Step-by-step explanation:

Total balls = 12

Probability of 2 black balls = 2/ 8 = 1/4

Probability of 2 red balls = 2/4 = 1/2

Probability of both red and black = 2/12 = 1/6

Answer:

P(B) = 8/12

P(R | B) = 4/11

P(B ∩ R) = 8/33

The probability that the first ball chosen is black and the second ball chosen is red is about 24% percent.

Answer:

Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.

Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.

"3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms":

$3l+5s=116$

and

"9 large boxes and 7 small boxes has a total weight of 238 kilograms":

$9l+7s=238$

Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:

$3l+5s=116\\3l=116-5s\\l=\frac{116-5s}{3}$

now,

$9l+7s=238\\9(\frac{116-5s}{3})+7s=238\\3(116-5s)+7s=238\\348-15s+7s=238\\348-238=15s-7s\\110=8s\\s=\frac{110}{8}=13.75$

now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:

$l=\frac{116-5s}{3}\\l=\frac{116-5(13.75)}{3}\\l=15.75$

Bly makes fleece scarves and sells them for $11 each. The supplies cost her $5 per scarf. Last month, Bly had a profit of $139.

seraphim [82]

Bly sold 29 scarves last month

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of scarves sold

Bly made 7 more scarves than she sold

Then, number of scarves made = x + 7

Bly makes fleece scarves and sells them for $11 each

Thus for selling "x" scraves , he will get 11x dollars

Total sales revenue = 11x

number of scarves made = x + 7

The supplies cost her $5 per scarf

Therefore, cost for scarves made = 5(x + 7)

Therefore,

profit = Total sales revenue - cost for scarves made

profit = 11x - 5(x + 7)

profit = 11x - 5x - 35

profit = 6x - 35

Last month, Bly had a profit of $139

139 = 6x - 35

6x = 174

x = 29

Thus Bly sold 29 scarves last month
