Given that Mary has 2 bags of sweets. each of which contains same number of sweets.

Let us assume each bag contains x  number of sweets.

After eating 4 sweets, total number of sweets left in two bags = x+x-4=2x-4

But given 2x-4 = 30

                2x-4+4 = 30+4

                 2x=34

                x=\frac{34}{2} = 17

Hence there are 17 sweets in each bag at starting.

What’s the probability?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

\frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for a flip on either side of the coin is always 50% or \frac{1}{2}

So to get the probability for the three flips just do:

(\frac{1}{2}) ^{3}  or \frac{1}{2} × \frac{1}{2} × \frac{1}{2}

Either way you solve it the answer is \frac{1}{8}
