Answer:
seventeen out of twenty
Step-by-step explanation:
The phrase that describes this probability would be
seventeen out of twenty
This is because the bag has a total of 20 candies ( 3 strawberry chews and 17 cherry chews). If he randomly chooses one from the bag, he has a 17/20 chance of getting a cherry chew because there are 17 total cherry chews in the bag. If we were to change this fraction into a phrase it would be the phrase above in bold.
x + 4 – 7x = 22
Combine like terms
-6x + 4 = 22
Subtract 4 from both sides
-6x = 18
Divide both sides by -6
x = -3
Answer:
85 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent the price of pineapples
Let p represent the price of peaches
74p + 9a= 14p + 21a
p = 17 cents
Substitute 17 for p
74(17) + 9a = 14(17) + 21a
1258+9a= 238+21a
1258-238= 21a-9a
1020= 12a
a= 1020/12
a= 85
Hence the price of pineapples is 85 cents
It is b i think hope this helps
It would be 7.45 since the -3.05 and the -9.5 together would equal -12.55 which subtracted from 20 would equal 7.45
