Answer:

B = 31, C = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the number of Black printer ink cartridges and C be the number of color printer ink cartridges.

42 were sold in total, hence,

B+C= 42 ------------(1)

Also, its given that

14.99 B+20.99C= 695.58 ------(2)

Multiplying (1) by 20.99,

14.99 B+14.99 C= 629.58 ------(3)

Now, subtracting (3) from (2),

14.99 B+20.99C= 695.58

14.99 B+14.99 C= 629.58

------------------------------------

6 C = 66

C= 66/6

C = 11

We know, B+ C= 49

Hence B = 42- 11 = 31

B = 31

Hence, number of Black printer ink cartridges = 31 and color printer ink cartridges = 11 .

In a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 21. If the player matches all six numbers, they win 40,000 dollars. Othe
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The expected value of this game is -$0.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value:

Each possible earning/loss multiplied by it's probability.

Probability:

Number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the numbers are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Probability of winning:

Desired outcomes:

The 6 correct numbers, so D = 6

Total outcomes:

6 numbers from a set of 21. So

T = C_{21,6} = \frac{21!}{6!15!} = 54264

Probability:

p = \frac{1}{54265}

Expected value

\frac{1}{54265} probability of earning 40,000.

\frac{54264}{54265} probability of losing 1. So

E = \frac{40,000}{54265} - \frac{54264}{54265} = -0.26

The expected value of this game is -$0.26.

Given that the product of two positive integers is 44, and their least common multiple is 22, what is their greatest common divi
swat32

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

For any positive numbers a,b we always have the following identity:

a\cdot b=gcd(a,b)\cdot lcm(a,b)

(gcd(a,b) denotes the greatest common divisor between a and b, and lcm(a,b) denotes the least common multiple between a and b)

In our case, we are given that a\cdot b = 44 and that lcm(a,b)=22. Plugging that in into our identity, we get:

44=gcd(a,b)\cdot 22

And so solving for gcd(a,b):

gcd(a,b)=\frac{44}{22}=2

Ten less than three times the sum of a number and five is equal to twenty-nine. What is the number ?
kozerog [31]
Hello!
So the following would be your equation.
3(x+5)-10= 29
Your first step would be to use the Distributive Property based upon PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). Since we have Parenthesis, we distribute first.
3(x+5)-10=29
^ ^
——————
So, your new equation would be—
3x+15-10=29
Now, you need to combine like terms—
15-10=29
3x+5=29
——————
Therefore your new equation is—
3x+5=29.
Now you need to move the constants (5,29) to one side of the equal sign. To do this, you would use the Subtraction Property of Equality and rid the 5–
3x+5=29
-5 -5
——————
Your equation is now—
3x=24.
Finally, you need to remove the 3 from x. This means you must use the Division Property of Equality, and rid the 3.
3x=24
— —
3 3
Your solved equation is—
X=8

Hope this helped!
