<h3>Answer: 4/5</h3>

Explanation:

We have 24 adults who passed and 16 teens who passed. So 24+16 = 40 people passed total.

There are 24+8+16+2 = 50 people total

If you pick someone at random, the probability of them passing is 40/50 = 4/5.

In decimal form, this is 4/5 = 0.80 which converts to 80%

Answer: the cost of the car is $54600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of the car.

She pays a deposit equal to 20% of the cost of the car. This means that the amount of money that she paid as deposit would be

20/100 × x = 0.2 × x = 0.2x

The remaining balance would be

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

She will pay the balance in 8 equal payments of $5460 each month. This means that

0.8x/8 = 5460

0.1x = 5460

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 0.1, it becomes

0.1x/0.1 = 5460/0.1

x = 54600

Factor 48m - 80n.<br> 16mn(3m - 5n)<br> 16(5n - 3m)<br> 16(3m - 5n)

aliya0001 [1]

The correct answer for this would be the last option. The factors of 48m - 80n are 16(3m - 5n). If you try to solve this, the result would be 48m - 80n. 16 x 3m would be 48m and 16 times 5n would be 80n. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
