Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy, Beth and Catherine bought the same amount of apples.

let s say this is x

Amy has x amount of apples

Beth has x amount of apples

Catherine has x amount of apples

Catherine gave same amount of apples to Amy and Beth

let s say this is y

Amy has x + y amount of apples

Beth has x + y amount of apples

Catherine has x - 2y amount of apples

Catherine has 15 less than Amy so x-2y=x+y-15

Catherine has 15 less than Beth so x-2y=x+y-15

so finally, it comes x-2y=x+y-15

so 3y=15 and then y =5

Catherine gave 5 lb to Amy and 5lb to Beth

Catherine receives $12.5 from both of them

it means that 10lb costs $12.5 so the price for each lb is $1.25

thanks

Simplify sine squared theta divided by the quantity 1 minus sine squared theta..
timama [110]
Answer: tan^2ø
(i’m gonna use ø as theta because i can’t find it)

explanation:
sin^2ø-1=cos^2ø because of one of the pythagorean identities

sin^2ø/cos^2ø is tan^2ø because sin/cos is tan- opposite/hypotenuse divided by adjacent/hypotenuse is opposite/adjacent

hope that helps- you can comment if you need any more explanation :)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

  10/13 ≈ 76.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A∪B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A∩B)

P(plays basketball ∪ plays baseball)

   = P(plays basketball) +P(plays baseball) -P(plays both)

P(plays basketball ∪ plays baseball) = 16/26 +9/26 -5/26 = 20/26 = 10/13

P(plays basketball or baseball) = 10/13 ≈ 76.9%
