<em>The phrase in the original question is:</em>

<em>....if they lost 12 games......</em>

<em>not</em>

<em>....if they lost board games......</em>

Answer:

36 games won

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\%Win = 75\%

Lost = 12\ games

Required

Number of games won

Give that: \%Win = 75\%

The percentage loss is:

\%Loss = 100\% - \%Win

So, we have:

\%Loss = 100\% - 75\%

\%Loss = 25\%

Calculate the number of games (n) using:

Lost  = \%Loss * n

12 = 25\% * n

Make n the subject

n = \frac{12}{25\%}

n = 48

So, the games won is:

Win = n - Lost

Win = 48 - 12

Win = 36

A company has 8 mechanics and 6 electricians. If an employee is selected at random, what is the probability that they are an ele
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Probability = \frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Electrician = 6

Mechanic = 8

Required

Determine the probability of selecting an electrician

First, we need the total number of employees;

Total = n(Electrician) + n(Mechanic)

Total = 6 + 8

Total = 14

Next, is to determine the required probability using the following formula;

Probability = \frac{n(Electrician)}{Total}

Probability = \frac{6}{14}

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

Probability = \frac{3}{7}

<em>Hence, the probability of selecting an electrician is 3/7</em>
