Answer:
b = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subisitute P, a, and c (P = 41, a = 19, c = 19 ) into the equation:
P = a + b + c -> 41 = 19 + b + 19
2. Combine like terms:
41 = 38 + b
3. Isolate the variable by subtratcing 38 from both sides
41 - 38 = 38 -38 + b -> 3 = b
First we need to find the probability of selecting the 1 blue marble out of the 20 marbles total, which is 1/20.
Next, we need to find the probability of tossing the fair coin so it lands tails up, which is 1/2.
To find the probability of both events happening, we need to multiply the probabilities of the two individual events:
1/20 * 1/2 = 1/40
So the answer is 1/40, or 2.5%

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :D
Step-by-step explanation:
From a, the original number is 100x the new number.
So,if the new number is 1unit --> the original is 100x 1unit --> 100units
Add the two numbers together --> 1unit + 100units --> 101 units
We also know that the difference between the two numbers is 136.62
So 100units - 1unit --> 136.62
99units -> 136.62
1unit --> 1.38
101units --> 139.38
