Sample space of 7th grade (5 boys + 5 girls)

sample space of 8th grade (5 boys + 3 girls)


P(boy 7th grade) = 5/10 =1/2
P(boy 8th grade) = 5/8
Hence the probability of selecting a boy from 7th AND a boy from 8th is:

(1/2)x(5/8) ==> 5/16 ( It's a conditional probability)

So the ratios are 5:5 and 3:5 so the fractions are 5/10 (1/2) for 7th grade and 5/8 for 8th grade

Jocelyn and Madelyn go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.
Alik [6]

let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:

2p + 3d = 18.25

4p + 2d = 27.50

From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:

For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.

For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.

I'll be using elimination in this case:

-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50

-4p - 6d = -36.50

4p  + 2d = 27.50

-4d = -9.00

d = 2.25

4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50

4p + 4.50 = 27.50

4p = 23.00

p = 5.75

Now let's check our answer:

2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25

11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25

18.25 = 18.25

So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
