2. Red light: Pedro drives the same route to work on Monday through Friday. His route includes one traffic light.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

So, the probability is P=0.018.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Pedro drives the same route to work on Monday through Friday.  

We know that  there is a 55% chance that the light will be red.  

We get that p=55%=0.55.

We conclude that the probability of not being a red light:

q=1-p=1-0.55=0.45.

We can calculate the probability that from Monday to Friday when Pedro goes to work there will be no red light, as follows:

P=q^5\\\\P=0.45^5\\\\P=0.018

So, the probability is P=0.018.

You order two tacos and a salad. the salad costs 2.50.you pay 8% sales tax and leave a $3 tip. you pay a total of 13.80 how much
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75
