Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds. What is Janes weight?
Tpy6a [65]
Janes weight = x
Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds
12 less than 2x is 270 

2x -12 = 270   (add 12 to each side)
2x = 270 + 12
2x = 282   (divide 2 from each side)
x = 282/2
x = 141

The answer is 141 pounds

The probability that a dancer likes ballet is .35. The probability that the dancer likes tap is .45. The probability that the da
Tom [10]

It is given the probability that a dancer like ballet is 0.35

So, P(B) = 0.35

It is given the probability that a dancer like tap is 0.45

So, P(T)= 0.45

The probability that he likes both ballet and tap is 0.30

So, P(B\cap T)=0.30

the probability that the dancer likes ballet if we know she likes tap. This is the case of conditional probability.

So, P(B/T)=\frac{P(B\cap T)}{P(T)}

P(B/T)=\frac{0.30}{0.45}

= 0.666

= 0.67

Therefore, the probability that the dancer likes ballet if we know she likes tap is 0.67.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
