Answer:

The actual discount is a 68% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if something has a price P, and you have a discount of the X%, the new price will be:

P' = P - P*(X%/100%) = P*(1 - X%/100%)

Here we first have a 60% discount, then if the initial price is P, the new price is:

P' = P*(1 - 60%/100%) = P*(1 - 0.6)

Now we have an additional 20% discount (this applies to the new price)

then the final price is:

P'' = P'*(1 - 20%/100%) = P'*(1 - 0.2) = P*(1 - 0.6)*(1 - 0.2)

We want to rewrite this as something like:

P'' = P*(1 - k)

Let's do this:

P'' = P*(1 - 0.6)*(1 - 0.2) = P*(1 - 0.2 - 0.6 + 0.2*0.6)

                                     = P*(1 - 0.8 + 0.12) = P*(1 - 0.68)

And this can be as:

P'' = P*(1 - 68%/100%)

Then the actual discount is a 68% discount.

Due to a packaging error, 4 cans labeled diet soda were accidentally filled with regular soda and placed in a 12 pack carton of
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Probability that both cans were regular soda =  \frac{1}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \frac{Desired outcome}{Total possible outcomes}

We are given 12 total number of cans; 4 cans have been accidentally filled with diet soda.

Probability that first can is a regular soda:

Outcome that first can is a regular soda will give us the number of regular soda available which are 4

Using formula of probability

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 12

Desired outcome: 4 (cans of regular soda)

P(1st can) =  \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Probability that 2nd can is a regular soda:

<em>As we have already taken a can of regular soda from the pack, the total soda in the pack now 11 and the regular soda left are 3.</em>

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 11

Desired outcome: 3 (cans of regular soda as one has already been taken)

P(2nd can) =  \frac{3}{11}


Probability that both cans are regular soda:

P(both) = P(1st can) × P(2nd can)

             = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{11}

             = \frac{1}{11}
