Answer 1
Answer: Hello, there!

Matthew is 8 years older than his brother. Use b to represent how old Matthew's brother is.

This means that Matthew's brother is 8 years younger than Matthew.

We will let 'M' represent Matthew's age and 'B' represent Matthew's brother's age.

The equation to represent this situation would be:

B = M - 8

A coat originally costs $75. It is on sale for $52.50. What percent is the discount?

Answers

Answer:

The discount percentage on the coat = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the original cost of the coat = $75

The sale price of the same coat = $52.50

Now, here DISCOUNT = ORIGINAL PRICE - SALE PRICE

= $75 -  $52.50 =  $22.50

⇒The discount amount on the coat = $22.50

\textrm{Discount Percentage} = \frac{\textrm{Discount}}{\textrm{Original Price}} * 100\n=(22.50)/(75)  * 100 =  30

⇒The discount percentage on the coat = 30%

You have the number 1-25 written on slips of paper. If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will not select a number which is divisible by 3?

Answers

Answer:

8/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

1. First you count how many number are divisible by three. The numbers are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24, which is a total count of 8 numbers.

2. Then you count the numbers of slips of paper, which you know is 25.

3. Finally, put the number of numbers that are divisible by three or the total slips of paper to find your answer.

An opaque bag contains 5 green marbles 3 blue marbles and 2 red marbles. what is the of randomly picking out a marble and the marble being red?

Answers

The probability of randomly picking out a red marble is 1/5

Calculating the probability of randomly picking out a marble and the marble being red?

To determine the probability of randomly picking out a marble and it being red, we need to consider the total number of marbles and the number of red marbles.

Total marbles = 5 green + 3 blue + 2 red = 10 marbles

Red marbles = 2

So, we have

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total possible outcomes)

This gives

Probability = (Number of red marbles) / (Total marbles)

By subsituition

Probability = 2/10 = 1/5

Hence, the probability of randomly picking out a marble and it being red is 1/5

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2 red marbles and since there are a total of 10 marbles, the probability is 2/10. This simplifies to 1/5. So the probability of picking a red marble is 1/5.

Work Shown below& answers I need an (a) equation for Tyler’s age x ,,,(b) how old is Tyler for (c) how old is Samantha. I need help please

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

tyler is x years old

t = x

samantha is 4 years older then tyler...

x + 4....this is samanthas age

three times samanthas age = 60

3(x + 4) = 60

3(x + 4) = 60 <=== this is an equation for tylers age....x = tylers age

3x + 12 = 60

3x = 60 - 12

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16 <==== tyler is 16 years old

samantha is : x + 4.....16 + 4 = 20 <=== samantha is 20

you would do 20-6 which = 14. + 1 =15. times 8= 120 then divide that by 1/2 =  240 if you do 120 divided by .5 in a calculator thats what you get. i hope that helps you
