Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

The numbers 1 through 15 are written on cards. One card is chosen at random. Event A is choosing a
lana [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability is always the number of desired cases over the number of all possible cases.

in our situation we have 15 cards.

that is the total possible cases when a random card is chosen.

how many desired cases do we have ?

a number NOT a multiple of 5.

how many are there ?

it is easier to say how many numbers there are being a multiple of 5 : 5, 10, 15

so, 3 numbers out of the 15 are multiple of 5.

that means

15 - 3 = 12 numbers of the 15 are NOT multiples of 5.

so, the probability to draw a card that is not a multiple of 5 is

12/15 = 4/5 = 0.8

the information about event B and even numbers is irrelevant for the question.

MARKING YOU BRAINLIST AND 5 STARS! A tire from Karen's car is shown below. Which is the closest to the distance traveled, in fee
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

18.86 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

One rotation of the tire is equal to the circumference of the tire

The formula for circumference of a circle (remember that a tire is shaped as a circle) = πd

where

π = 22/7

d = diameter

The size of one revolution = 2 x 22/7 = 44/7 feet

The distance covered in one rotation of the tire is 44/7 feet

The distance covered in 3 rotations = (44/7) x 3 = 18.86 feet
