Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: The expected loss is 50 cents, we know that it is more likely to lose than win. It is therefore difficult to get-50, so the overall difference between the two possibilities is 2, 50/200=1/4, and the probability to win is 1/4, and the probability to lose is 3/4. Since (1/4)*3=3/4, the number of black balls is 3 times the number of white balls, so k=15.

Answer:
largest 4 digit number × largest 3 digit number
=9999 × 999
(10000-1)×(1000-1) = (a-b)(c-b)= ac-ab-bc+b^2
10000000-10000-1000+1 = 9989001
Answer:
The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price
First take 60 percent off
x - x*60% = new price
x- .60x = .40x
The new price is .40x
Then take 15 % off
(.40x) - (.40x)*15%
.40x - .40x*.15
.40x - .06x
.34x
100 -.34 =.66
The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off
