A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jeans cost $78. Three shirts and five pairs

of jeans cost $111. The system of equations
4s + 2j = 78
3s + 5j = 111
models this situation, where s is the cost of a shirt and j is the cost of a pair of jeans. How much does one shirt and one pair of jeans cost?

Answer:

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -4:

12s + 6j = 234

-12s - 20j = -444

Add these together, and solve for j:

-14j = -210

j = 15

So, a pair of jeans is $15. Plug in 15 as j into one of the equations and solve for s:

3s + 5j = 111

3s + 5(15) = 111

3s + 75 = 111

3s = 36

s = 12

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15.

About 7​% of the population of a large country is math phobic. If two people are randomly​ selected, what is the probability bot
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

What is the probability both are math phobic​? 0.49%

What is the probability at least one is math phobic​? 9.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to both be math phobic, both individuals has to be inside of the probability of 7%, that means 0.07*0.07 = 0.0049 = 0.49%

In order to at least one be math phobic there's some cases which satisfies the sentence:

Individual A is math phobic and B as well = 0.07*0.07 = 0.0049 = 0.49%

Individual A is math phobic, but B is not = 0.07*0.63 = 0.0441 = 4.41%

Individual A is not, but B is math phobic = 0.63*0.07 = 0.0441 = 4.41%

Suming the 3 possibles cases, the probability at least one is math phobic​

= 9.31%
