Work Shown:
A = selects green pair of shorts
B = selects gray t-shirt
P(A) = probability of selecting green shorts
P(A) = (number of green shorts)/(number of shorts total)
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = probability of selecting gray t-shirt
P(B) = (number of gray t-shirts)/(number of t-shirts total)
P(B) = 1/4
P(A and B) = probability of selecting green shorts AND gray t-shirt
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... since A and B are independent events
P(A and B) = (1/6)*(1/4)
P(A and B) = (1*1)/(6*4)
P(A and B) = 1/24
Note: The fraction 1/24 is approximately equal to 0.041667
A. m/5
That is the answer because there are 5 of you, and the money is divided between 5 people.
2x + 1 = 2A + 3(x + A)
You want x=2 to be a solution.
So the equation will be a true statement when
2(2) + 1 = 2A + 3(2 + A)
4 + 1 = 2A + 6 + 3A
Combine like terms: 5 = 5A + 6
Subtract 6 from each side: -1 = 5A
Divide each side by 5: <em> -0.2 = A</em>
We make the assumption that 150 is 100% since it is our output value. Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=150$100%=150. Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=25$ x %=25.
