Answer: the original price of the skirt is $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the skirt. if the original price of the blouse is 18, then the original price of the skirt and blouse is (x + 18)

Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4of their original price. It means that the amount at which she bought the skirt and blouse is

0.75(x + 18)

Applying the distributive property, it becomes

0.75x + 13.5

Jade pays a total of 31.50 for the two items. It means that

0.75x + 13.5 = 31.5

0.75x = 31.5 - 13.5

0.75x = 18

x = 18/0.75

x = $24

There are 4 jacks and 13 clubs in a standard, 52-card deck of playing cards. What is the probability that a card picked at rando
Tju [1.3M]

With 4 jacks in the deck of 52, there is a 4/52 = 1/13 probability of drawing 1 jack.

With 13 clubs in the deck, there is a 13/52 = 1/4 probability of drawing 1 card of clubs.

1 of the cards in the deck is both a jack and of suit of clubs, which has a 1/52 probability of being drawn.

P(club OR jack) = P(club) + P(jack) - P(club AND jack) = 13/52 + 4/52 - 1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13

So the answer is B.
