Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories.
vampirchik [111]
◆ Define the variables:

Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b

◆ Form the equations:

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:

a + 2b = 774

Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories

2a + b = 786

◆ Solve the equations:

From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b

Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie

◆ Find caloric content:

Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie

Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie

-7p = -3p - 8<br> p =<br> Help
jeka94

Answer:

p=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7p = -3p - 8

Add 3p to each side

-7p+3p = -3p+3p - 8

-4p = -8

Divide each side by -4

-4p/-4 = -8/-4

p = 2
