Answer: 1/24

---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

A = selects green pair of shorts
B = selects gray t-shirt

P(A) = probability of selecting green shorts
P(A) = (number of green shorts)/(number of shorts total)
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = probability of selecting gray t-shirt
P(B) = (number of gray t-shirts)/(number of t-shirts total)
P(B) = 1/4

P(A and B) = probability of selecting green shorts AND gray t-shirt
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... since A and B are independent events
P(A and B) = (1/6)*(1/4)
P(A and B) = (1*1)/(6*4)
P(A and B) = 1/24

Note: The fraction 1/24 is approximately equal to 0.041667

Last week a candle store received $515.90 for selling 30 candles. Small candles sell for $11.25 and large candles sell for $22.4
alex41 [277]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=30  solve for x   x=30-y

substitute x with 30-y and solve

11.25x+22.4y=515.9

11.25(30-y)+22.4y=515.9

337.5+11.15y=515.9

11.15y=178.4

y=16

since we're solving for just large candles it's 16

if need small cangle number 30-16=14
