Aysha has 40 cubes in a bag.

Mathematics

Given:

Total number of cubes = 40

Red cubes = 18

Blue cubes = 13

Yellow cubes = 9

Aysha adds some more red cubes into the bag.

The probability now that she will take a red cube is 0.5.

To find:

The probability that she will take a yellow cube.

Solution:

Let Aysha adds x red cubes into the bag. Then,

Number of total cubes = 40+x

Number of red cubes = 18+x

Probability of getting a red cube is:

P(Red)=\dfrac{18+x}{40+x}

The probability now that she will take a red cube is 0.5. So,

\dfrac{18+x}{40+x}=0.5

18+x=0.5(40+x)

18+x=20+0.5x

x-0.5x=20-18

0.5x=2

Divide both sides by 0.5.

x=\dfrac{2}{0.5}

x=4

It means Aysha adds 4 more red cubes into the bag.

Now, the total number of cubes int he bag is:

40+4=44

Probability of getting a yellow cube is:

P(Yellow)=\dfrac{\text{Number of yellow cubes}}{\text{Total number of cubes}}

P(Yellow)=\dfrac{9}{44}

Therefore, the required probability is P(Yellow)=\dfrac{9}{44}.

Olve for x. Check each step or answer that is correct. 34(x + 4) = 14(x + 8) (A) Distribute 34 on the left side of the equation.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

x = -1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Th given equation is :

34(x + 4) = 14(x + 8)

Step (A) Distribute 34 on the left side of the equation such as :

34x + 34(4) = 14(x + 8)

34x + 136 = 14(x + 8)

Step (B) Distribute 14 on the right side of the equation such as :

34x + 136 = 14x + 14(8)

34x + 136 = 14x + 112

Step (C) Subtract 14x from each side of the equation.

34x + 136 - 14x = 14x + 112 -14x

20x + 136 = 112

Step (D) Subtract 136 from each side of the equation.

20x + 136 -136 = 112 -136

20x = -24

Step (E) Divide both side by 20

\dfrac{20x}{20}=\dfrac{-24}{20}\\\\x=-1.2

So, the value of x is (-1.2). Hence, steps (D) and (E) are incorrect.

givi [52]
I = Prt, where P = $1,295; r = 7/100 = 0.07, t = 180/365

I = 1,295 x 0.07 x 180/365 = $44.70
