Answer:

11/35

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 21 people in the group, 12 of whom are not Democrats.  The members are selected in succession.  The probability the first member isn't a Democrat is 12/21.

Now there are 20 people remaining, 11 of who are not Democrats.  So the probability the second member isn't a Democrat is 11/20.

The total probability is (12/21) (11/20) = 11/35

Twelve ounces of Brand X costs $1.14. Sixteen ounces of Brand Y costs $1.28. Brand X costs how much more per ounce than Brand Y.
bearhunter [10]
"Per" means "divided by", so "cost per ounce" means "cost"/"ounces".

The difference in cost per ounce is
.. (1.14/12) -(1.28/16) = .095 -.08 = 0.015

Brand X costs 1.5¢ more per ounce than Brand Y.

Solve the problems using systems of equations.
maw [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y =5 ---1

x-y =-3 ---2

Rearrange equation 1

x =5-y

Substitute x in the second equation

(5-y)-y =-3

5-y-y =-3

5-2y =-3

Collect like terms

5+3 = 2y

8 = 2y

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y (2)

8/2 = 2y/2

4 = y

y= 4

Substitute y in equation 1

x+4 =5

Subtract 4 from both sides

x+4-4 = 5-4

x+0 = 1

x= 1

The two numbers are 1 and 4
