On a shelf there are 60 novels and 20 poetry books. Person A chooses a book at random off the shelf and leaves with it. Shortly after, Person B chooses another book at random. Calculate: 1)The probability that the book selected by Person B is a novel? = A picks a novel and B picks a novel OR A picks poetry and B picks novel =( 60/80*59/79) + ( 20/80* 60/59) = 0.75 2)

Find the discount if a $69.99 item is on sale for $39.99.

The easiest way to do it (for me) is to find 1% of the regular price. I think we can round the prices to $70,00 and $40,00 to show nice percentage.

70 / 100 = 0,7

So 1% is 0,7. Now we can divide $40,00 by 0,7 to calculate how many percent it is:

40 / 0,7 = 57 (after rounding it to the nearest whole number)

So the discount was 100 - 57 = 43 percent.

Doublecheck (optional):

70 * 57% =
= 70 * 57/100 =
= 7 * 57/10 =
= 7 * 5 7,10 =
= 7 * 5,7 =
= 39,9 (the price after the discount)

70 * 43% =
= 70 * 43/100 =
= 7 * 43/10 =
= 7 * 4 3/10 =
= 7 * 4,3 =
= 30,1 (the value of the discount)

The difference of 0,1 is because of the rounding, but it's correct.
