Answer:

Pr = \frac{2}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A roll of two dice

Required

Probability of getting a sum of 8

First, we list out the sample space

S =\{(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (1, 6),(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6), (3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3)(3, 4) (3, 5) (3, 6), (4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (4, 6),(5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) ,(5, 4) ,(5, 5) ,(5, 6),

(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 3) (6, 4) (6, 5) (6, 6)\}

The total is:

n(S) = 36

From the sample space, the outcomes that give a sum of 8 are:

Sum  =\{(2, 6), (3, 5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)\}

The total is:

n(Sum) = 8

So, the probability is:

Pr = \frac{n(Sum)}{n(S)}

Pr = \frac{8}{36}

Pr = \frac{2}{9}

Julie cashed a paycheck and repaired her brother $10 that she borrowed from him. She then spent $30 on fuel for her car and half
pochemuha
Remark
She starts out with x
She spends 10 dollars paying back her brother (that's - 10)
She spends 30 dollars on fuel (that - 30)
She spends 1/2 what's left on a tent ( that's 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) )
She then spent 29.45  on running shoes. 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) + 29.45 is her expenditures.

After all that she has 17.75 left. 

Equation
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) - 29.45 = 17.75   

Solve
Begin by adding 29.95 to both sides. 
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30)  = 17.75 + 29.45 
x -10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30)  = 47.20  Add the like terms on the left.
x - 40 - 1/2(x - 40) = 47.20 Add 40 to both sides. Don't go inside the brackets.
x - 1/2x + 1/2 (40) = 87.20
1/2 x + 20 = 87.20                        Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/2 x = 67.20                                Multiply by 2
x = 134.40
