A cooler contains ten bottles of sports drink: four lemon-lime flavored, three orange-flavored, and three fruit-punch flavored.

Alika [10]

Since there are a total of 10 bottles, the probability of getting a certain one is based on the number of those bottles in the cooler.

The probability of getting a lemon-lime flavored drink is 4/10 or 40%.

The probability of getting a orange flavored drink is 3/10 or 30%

The probability of getting a fruitpunch flavored drink is also 3/10 or 30%.

If the question is asking what the probability is of choosing lemon-lime, fruit punch and fruit punch again in that order, you would multiply the probabilities together.

.4 * .3 * .3 = .036, so there’s a 3.6% chance of picking these exact 3 flavors happening again.

William is 3 years, older than Charmine. The sum of 3 times Charmaine's age and 2 times William's age is 76. How old are William

lana66690 [7]

William is 17 years old and Charmaine is 14 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of William and y be the age of Charmaine

Then

William is 3 years, older than Charmine.

x = y+3 Eqn 1

The sum of 3 times Charmaine's age and 2 times William's age is 76.

2x+3y = 76 Eqn 2

Putting x = y+3 in Eqn 2

$2(y+3)+3y=76\\2y+6+3y=76\\5y+6=76\\Subtracting\ 6\ from\ both\ sides\\5y+6-6=76-6\\5y=70\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{70}{5}\\y=14\\Putting\ the\ value\ of\ y\ in\ Eqn\ 1\\x=y+3\\x=14+3\\x=17$
