Answer: n = 75; p = 30
Explanation: (a) 5p + 4n = 450 where p is for pen and n is for notebook.
(b) 10p + 3n = 525
We can use the elimination method to solve these two equations.
1. Multiply the first equation by 2 so that 10p will cancel out:
2(5p + 4n = 450)
- 10p + 3p = 525
10p + 8n = 900
- 10 p + 3n = 525
5n = 375
2. Divide by 5 to get n alone: n = 75
3. Plug 75 into the first equation: 5p + 4(75) = 450
5p + 300 = 450
4. Subtract 300 from 450: 5p = 150
5. Divide by 5 to get p alone: p = 30
We can test if this is correct by plugging our answers into the second equation:
10(30) + 3(75) = 525
300 + 225 = 525
525 = 525
This is a true statement, which means that our answers are correct.
In place of x you keep 6 and in place of y you keep -2
As a practical equation, this one doesn't make much sense -- why would the profit per person have a term proportional to the number of people? Let's just go with it.
That's the answer to the first part.
35/x represents a portion of the profit that's 35/x per person, or a constant $35 per tour.

Answer:
What is P(A), the probability that the first student is a girl? (3/4)
What is P(A), the probability that the first student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(B), the probability that the second student is a girl? (3/4)
What is P(A), the probability that the first student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(B), the probability that the second student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(A and B), the probability that the first student is a girl and the second student is a girl? (1/2)
The probability that the first student is a girl is (3/4), likewise for the 2nd 3rd and 4th it's still (3/4). The order you pick them doesn't matter.
However, once you're looking at P(A and B) then you're fixing the first position and saying if the first student is a girl what's the probability of the second student being a girl.
