The probability according to the given scenario will be "\frac{1}{48,000,001}".

According to the question:

  • The odds against winning the lottery are 48,000,000 to 1.
  • Favorable outcome = 1

→ The total outcome will be:

= 48,000,000 +1

= 48,000,001

As we know,

→ P(E) = \frac{Favorable \ outcomes}{Total \ outcomes}

By putting the values, we get

→           =\frac{1}{48,000,001}

Thus the above response is right.

The original price is c. Then the grocery bill will be: c - 0.05c = 0.95 c. You can also say since the beggining that 5% disscount implies 0.95 factor, which leads to c * 0.95 = 0.95c. Sorry if it’s wrong

Please help meeeeeee!!!!!

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 25%= 25/100, and that reduces to 1/4. Also, whenever it says something OF something, it means to multiply. In this case, 1/4 OF 1000= 1/4x1000= 250.

*Even though it seems that multiplying will just make the number bigger, when you multiply with a fraction, it actually gets smaller* For example 1/3 of 3= 1/3x3= 1

lbvjy [14]
If we assume the number of polo shirts have been sold is x, the number of casual shirts have been sold will be 4x.
x*18+4x*9=$1080
(18+36)x=$1080
54x=$1080
x=20

The number of casual shirts have been sold is 4*20=80
