Let number of yellow marbles = x
Let number of red marbles = y
Let number of blue marbles = z
Given that Finley has 152 yellow, red, and blue marbles in a bag.
So we get equation:
x+y+z=152...(i)
"He has seven more red marbles than yellow marbles" means:
y=x+7...(ii)
"three times as many blue marbles as yellow marbles." means:
z=3x...(iii)
Now we just need to solve those equations to find the answer.
Plug (ii) and (iii) into (i)
x+(x+7)+(3x)=152
x+x+7+3x=152
Which looks similar to choice (B)
5x+7=152
5x=145
x=29
Hence final answer is choice B.
Required equation is
x+x+7+3x=152
Number of yellow marbles = 29
If you have an item that costs 10 dollars and a sales tax of 7% you could do it this way
10 * 7/100 = 0.70 dollars.
The total cost is 10.70 dollars. or 10 dollars and 70 cents.
The best way to do the total however is to multiply the cost by 1.07. You will get the number the customer has to pay.
10 * 1.07 = 10.70
So for any price (p) it would be 1.07*p
Answer:
333 and 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
a]
The expected value of spinning the wheel is given by:
E(x)=2/9(200)+4/9(300)+2/9(400)+1/9(600)
E(x)=44 4/9+133 1/3+88 8/9+66 2/3
E(x)=333 1/3
b] The expected value of spinning the wheel thrice will be:
(expected value of spinning once)*(number of spins)
=333 1/3*3
=1000/3*3
=1000
Answer: C)
Step-by-step explanation: By multiplying 2000 for 1/5, you discover the remaining distance. Considering Mateo swim 3/4 meters per second, dividing the first result for 3/4 will give you the amount of time that he will take to swim what's left (in units of <em>seconds)</em>
