v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
<h3>
<u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica
Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa
Given that,
Together, they have 32 stuffed animals
Therefore,
v + m = 32 --------- eqn 1
Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted animals as her friend Mariposa
Therefore,
Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)
v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2
Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
5 + 2m + m = 32
5 + 3m = 32
3m = 32 - 5
3m = 27
<h3>m = 9</h3>
Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2
v = 5 + 2(9)
v = 5 + 18
<h3>v = 23</h3>
Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

Answer: Choice C</h3>
P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20
=========================================================
Explanation:
The formula we use is
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
In this case,
- P(A) = 22/80 = 11/40 = probability of picking someone from consumer education
- P(B) = 20/80 = 1/4 = probability of picking someone taking French
- P(A and B) = 4/80 = 1/20 = probability of picking someone taking both classes
So,
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20
which is why choice C is the answer
----------------
Note: P(A and B) = 1/20 which is nonzero, so events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for percent change is
change/original.
So let's subtract 17 from 55 to find the change. 55-17=38
This is the change. Now we divide it by the original, 17.
38/17=2.235294
We're not done yet! We have to move the decimal point over to the right 2 spaces to make it a percentage. So, the percentage increase is
about 223.53 percent
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
got this answer bc bc i told myself 1/5 is one whole ad took 5 out of it and then subtracted 5-60 and then got 55 and after that i subtracted 55-32 and thats how i got my answer of 23
