Answer:
The probability that she chooses 3 spades and 2 cards that are not spades is
0.08154
Step-by-step explanation:
52 deck cards have 13 spades , 13 clubs , 13 diamond, 13 hearts
spades = 13
Non spades = 39
Selecting 3 spades = 13C3 (Using combination)
selecting 2 spades = 39C2
in total 5 cards are drawn = 52C5
Probability of drawing 5 cards (3spades+2 non spades)
= = 0.08154
Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12
x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.
