Emmitt’s fix-it shop sells used alarm clocks. Although they usually cost $18, today Emmitt has taken 2/3 off the regular price.

How much is discounted by buying an alarm clock today?

The discounted clock would be 6 dollars. I found this by creating a table with 3/3, 2/3, and 1/3 on one side and the 18 across from 3/3 since it is the regular price. To find 2/3 I think we should find 1/3 first. To find that we simply divide 18 by 3 since we are finding one third of 18. Luckily 3 evenly goes into 18 6 times. Now we aren’t done, that is 1/3 so we double the 1/3 which is 2/3 and we double the 6 which is 12. Now that we know how much those cost, it says 2/3 off. The regular price was 18 and 2/3 was 12 so 18-2/3 is 18-12 which equals 6. The discounted alarm clock is $6.00.

translate into an algebraic expression: 120 is decreased by d% and increased by 25%. what is the result
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

150(1-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

120 is decreased by d%

Let x = d%

120 - 120*x

120(1-x)

Then it is increased by 25%

(120 (1-x)) +(120 (1-x))*.25

(120 (1-x)) +(30 (1-x))

150(1-x)

Due to manufacturing error, three cans of regular soda were accidentally filled with diet soda and placed in a 12-pack. Suppose
zzz [600]

Answer:

a) 2/44 = 0.045

b) 9/22 = 0.409

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability the first can is diet soda is 3/12.

The probability the second can is diet soda is 2/11.

The probability of both is (3/12) (2/11) = 2/44 ≈ 0.045.

Alternatively, you can use combinations:

₃C₂ × ₉C₀ / (₁₂C₂) = 2/44

b) If the first can is diet soda, and the second can isn't, the probability is (3/12) (9/11) = 9/44.

If the first can isn't diet soda, and the second can is, the probability is (9/12) (3/11) = 9/44.

The total probability is 9/44 + 9/44 = 9/22 ≈ 0.409.

Alternatively, using combinations:

₃C₁ × ₉C₁ / (₁₂C₂) = 9/22
