First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>

<u>Let's take this problem step by step</u>:
<u>To find the rate of change is essentially like finding a line's slope</u>:
⇒ the <em>x-values</em> are the <em>number of sodas</em>
⇒ the<em> y-values </em>are the <em>total costs</em>
<em> ⇒ choose</em> two sets of coordinates and find the slope
<u>Let's put that into action</u>
⇒ (24, 18)
⇒ (28, 21)

<u>Since the rate of change is total cost over number of sodas</u>
⇒ <em>unit is '</em>total cost/number of sodas'
<u>Answer: 3/4 total cost/number of sodas</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helps!

Solve for y. the slope will be m, y intercept will be b
Answer:
$7.52 = 7 dollars and 52 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that three pounds of coffee = $22.56
1 pound of coffee = $22.56/3
Thus, we would have:
.
A pound of coffee = $7.52
$7.52 = 7 dollars and 52 cents.
