  • Cost = $40, Price = $5 per candle

<u>Profit, if equal per x candles is:</u>

  • 3x - 20 = 5x - 40

Reuben bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $150 more than the desktop. He p
cupoosta [38]
Same case as Pablo's, more or less.

a = price for the desktop

b = price for the laptop

we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop,  b = a + 150.

how much is 7% of a?  (7/100) * a, 0.07a.

how much is 9.5% of b?  (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.

total interests for the financing add up to 303, 0.07a + 0.095b = 303.

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;\boxed{b}=a+150\\&#10;0.07a+0.095b=303\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0.07a+0.095\left(\boxed{a+150}  \right)=303&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;0.07a+0.095a+14.25=303\implies 0.165a=288.75&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a=\cfrac{288.75}{0.165}\implies a=1750

how much was it for the laptop?  well b = a + 150.

inna [77]

Answer:

5/24 or 20.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Probability that the 7th grader is a boy = number of boys/(total kids) = 4/(4+4) = 1/2

 

Probability that the 8th grader is a boy = 5/(5+7) = 5/12

 

Probability that both are boys = 1/2*(5/12) = 5/24 or 20.8%
