Maria combined all of the factors, which were not all like terms. She should’ve did -4n+9n and 3-4 to get 5n-1

Use the following compound interest formula to complete the problem.

alexdok [17]

Card P's balance increased by $3.43 more than Card Q's balance. The accumulated total on Card P over the 4 years is $1080.70 and the accumulated total of Card Q is $1,206.28. Based on the principal outlay however, Card P would have netted a higher interest over Card Q when the principal is subtracted from the accumulated value. (For eg. Card P accumulated value $1080.70 less Principal $726.19 equals $354.51).The interests over the 4 years period would be $354.51 and $351.08 respectively, hence Card P having an increase in balance of $3.43 over Card Q.

Mr Russo exchanged 200 euros for 270 dollars.how man dollars would he get for 300 euros

Nostrana [21]

200 euros 300 euros

--------------- = -----------------------------

270 dollars x dollars

using cross products

200 * x = 270 * 300

divide each side by 200

x = 270 * 300/200

x =405 dollars

Jeanne wants to start collecting coins and orders a coin collection starter kit. The kit comes with three coins chosen at random

Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event given that another event has occurred. If the event of interest is A and the event B is known or assumed to have occurred, "the conditional probability of A given B", or "the probability of A under the condition B", is usually written as P(A|B), or sometimes $P_B(A)$ .

The conditional probability of event A happening, given that event B has happened, written as P(A|B) is given by
$P(A|B)= \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

In the question, we were told that there are three randomly selected coins which can be a nickel, a dime or a quarter.

The probability of selecting one coin is $\frac{1}{3}$

Part A:
To find the probability that all three coins are quarters if the first two envelopes Jeanne opens each contain a quarter, let the event that all three coins are quarters be A and the event that the first two envelopes Jeanne opens each contain a quarter be B.

P(A) means that the first envelope contains a quarter AND the second envelope contains a quarter AND the third envelope contains a quarter.

Thus $P(A)= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{27}$

P(B) means that the first envelope contains a quarter AND the second envelope contains a quarter

Thus $P(B)= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}$

Therefore, $P(A|B)=\left( \frac{ \frac{1}{27} }{ \frac{1}{9} } \right)= \frac{1}{3}$

Part B:
To find the probability that all three coins are different if the first envelope Jeanne opens contains a dime, let the event that all three coins are different be C and the event that the first envelope Jeanne opens contains a dime be D.

$P(C)= \frac{3}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{27} = \frac{2}{9}$

 $P(D)= \frac{1}{3}$ 

Therefore, $P(C|D)=\left( \frac{ \frac{2}{9} }{ \frac{1}{3} } \right)= \frac{2}{3}$
