Answer:

He paid $ 531.8 for it

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joshua sold his bike for $585

Since he sold it for 10% less than he paid for it, let the amount he paid for it be x.

Then

x= $585 -(10 % of x)

=$585 - (0.1 x)

<u>Add 0.1x to both sides</u>

(1+0.1)x=585

1.1x=585

<u>Divide both sides by 1.1</u>

x=585/1.1

=531.8

A basketball player's probability of making a free throw is 0.9. When the player makes two free throws in a row, X is the number

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

P(success) = 0.9

P(failure) = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Binomial probability:

P(X=n) = nCr (0.9)^n (0.1)^r

Here, n=2 and r=0:

P(X=2) = ₂C₀ (0.9)² (0.1)⁰

P(X=2) = 0.81

Hi there,

So lets look at this problem. Ron has 20 pennies. Pam has 20 pennies. If Ron has 4 groups each group will have 5 pennies to add up to 20. Pam will have 5 groups and each group will have 4 pennies to add up to 20.

Therefore Ron will have more pennies in his group.

Sergio039 [100]

We have been given that Maria put trim around a banner that is the shape of a triangle. Each side is 21 inches long.

The amount of trim will be equal to perimeter of triangle. The perimeter of given triangle will be 3 times each side length that is $3\times 21=63$ inches.

Now we need to convert 63 inches into feet.

12 inches = 1 feet

63 inches = $\frac{63}{12}$ feet = 5.25 feet.

We are also told that Maria has $\frac{3}{4}$ foot of trim left, so total length of trim would be trim used plus trim left that is $5.25+\frac{3}{4}=5.25+0.75=6$ feet.

Since we need to find length of trim in yards, so we will convert 6 feet into yards.

3 feet = 1 yard

6 feet = $\frac{6}{3}$ yards = 2 yards

Therefore, the length of the trim was 2 yards.
