I do not know the answer but i need to answer a question in order to ask one,sorry,hope u understand:/
Since there are equal numbers of pieces, the chances of Julio getting a red on the first pull is 12/24 or 1/2 (reduced)
However on the second pull there are only 11 reds (Julio pulled one out) out of 23 remaining pieces so the chances of pulling the second red are 11/23
Now multiply those possibilities:
1/2 x 11/23 and you will get 11/46 which is the probability of pulling two reds in a row. 11/46 is the answer.
Let
x---------> <span>quantity (ton) of vegetables sold the first day
</span>y---------> quantity (ton) of vegetables sold the second day
z---------> quantity (ton) of vegetables sold the third day
we know that
x=y-3---------> equation 1
z=(5/9)*(x+y)------> equation 2
x+y+z=98-----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 in equation 3
x+y+[(5/9)*(x+y)]=98----> multiply by 9----> 9x+9y+5x+5y=882
14x+14y=882-----> equation 4
to resolve the equations system formed by
x=y-3
14x+14y=882
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=30
y=33
x+y+z=98----> z=98-(x+y)----> z=98-63---> 35
the answer is
vegetables sold the first day----> 30 tonvegetables sold the second day----> 33 tonvegetables sold the third day------> 35 ton
Answer:
Joel earns $35.00 commission and the store keeps $715.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to figure 5% of what he sold - or 5% of $750.
Of course, you can use a calculator, or multiply $750 by .05. I prefer to think of 10 percent ($75.00) and half that to get 5%. $35.00.
Joel earns $35.00 on the sale. Not bad!
If he gets to keep $35, deduct this from the price to find out how much the store will keep.
$750 - $35 - $715.
