Answer:

55.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 74 people answered yes and 71 answered no. So the total number of people who answered the question was 74 + 71 = 145.

Now, of those 145, 74 answering yes, then the probability of saying yes is:

P (Y) = 74/145

We know that 21 (15 + 6) are men, therefore the probability of being a man is:

P (M) = 21/145

Finally, we also know how many people answering that yes, they are men, they are 15, therefore the probability is:

P (Y and M) = 15/145

Finally, we use the "sieve" formula, for the probability that he is a man or that he answered yes.

P (Y or M) = P (Y) + P (M) - P (Y and M)

Replacing we have:

P (Y or M) = 74/145 + 21/145 - 15/145

P (Y or M) = 80/145

P (Y or M) = 0.552

In other words, the probability is 55.2%

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

23x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To the find the equivalent of 9(2x - 3) + 5x + 17, evaluate the expression. Start by opening the bracket.

9*2x - 9*3 + 5x + 17

18x - 27 + 5x + 17

Pair like terms

18x + 5x - 27 + 17

23x - 10

The equivalent of 9(2x - 3) + 5x + 17 is 23x - 10

Emily took 300 US dollars to the bank to exchange it for Canadian dollars. The exchange rate on that day was 1.25 Canadian dolla
Paha777 [63]

Emily wanted to exchange her 300 US Dollars for Canadian Dollars.

The exchange rate for it was 1.25 Canadian Dollars for 1 US Dollar.

This means that 1 US Dollar = 1.25 Canadian Dollars.

So if we were to follow this pattern,

2 US Dollars = 2 × 1.25 = 2.5 Canadian Dollars

3 US Dollars = 3 × 1.25 = 3.75 Canadian Dollars

4 US Dollars = 4 × 1.25 = 5 Canadian Dollars

So for 300 US Dollars, we'll need to multiply 300 by 1.25.

300 US Dollars = 300 × 1.25 = 375 Canadian Dollars.

Hope it helps. :)
