Answer:

pencil: $2

marker: $0.75

eraser: $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the prices of one pencil, one marker, and one eraser be p, m, and e, respectively.

Gloria:

8p + 4m + 6e = 22         Eq. 1

Teresa:

5p + 7m + 8e = 19.25      Eq. 2

Rebecca:

5p + 5m + 4e = 15.75       Eq. 3

Subtract Eq. 3 from Eq. 2:

2m + 4e = 3.5                Eq. 4

Multiply Eq. 2 by 8 and subtract from it Eq. 1 multiplied by 5.

       40p + 56m + 64e = 154           Eq. 2 times 8

(-)     40p + 20m + 30e = 110            Eq. 1 times 5

----------------------------------------

                  36m + 34e = 44        

                  18m + 17e = 22              Eq.5

Now use Equations 4 and 5 as a system of two equations in two variables.

Multiply Eq. 4 by 18. Subtract Eq. 5 from it.

       36m + 72e = 63

(-)     36m + 34e = 44

-----------------------------

                  38e = 19

e = 19/38

e = 0.5

Now substitute e = 0.5 into Eq. 4 to fond m.

2m + 4e = 3.5

2m + 4(0.5) = 3.5

2m + 2 = 3.5

2m = 1.5

m = 0.75

Substitute e = 0.5 and m = 0.75 into Eq. 1 to find p.

8p + 4m + 6e = 22

8p + 4(0.75) + 6(0.5) = 22

8p + 3 + 3 = 22

8p = 16

p = 2

Answer:

pencil: $2

marker: $0.75

eraser: $0.5

Sarah has two tests at school next week, a math test and a physics test. Let A represent the event that she passes her math test
koban [17]

Answer:

P(B)=0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

When the events do not affect each other, they are known as independent events. In other words, two events are independent if the outcome of the second event is not affected by the outcome of the first event.

If A and B are independent events, the probability that both events will occur is the product of the probabilities that the individual events will occur:

P(A and B)= P(A)*P(B)

In this case, P(A and B)= 0.21 and P(A)= 0.30

Replacing:

0.21=0.30*P(B)

Solving:

\frac{0.21}{0.30} =P(B)

<u><em>0.7=P(B)</em></u>
