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

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The question has a missing part and here it the complete question:

Imagine each letter of the word “Mathematical” is written on individual pieces of paper and placed in a bag. Should you pick a random letter from that bag, what is the probability that you pick a vowel?

Answer: 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability of picking a vowel.

From the word 'Mathematical', we have a total of 12 letters and a total of 5 vowels (a,e,a,i,a).

Probability of picking a vowel = Total number of times the event(vowel) occurs/total number of possible outcomes(total letters)

Probability = \frac{5}{12}

That triangle in the corner is an right angle isosceles triangle as that line the midpoint of both sides :

the base angle of this triangle (x) will be :

180 = 90 + 2x

90 = 2x

x= 45

Angles on a straight line add up to 180. So to work out a :

180 = 45 + a

135 = a
