Answer:

The probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the percentage probability that a black pen will be obtained from the bag, the following calculation must be performed:

12 + 20 + 5 = 37

37 = 100%

5 = X

(5 x 100) / 37 = X

500/37 = X

13.5 = X

Thus, it is determined that the totality of pens is 100%, and through a cross multiplication the percentage of the 5 black pens with respect to the total of pens is obtained.

Therefore, the probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.

Can someone please help me with this question?
liq [111]
To get the solution we are looking for we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume that 55 is 100% because its the output value of the task.
2. We assume that the x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 100% = 55 so we can write it down as 100%=55 
4. We know that x% = 44 of the output value so we can write it as x%=44.
5. Now we have two simple equations: 1) 100%=55 2) x%=44 where left sides of both of them have the same units and both right sides have the same units so we can do something like that 100%/x%=55/44.
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation and we will get the answer.
7. Solution for 44 is what percent of 55 100%/x%=55/44 (100/x)*x=(55/44)*x we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100= 1.25*x we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x 100/1.25=x 80=x now we have: 44 is 80% of 55! 

Quick answer = 44 is 80% of 55
Hope this helps! ;D

Which of equation represents a function? A. x2 + y2 = 9 B. {(4, 2), (4, –2), (9, 3), (9, –3)} C. x = 4. 2x + y = 5
Ipatiy [6.2K]
The answer to your questions is B. {(4, 2), (4, –2), (9, 3), (9, –3)} because you don't have a repeat of a number the X side which is your output. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
