Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two types of spinners here and the outcome of them is independent. That means
P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)
There are two odd numbers out of four numbers in the first spinner. The chance of odd number will be:
P(odd) = 2/(2+2)= 1/2= 50%
There are four letters and the desired outcome is C. The chance for C will be:
P(C)= 1/4= 25%
Then the chance will be:
P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)
P(odd number,C) =50% * 25% = 12.5%
The formula for the problem is: An = 8(n-1) - 2

Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected
6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165 ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618 ------------------------- (eqn 2)
(eqn 1) :
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 2)
6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 1)
x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72
x = 72 and y = 93
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You do 5.5x4=22, so you can drive 22 miles for every gallon of gas.
