Answer with explanation:

Consider an example of tossing a dice once

Total favorable outcome =6={1,2,3,4,5,6}

  X_{i}=\text{multiple of 2}={2,4,6}\\\\X_{j}=\text{multiple of 3}={3,6}\\\\P(\text{An Event})=\frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total favorable outcome}}\\\\P(X_{i}})=\frac{3}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}\\\\P(X_{j}})=\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\\\\\rightarrow X_{i} \cap X_{j}={6}\\\\\rightarrow P(X_{i} \cap X_{j})=\frac{1}{6}\\\\\rightarrow P(X_{i} \cap X_{j})=P(X_{i})\times P(X_{j})

Hence proved.

A product is now £50, the product was reduced by 20%, what was the original price
olga nikolaevna [1]

the original price is "x", or 100%.

but we know that if we reduce "x" by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, the 80% of "x" is really £50, what is "x" or the 100% anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 50&80 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{50}=\cfrac{100}{80}\implies \cfrac{x}{50}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=250 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{250}{4}\implies x=62.5
