Answer:

259 / 701

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident = number of respondents that have been in an accident / total number of respondents

total number of respondents = 259 + 442 = 701

 = 259 / 701

The principal of a high school spent 1700 for X desk each and Y chairs at $25 each if he had bought half the number of desk in t
KatRina [158]

Answer:

25X + 25Y = 1700

25X + 100Y = 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the principal of a high school spent $1700 for X desk and Y chairs at $25 each. Then, the equation will be

25X + 25Y = 1700 ....... (1)

If he had bought half the number of desk in twice the number of chairs he would have spent 1600. That is

25(X/2) + 25(2Y) = 1600

25X/2 + 50Y = 1600

Find the LCM and cross multiply

25X + 100Y = 3200 ........(2)
