Answer:

\frac{1}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability,

"AND" means "multiplication"

"OR" means "ADDITION"

We want probability of Blue Pen and Yellow Highlighter. So we find individual probabilities and "MULTIPLY" them.

Let P(b) be probability of blue pen

Let P(y) be probability of yellow highlighter

We know probability of event is that event divided by total number of that

So,

There are 4 + 2 = 6 pens

Blue pen = 2

Hence,

P(b) = 2/6 = 1/3

And,

There are 5 highlighters

Yellow highlighter = 1

Hence,

P(y) = 1/5

Now,

P(b and y) = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15

Hence,

probability of grabbing blue pen and a yellow highlighter is  \frac{1}{15}

Mike bought five items for lunch that Cost a total of 4.55 .Hit dogs cost .1.10 each and cookies cost 0.75 each. What equation c
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

c + h = 5 and

0.75c + 1.10h = 4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Mike bought only cookies and hot dogs.

The total can be represented as:

Cookies + Hot\ Dogs = 5 --- (1)

And the amount spent can be represented as:

Cost\ of\ cookies + Cost\ of\ hot\ dogs = 4.55 --- (2)

Required

Determine the system of equation

Let c represents the number of cookies and h, number of hot dogs.

Cookies + Hot\ Dogs = 5 implies c + h = 5

And

Cost\ of\ cookies + Cost\ of\ hot\ dogs = 4.55

Cost of cookies = 0.75 * c

Cost of hot dogs = 1.10 * h

So, we have:

0.75c + 1.10h = 4.55

Hence, the equations are:

c + h = 5 and

0.75c + 1.10h = 4.55

Solving for c and h

Make c the subject in c + h = 5

c = 5 - h

Substitute 5 - h for c in 0.75c + 1.10h = 4.55

0.75(5- h) + 1.10h = 4.55

3.75- 0.75h + 1.10h = 4.55

3.75 +0.35h = 4.55

Collect Like Terms

0.35h = 4.55 - 3.75

0.35h = 0.8

Solve for h

h = 0.8/0.35

h = 2.28571428571

h =2 -- approximated

Recall that:

c = 5 - h

c = 5 - 2

c =3
