly 86/969

In decimal form, the answer is approximately 0.08875

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

Work Shown:

The assumption is that no replacements are made for each selection.

5 red, 6 blue, 8 green

5+6+8 = 19 total

A = P(3 red) = (5/19)*(4/18)*(3/17) = 10/969

B = P(3 blue) = (6/19)*(5/18)*(4/17) = 20/969

C = P(3 green) = (8/19)*(7/18)*(6/17) = 56/969

D = P(3 all same color)

D = A+B+C

D = 10/969 + 20/969 + 56/969

D = (10+20+56)/969

D = 86/969

D = 0.08875

Probability =
(number or amount of possible successes)(total number or amount of possible outcomes)

Area of any circle is (pi) x (radius squared)

Area of the whole board = (pi) x (13 squared) = 169 pi square inches

Area of the shaded region = (pi) x (5 squared) = 25 pi square inches

Probability = (success area) / (total possible area) = 25pi/169pi = <u>0.15 </u>(rounded)

Notice that if you do it my way ... keep 'pi' in the fraction ... you don't even
need to know what the value of 'pi' is, because there's one in the top and
bottom of the fraction, and they cancel.

-2x -3y = 5

4x + 3y = 17

2x = 22

x = 11

4(2) + 3y = 17

8 + 3y = 17

3y = 9

y = 3

Monica is buying a new dress for her
mina [271]

Answer: Sales tax would be $5.40

Step-by-step explanation: The sales value itself of the dress (that is, without tax) is $65.49.

The amount charged as sales tax in Pearland is given as 8.25% (or 0.0825).

Hence if she is shopping in Pearland, the AMOUNT OF SALES TAX she would pay can be calculated as,

Sales tax = Sales price x 0.0825

Sales tax = 65.49 x 0.0825

Sales tax = 5.402925

Approximately to two decimal places, the sales tax becomes $5.40
