Elijahlouis, I will not sure how I am going on with my friends. we will need the following
Answer:
The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price
First take 60 percent off
x - x*60% = new price
x- .60x = .40x
The new price is .40x
Then take 15 % off
(.40x) - (.40x)*15%
.40x - .40x*.15
.40x - .06x
.34x
100 -.34 =.66
The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off
Because it says "not black" we would do white marbles
There are 15 white marbles and a total of 20
So the fraction of white marbles to total would be 15/20
Because the answer is wanted as a decimal divide 15 by 20
15/20=.75
There is a .75 chance that she will not draw a black marble
Equation would be: 25.15 - 1.75x
Where, x = number of days.
Substitute for x = 3,
= 25.15 - 1.75(3)
= 25.15 - 5.25
= 19.90
In short, Your Answer would be $19.90
Hope this helps!
