If it was 25% off, then she paid 75% for it

75% of the original price is 170
0.75x = 170
x = 170 / 0.75
x = 226.67 <== original price

Aiden calculated the area of triangle QRS below by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1.
MrRissso [65]
His error is the second choice.
Aiden should have calculated
area = (1.1 * 5.4) / 2
because triangle area = half the base times the altitude.

A batch of 40 parts contains six defects. If two parts are drawn randomly one at a time without replacement, what is the probabi
adell [148]

Answer:

a) Therefore, the probability is P=1/52.

b) Therefore, the probability is P=9/400.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a  batch of 40 parts contains six defects.

a) We calculate the probability that the both parts are defective, if two parts are drawn randomly one at a time without replacement.

The probability for the first is 6/40.

The probability for the second is 5/39.  

We get:

P=\frac{6}{40}\cdot \frac{5}{39}\\\\P=\frac{1}{52}

Therefore, the probability is P=1/52.

b) We calculate the probability that the both parts are defective, if two parts are drawn randomly one at a time with replacement.

The probability for the first is 6/40.

The probability for the second is 6/40.  

We get:

P=\frac{6}{40}\cdot \frac{6}{40}\\\\P=\frac{9}{400}

Therefore, the probability is P=9/400.

Barney 145 3 Days 310 Miles

Mary   250 5 Days 600 Miles

A)  3 D + 310 M = 145

B) 5 D + 600 M = 250

Multiplying A) by -5/3

A) -5 D - 516.6666M = -241.66666666

B) 5D + 600M = 250

Adding A) and B)

83.3333 M = 8.3333333333

M = .10 per mile

3 D = 114
