Sonny has $5 to buy pencils and rulers. Pencils are 8 cent each. Rulers are 30 cent each. She says “I will buy 15 pencils. Then I will buy as many rulers as possible. With my change I will buy more pencils.” How many pencils and how many rulers does she buy? 17 pencils, 12 rulers 18 pencils, 12 rulers 17 pencils, 10 rulers 12 pencils, 14 rulers.

12 Rulers and 17 Pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

15 x 8 = cents spend

15 x 8 = 120

$5-120cents ($1.2) = $3.8 (380 cents)

380/30= 12 rulers with 20 cent remaining

20/8= 2 pencils with 4 cent remaining

now add

12 ruler +2 pencils +15 pencils=

12 Rulers and 17 Pencils

step-by-step explanation:

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

non hispanic white population

non hispanic white males

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
