You would have no trouble at all if the problem said "11 cows - 8 cows",
or "11 books - 8 books", or "11 cats - 8 cats", or "11 footballs - 8 footballs".
So why does it scare you when the items being counted are 'm's ?
Oh ! Here's another beauty: 11 M&Ms - 8 M&Ms = ?
Answer:4 and 7/12
Explanation: 6 10/12 - 2 3/12 = 4 7/12
Answer:
280 student tickets
520 adult tickets
Explanation:
I'm guessing this is the question you meant to ask:
Eight hundred tickets were sold for a movie production and the receipts for the performance wear $8600. The tickets for adults and students sold for $12.50 and $7.50, respectively. How many of each ticket were sold?
Let A be the event 'made by Apex and defective':
P(A) = 0.67 x 0.11 = 0.0737
Let B be the event 'made by B-ink and defective':
P(B) = 0.33 x 0.06 = 0.0198
Let C be the event 'made by Apex or B-ink and defective':
P(C) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.0737 + 0.0198 = 0.0935
P(defective and made by Apex) = 0.0737/0.0935 = 0.788
The answer is 0.788 or 78.8%.
