If we flip three coins, we get:
H H H
H H T
H T H
T H H
H T T
T H T
T T H
T T T
Based on our sample space, we have three ways to get two tails.
298 x 0.062 = the amount that is deducted
298 x 0.062 = 18.476
The total amount of money she has earned this year is given to you just to confuse you. All you really need is the percent converted to a decimal, which is 0.062, and her weekly pay, which is $298. You multiply these two together to get 18.476, which when rounded becomes $18.48.
So, every week, $18.48 is deducted from her weekly pay.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's call these numbers x and y and model the information we have.
x=1/5y
y-x=228 (we see that x is smaller than y in the first equation, so we put it second )
We see that x is equal to 1/5y. We can switch the x in the second equation with 1/5y and solve for y.
y-1/5y=228
4/5y=228
We divide both sides by 4/5.
y=285
We know that x is 1/5 of y, so we divide by 5.
285/5=57
x=57
So, our numbers are 57 and 285.
Have a wonderful day! :D
D because for a sequence you can't have a -1st term so b is out and a and c mean the same thing so neither of them can be the answer
