0.10c + 0.12b = 2.18
c = 4b + 1

0.10(4b + 1) + 0.12b = 2.18
0.40b + 0.10 + 0.12b = 2.18
0.40b + 0.12b = 2.18 - 0.10
0.52b = 2.08
b = 2.08 / 0.52
b = 4 <==== she had 4 bottles

c = 4b + 1
c = 4(4) + 1
c = 16 + 1
c = 17 <=== she had 17 cans

This is like the equivalent to a jar with 4 green balls and 6 white balls, where you are picking 3. (The 4 green balls signify the friends from kindergarten.) 

You want to solve the probability that the first two balls are green and the third is white. 
First draw --> 4 green out of 10 balls --> 4/10 = 2/5 

Second draw --> 3 green out of 9 balls --> 3/9 = 1/3 

Third draw --> 6 white out of 8 balls --> 6/8 = 3/4 


2/5 x 1/3 x 3/4 

= 6/60 

= 1/10 


so the answer is 1/10 (or 10%)

Andrej [43]
40 x 8.50 = 340
340  x  .0765 = 26.01

So the employer should withhold $26.01 from her check for social security.
