Answer:

Solid paper costs 1.75 each

Printed paper costs 2.50 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of printed paper)

Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of printed paper)

Let x = solid paper

Let y = printed paper

12x + 9y = 43.50

 8x + 15y = 51.50

Find x:

8x + 15y = 51.50

8x = 51.50 - 15y

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

Substitute x:

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8

618 - 180y + 72y = 348

-108y = 348 - 618

-108y = -270

-108y/-108 = -270/-108

y = 2.50

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8

x = (51.50 - 37.50)/8

x = 14/8

x = 1.75

To check: x = 1.75 ; y = 2.5

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50

21 + 22.50 = 43.50

43.50 = 43.50

8x + 15y = 51.50

8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50

14 + 37.50 = 51.50

51.50 = 51.50

You roll two standard number cubes. What is the probability that the sum is odd, given than one of the number cubes shows a 1?
Virty [35]
 It's not specified whether 1 is the 1st or 2nd roll: HOWER:

The 1st Roll is "1": P(odd sum/the 1st Roll is 1)
What is the sample space of all numbers starting with "1":
{(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6),} = 6
the couple of add sum=(1,2), (1,4), (1,6), =3
P(odd sum/ 1st is 1) = 3/6 =1/2
or in applying the formula:

P(odd sum/the 1st Roll is 1) =P(odd sum ∩ 1) / P(getting "1") it will give the same probability = 1/2

NOW if the 2nd Roll is "1", it 's still 1/2
