An automobile has a price of $16,000 after being discounted 20%. what is the original price?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>$16,000 / (100% - 20%) = $16,000 / .8 = $20,000
to verify, work the answer backwards.
$20,000 - $20,000 * 20% = $20,000 - $4,000 = $16,000

Hey!

Grape over total: $\frac{4}{12}$

After he drinks 1, there will be 1 less. That means it will be over 11

Orange over total: $\frac{5}{11}$

Now multiply the fractions

$\frac{4}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} = \frac{20}{132} \rightarrow \frac{10}{66} \rightarrow \frac{5}{33}$

That means the probability is: $\frac{5}{33}$

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
