Answer:
11 cats
Step-by-step explanation:
I did trial and error.
I started with 16 cats and 17 dogs, so:
(16x$2.5) + (17x$4.5) = $116.5
The value is too low which means that they spent more money on the expensive side (i.e., dogs).
I ended up with 11 cats and 22 dogs, so:
(11x$2.5) + (22x$4.5) = $126.5
Answer: instead of X put 5 and instead of y put 2
5+6(2)
5+12= 17
Alrighty! D represents the miles. It is constant, or exact, the whole time (t).
Knowing that, we can write the equation, almost like a story.
Math: 6t=d
Words: 6 miles every hour= results in your distance.
Does the make sense?
Probability is the study of calculating the chances or likelihood of an event occurring out of the total number of events. This likelihood is always presented as part of a whole. It could be in fractions or percentages.
There are two techniques to apply to this problem. First, we use the repeated trial equation:
P = n!/r!(n-r)! * p^(n-r) * q^r
This is used to determine the probability that an event will occur exactly 'r' times out of 'n' trials. p is the probability of success, while q is the probability of failure. Together, they add up to 1. In this case, each kind of plant has 1/3 probability. So, p=1/3 and q=2/3.
Second thing to note when dealing with probability problems are 'hint words'. When you are asked to find the probability of event A 'AND' event B happening, then you multiply their probabilities. However, when you are asked to find the probability of event A 'OR' event B happening, then you add their probabilities. Hence, the solution to this problem is:
P = 6!/4!(6-4)! * (1/3)^6-4 * (2/3)^4 + 6!/5!(6-5)! * (1/3)^6-5 * (2/3)^5
P = 0.596 or 59.6%
