Let w = number of weeks.
In week w,
Laura has: 720 + 30w
Taylor has: 1200 - 30w
Set the two amounts equal and solve for w, the number of weeks.
720 + 30w = 1200 - 30w
60w = 480
w = 8
They will have the same amount of money in 8 weeks.
Laura will have in 8 weeks:
720 + 30w = 720 + 30 * 8 = 720 + 240 = 960
Taylor will have in 8 weeks:
1200 - 30w = 1200 - 30 * 8 = 1200 - 240 = 960
They will both have $960 in 8 weeks.
Area= l×w
= 8/9 × 2/3
=16/27
area = 16/27 m²

Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.
P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes
It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.
P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18
P(1 or 17) = 2/18
Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.
2/18 simplifies to 1/9
So, your answer is 1/9
