Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the sale price

First, we have to find the price it was sold for.

\longmapsto 5/4 of 800 = 5/4 * 800

\frac54 * 800 = \\\\\frac{4000}{4}  = 1000\\\\

The article was sold for rs. 1000

Step 2: Finding the percentage

To find the percentage, we have to divide the sale price over the cost of the article

\frac{1000}{800} = \frac54 = 1.25 = 125percent

The cost of the article is 100% or 1

1.25 - 1 = 0.25  - or- 25percent

25%

You roll two six-sided dice. Match each event with its probability.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

A) probability the sum is 8 or 11= 4/21

B) probability that sum is 12 or less than 10 = 6/7

C) Probability that the sum is 3 or less than 3 = 2/21

D) Probability that the sum is 2 or 10 = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the same probability of each event in each dice, the answer would be just to check the different outcomes, two dices, each with 1 to 6;

(1,1);(1,2);(1,3);(1,4);(1,5);(1,6);(2,2);(2,3);(2,4);(2,5);(2,6);(3,3);(3,4);(3,5);(3,6);(4,4);(4,5);(4,6);(5,5);(5,6);(6,6)

Thus, there are 21 possible outcomes.

Now,

A) probability that the sum is 8 or 11;

From the outcomes above, the number of outcomes that have a sum as 8 or 11 are;

(2,6) ; (3,5) ; (4,4) ; (5,6)

So,probability = 4/21

B) From the outcomes above, the number of outcomes that are 12 or less than 10 are;

(1,1);(1,2);(1,3);(1,4);(1,5);(1,6);(2,2);(2,3);(2,4);(2,5);(2,6);(3,3);(3,4);(3,5);(3,6);(4,4);(4,5);(6,6).

There are 18 possible outcomes.

So, probability that sum is 12 or less than 10 = 18/21 = 6/7

C)From the initial 21 outcomes, the number of outcomes that the sum is 3 or less than 3 are;(1,1);(1,2)

Thus,

Probability that the sum is 3 or less than 3 = 2/21

D) From the initial 21 outcomes, the number of outcomes that the sum is 2 or 10 are;

(1,1); (4,6) ; (5,5)

Thus,

Probability that the sum is 2 or 10 = 3/21 = 1/7
