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%.

10x10x10x10, you have to multiply 10 by 10 four times, since it's 10 to the power of 4.

Y=3(x+1)(x-5)
I'm going to ignore 3 for now, but will add it later.
FOIL the (x+1)(x-5)
F = multiply the First numbers      x and x
O = multiply the Outside numbers      x and -5
I = multiply the Inside number        1 and x
L = multiply the Last numbers        1 and -5
3(x^2 + -5x + 1x + -5)
add -5x and x
3(x^2 + -4x + -5)
multiply the numbers inside the parenthesis by 3
3x^2 + -12x + -15
