Answer:

<em>The approximate probability that a random vehicle is a passenger car is 74.67%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability</u>

The traffic engineer records 112 passenger cars, 18 light trucks, and 20 heavy trucks. The total of vehicles recorded is n=112+18+20 = 150.

We are required to find the probability that a randomly selected vehicle crossing the bridge is a passenger car. There are 112 passenger cars, thus the probability is:

\displaystyle p=\frac{112}{150}

p = 0.7467

p = 74.67%

The approximate probability that a random vehicle is a passenger car is 74.67%

I believe the answer is 2, the 3 large circles are filled with 5 dots each, the total number of dots is 17. 15 is the number closest to 17 that can be divided by 3 therefore there would be 2 left over (the 2 dots on the outside)

sukhopar [10]
So we start with the $60 untouched.

Then we add the tax which is $60•0.07= 4.20 that is the tax

Then add the tax to the total $60 + $4.20= $64.20

Next we must add the tip so $60•0.15= 9.

Then $64.20 + $9.00 = $73.20

Total cost of meal $73.20

Any questions? :)
