1) first pick red 5/9 blue 4/9
2) second pick when red has been picked red now becomes 4/8, blue stays 4/8
2) Second pick when blue has been picked blue now becomes 3/8, red stays 5/8
Mind you, you only need both different colours so:
first pick red 5/9 x sec pick blue 4/8 = 20/72
and first pick blue 4/9 x sec pick red 5/8 = 20/72
add both up 20/72 + 20/72 = 40/72 = 5/9
Answer:
Pies=$0.85
Donuts= $1.20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation let p stand for the number of pies and d stand for the number of donuts.
To solve this set up 2 equations, one representing bill and the other representing Mary Ann.
- Bill's equation is 5p+7d=$12.65.
- Mary Ann's equation is 6p+6d=$12.30
Then solve using a system of equations. Systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution. I will use substitution. Solve bill's equation for p. This gives you
. Then, you can substitute that into Mary Ann's equation. This looks like
. Solve for d. Once you solve d=1.20. Finally, substitute 1.20 back into either Bill's or Mary Ann's for d and solve for p. No matter which equation you use p=0.85.
