The probability would be 39.9%
The given probability states that 39.9% of the 3 years olds are in daycare. Therefore, it would be obvious to assume that if you randomly selected a 3 year old, that would be the probability that he/she is in daycare.
Well obviously quarters equal 25 cents. So you have to divide the 8.85 by 25 first. That means he could have 35 quarters. That least the rest as being dimes. So find the remaining amount of the 8.85. If you have 35 quarters that's $8.75. And 8.85 minus 8.75 is 10 cents. which would be 2 nickels. That only adds up 37 coins. So you break down one of the 25. That would mean 5 more coins could be nickels. Add 37 and 5 to get 42. Do it again. 25 cents in nickels would be 5 more coins. would be 46. that would be missing 2 coins. But don't forget you're also subtracting from the 35 quarters. Now you would technically have 12 nickels and 33 quarters. So you can do it one more time. 32 quarters means there is $8 in quarters at this point.
Now add you have 12 nickels, and you made 5 more. That's 17 nickels. That equals 85 cents. So add 17 and 32 to be sure you have 49 coins, which you do.
So 17 nickels, 32 quarters to equal 49 coins and $8.85
(sorry some of it got mixed up above because I was forgetting to subtract the quarters from the total as I changed them to nickels, so pay attention to the end)
You add all the percentages up and it will give you 64. take 64 and put it over 100 because percentages as a fraction will always be the amount over a 100.
so its 64/100 multiply by 4000/1. 64*4000= 256000 over 100. 256000 divided by 100 = 2560
$2560
0.00100037227 will be your correct answer.
Answer: There are 75 books.
Price of each book = $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of books in the box.
Then as per given,
Cost of x books = $300
Cost of one book = 
Books left after giving 15 of them = x-15
Selling price of (x-15) books= $330
Selling price of one book = 
Profit on each book= $1.50
Profit = selling price - cost price
![\Rightarrow 1.50=\dfrac{330}{x-15}-\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330(x)-300(x-15)}{x(x-15)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330x-300x+4500}{x^2-15x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50(x^2-15x)=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-22.5x=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-25x-3000=0\ \ [\text{divide by 1.5}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%201.50%3D%5Cdfrac%7B330%7D%7Bx-15%7D-%5Cdfrac%7B300%7D%7Bx%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50%3D%5Cdfrac%7B330%28x%29-300%28x-15%29%7D%7Bx%28x-15%29%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50%3D%5Cdfrac%7B330x-300x%2B4500%7D%7Bx%5E2-15x%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50%28x%5E2-15x%29%3D30x%2B4500%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50x%5E2-22.5x%3D30x%2B4500%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50x%5E2-52.5x-4500%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%201.50x%5E2-52.5x-4500%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%5C%20x%5E2-25x-3000%3D0%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7Bdivide%20by%201.5%7D%5D)
Number of books cannot be negative.
So, there are 75 books.
Price of each book = 
So price of each book = $4.
