We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.

$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card

Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation. 

20 - 0.24x = 13.52

The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.

We can now solve the equation:

20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24

Our solution is: x = 27.

-----

An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.

$20 - $13.52 = $6.48

So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.

6.48 ÷ 24 = 27

We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

-----

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.

Find the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery, where the order in which these integers are sel
serious [3.7K]

Complete Questions:

Find the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery, where the order in which these integers are selected does not matter, from the positive integers not exceeding the given integers.

a. 40

b. 48

c. 56

d. 64

Answer:

a. 0.35

b. 0.43

c. 0.49

d. 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The objective is to find the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers from the positive integers not exceeding 40.  

Let s be the sample space of all integer not exceeding 40.

The total number of ways to select 6 numbers from 40 is |S| = C(40,6).

Let E be the event of selecting none of the correct six integers.

The total number of ways to select the 6 incorrect numbers from 34 numbers is:

|E| = C(34,6)

Thus, the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers, when the order in which they are selected does rot matter is  

P(E) = \frac{|E|}{|S|}

         = \frac{C(34, 6)}{C(40, 6)}\\\\= \frac{1344904}{3838380}\\\\=0.35

Therefore, the probability is 0.35
