Answer:

Maura had 12 cards initially

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Dai's card with D and Maura's card with M.

From the first statement, we understand that:

D = 4 more that twice of M

This is represented as:

D = 4 + 2M

From the second statement, we understand that.

When 8 is subtracted from D, M is increased by 8 and both are equal.

This is represented as:

D - 8 = M + 8

Hence, the equations of the system is:

D = 4 + 2M

D - 8 = M + 8

Substitute 4 + 2M for D in the second equation

4 + 2M - 8 = M + 8

Collect like terms

2M - M = 8 - 4 + 8

M = 12

To solve for D, we simply substitute 12 for M in D = 4 + 2M

D = 4 + 2 * 12

D = 4 + 24

D = 28

Hence, Maura had 12 cards initially

<u>Answer:</u>

  • There is a 41.7% chance that you got a blue ball.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Total number of blue balls/Total number of balls x 100 = Chance of getting a blue ball</u>

  • => 5/12 x 100
  • => 5/6 x 50
  • => 5/3 x 25
  • => 125/3
  • => 41.7

Hence, <u>there is a 41.7% chance that you got a blue ball.</u>

Hoped this helped.
