Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people who had taken the survey is 420 wich is equivalent to 100%.

The percentage of people who drink coffee is 85%.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let x be the number of people drinking coffee

● 420 => 100%

● x => 85%

These values are proportional so we can cross-multiply them

● x*100 = 420*85

● x = (420*85)÷100

● x = 357

The number of people who drink coffee is 357.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let y be the number of people who drink black coffee.

y is 1/3 of 357 since people who drink black coffee represent the third of the total number of people drinking coffee in general.

● To get y multiply 1/3 by the total number of people drinking coffee (357)

●y = (1/3)*357

● y = 119

119 is the number of people who drink black coffee

A five-sided solid has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. What is the probability of rolling two five-sided number solids and gettin
Klio2033 [76]
We assume the probability on each side is equally probable with probability 1/5.
sum=4 has outcomes:{1,4; 2,3; 3,2; 4,1}  4 possible outcomes
sum=8 has outcomes:{3,5; 4,4; 5,3} 3 possible outcomes.
Total possible outcomes = 5*5=25
there probability of rolling a sum of 4 or 8, by the law of addition, equals
4/25+3/25=7/25

Note: a regular (i.e. fully symmetric) five-sided solid does not exist, so there has to be asymmetry among the probabilities of the five possible outcomes.  In addition, it does not have a "top" face, so that makes rolling a five-sided solid a little more difficult to visualize.

Sati [7]

Answer:

We can solve this question using the slope equation which is y2-y1/x2-x1

If you use that formula and sub in the coordinates

-4 - 5 / -1-2

-9/-3

= 3

The slope should be 3/1
