If there are 40 children aged twelve and under and x of them are under three years old, 40 - x aged three twelve years old. From the 92 people that where taken by the company on whale watching trips, 52 are over twelve years old. The equation that best show the total cost, C is
(40 - x)(36) + (52)(48) = C
Rearranging the equation gives,
x = 40 - ((C - 2496)/ 36)
Answer:
0.6804
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Margie is practicing for an upcoming tennis tournament. Her first serve is good 20 out of 30 times on average.
Since each trial is independent and there are two outcomes, X no of good serves is binomial with n=6 and p =2/3
Required probability
= Prob that atleast four of 6 times good serve
=
=
Formula used:
P(X=r) =
Question:
Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.
How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?
Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.
Answer:
It will take 6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
For Jesse:

This implies that Jesse will cover 30y in y days
For Amir:

This implies that Amir will cover 35x in x days
Because Amir starts a day later,

So, we have the following equations:



To get the number of days when they read the same number of pages, we have:

Substitute values for Jesse and Amir

Substitute x + 1 for y
