You find the probability of an event happening if you divide the number of times that event has actually happened in the experiment by the number of total events that has happened. If you want to find the probability of the used car, you have to know..
how many used cars were there? 15
how many cars were there? 40
Therefore, the probability of buying a used car is 15/40 or 3/8.
Answer:
Carlos and Pamela drove 120 miles on the first day, 240 miles on the second day, and 290 miles on the third day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of miles driven on the first day.
Then they drove twice as many miles, or 2x on the second day
and 50 miles more than the second day's, so 2x + 50
The total is 650 across all three days, so we'll take the sum.
x + 2x + (2x + 50) = 650
Combine like terms on the left
5x + 50 = 650
Subtract 50 on both sides
5x = 600
Divide by 5 on both sides
x = 120
Check work:
120 + 2(120) + 2(120) + 50 = 650
120 + 240 + 240 + 50 = 650
600 + 50 = 650
650 = 650
So they drove 120 miles on the first day
2*120 = 240 miles on the second day
and 2*120 + 50 = 240 + 50 = 290 miles on the third day

=3x^2+12x
Answer:
$6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
you want to find out what 40% of the original price is ($11)
100% = 11
10%= 1.1
to get 40% you times it by 4
40%= 4.4
you then have to take away the sale reduction from the original
11- 4.4 =$6.6
