Answer:

The person would have to play 2 games for the two bowling alleys to cost the same amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number of games that makes the two costs equal is x

∵ A bowling alley charges $2.50 per game plus $4 to rent shoes

∵ The number of games is x

∴ The cost = 2.50x + 4

∵ A second bowling alley charges $4 per game plus $1 to rent shoes

∵ The number of games is x

∴ The cost = 4x + 1

∵ They have the same cost

→ Equate the 2 expressions above

∴ 4x + 1 = 2.50x + 4

→ Subtract 2.50x from both sides

∵ 4x - 2.50x + 1 = 2.50x - 2.50x + 4

∴ 1.50x + 1 = 4

→ Subtract 1 from both sides

∵ 1.50x + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1

∴ 1.50x = 3

→ Divide both sides by 1.50

∴ x = 2

∴ The person would have to play 2 games for the two bowling alleys to

   cost the same amount

A bin contains 25 light bulbs, 5 of which are in good condition and will function for at least 30 days, 10 of which are partiall
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The probability that it will still be working after one week is \frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total number of bulbs = 25

Number of bulbs which are good condition and will function for at least 30 days = 5

Number of bulbs which are partially defective and will fail in their second day of use = 10

Number of bulbs which are totally defective and will not light up = 10

To find : What is the probability that it will still be working after one week?

Solution :

First condition is a randomly chosen bulb initially lights,

i.e. Either it is in good condition and partially defective.

Second condition is it will still be working after one week,

i.e. Bulbs which are good condition and will function for at least 30 days

So, favorable outcome is 5

The probability that it will still be working after one week is given by,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

\text{Probability}=\frac{5}{25}

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{5}
