Pablo and greg both received gift cards for the same amount to a popular clothing store. Pablo bought 2 pairs of jeans and has $36 remaining on his gift card. greg bought 5 pairs of the same jeans and has no money left on his gift card. what is the cost of 1 pair of jeans.

12

Step-by-step explanation:

let y be the value of the gift card and x be the cost of a pair of jeans

The equation for Pablo

y-2x=36    Add 2x to both sides

y=36+2x

The equation for Greg

y-5x=0      Add 5x to both sides

y=5x

Now that we have isolated y in both equations, lets set them equal to each other

36+2x=5x      Subtract 2x from both sides

36=3x            Divide both sides by 3

12=x                x=12, which means that 1 pair of jeans costs $12

the answer is c. 23/3

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
