Answer:

A(tomatos)

Step-by-step explanation:

So to sovle these, we have to look at the percentage chart, and take the percentage of each thing.

tomato - 30%
cucumber - 15%
peas - 45%
onion - 10%

We know that divide these numbers by 100 gets us the amount we can multiply the total by, which gives us our answer.

So tomato is .3, cucumber is .15, peas are .45, and onion is .1.

Now, lets mutiply these nubmers by the 60 and see what we get:

.1*60

That seems correcdt for the onion

.45 * 60

27. That looks correct for peas.

.15 * 60

9 That looks correct for cucumber

.3*60

18. Thats not 20! So that must be the answer!

Hope this helps!

A ball is drawn at random from a box containing 12 red,18

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

For a: The probability of getting a red or blue ball is 0.48

For b: The probability of getting a white, blue or orange ball is 0.81

For c: The probability of getting neither white or orange ball is 0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to occurs. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Number of red balls in a box = 12

Number of white balls in a box = 18

Number of blue balls in a box = 19

Number of orange balls in a box = 15

Total balls in a box = [12 + 18 + 19 + 15] = 64

For a:

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be red or blue) = [12 + 19] = 31

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Probability of getting a red or blue ball}=\frac{31}{64}=0.48$

For b:

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or blue or orange) = [18 + 19 + 15] = 52

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Probability of getting a white or blue or orange ball}=\frac{52}{64}=0.81$

For c:

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or orange) = [18 + 15] = 33

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Probability of getting a white or orange ball}=\frac{33}{64}=0.52$

Probability of getting a ball which is neither white or orange = [1 - (Probability of getting a white or orange ball)] = [1 - 0.52] = 0.48

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars

Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels

Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold

From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
