Answer: the prices of the gifts are $6.4 and $19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of the cheaper gift.

Let y represent the price of the costlier gift.

The price of one gift was 3 times the cost of the other. It means that the price of the costlier gift is expressed as

y = 3x

If both gifts cost $25.60 altogether, it means that

x + y = 25.60- - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x = 25.6

4x = 25.6

x = 25.6/4

x = $6.4

y = 3x = 3 × 6.4

y = $19.2

Alika [10]

Answer: G and F are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur together

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of mutually exclusive events,

The events which can not occur together and probability of them occurring together is 0 are known as mutually exclusive events.

The first statement gives an implication that if one happens then other happens meaning they could both still happen so it is not true.

The second statement contradict the question about being mutually exclusive events.

The third statement also is a implication that if one event occurs then other does or does not occur.

The last statement is correct one that conforms with the question and obeys the definition of mutually exclusive events.
