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%.

You buy 1 1/4 yards of fabric and $8 clothing pattern. Your total cost with a 6% sales tax added is $18.55. What is the cost per
Anna35 [415]

Answer: The fabric costs $7.60 per yard.

Step-by-step explanation: First we can divide it by 106 then multiply it by 100 to get rid of the 6% sales tax, which now the cost of the stuff is $17.50. 

Next, we subtract 8 from this to represent the clothing pattern cost. Now it is $9.50.

The last stap to this is to divide it by 1 1/4 to get the final cost per yard: 

The fabric costs $7.60 per yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify x5 /8. Than, Equation at the end of step  1  :   x5   ——) • x)1) ÷ 4   8  

Step  2  :  2.1     16 = 24  (16)1 = (24)1 = 24  2.2    x6 raised to the 1 st power = x( 6 * 1 ) = x6

Step  3  :     24x6  Simplify   ————    4  

Dividing exponents :   3.1    24   divided by   22   = 2(4 - 2) = 22

which brings us to our final answer above
