Answer:

Let x be the number of pencils Steve bought.

Let y be the number of erasers Steve bought.

x=y+5

0.1x + 0.25y = 1.55

Solving the system, our answer is: (8, 3)

So, she bought 3 erasers.

Answer:

The required probability is 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

red balls = 3

yellow balls = 2

blue balls = 5

Selected balls = 5

Number of elemnets in sample space = 10 C 5 = 1260

Ways to choose 1 red ball and 4 other colours = (3 C 1 ) x (7 C 4) = 105

Ways to choose 5 balls of other colours = 7 C 5 = 21

So, the probability is

$\frac{105}{1260} + \frac {21}{1260}\\\\\frac{126}{1260}=0.1$
