Answer:
when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply
What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:
8/x=14/7
you would take 14*x and 8*7
14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)
x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)
8/4=14/7
To check your work you could simplify
8/4=2
14/7=2
2=2, which is true
x=4

Assuming that their exam success is independent then
P(both fail) = 1/4 x 2/5 = 2/20 or 1/10

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of helmet be x
cost of 1 helmet = $12.00
cost of x helmet = $12.00*x = $12x
Let the no. of tire pumps be y
cost of 1 tire pumps = $8.00
cost of x tire pumps = $8.00*y = $8y
Given that total no. of helmet and pump is 18
thus
x + y = 18
y = 18-x
also given
total money spent is $188
thus
12x+8y = 188
using y = 18 - x
we have
12x + 8(18-x) = 188
=> 12x+ 144 - 8x = 188
=> 4x = 188-144 = 44
=> x = 44/4 = 11
Thus, no of helmet bought by Margo is 11.
Answer: the original cost of the item is 90$
Step-by-step explanation:
30% off of the item = 27$
27 dollar is 30% of the item
thus 27 = 0.30X
0.30X = 27
time both side by 10
3X = 270
270/3 = 90
