Answer:
598 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of books in the 3rd pile. We will have then:
1st pile: 2x + 10
2nd pile: 2x
3rd pile: x
3000 = (2x + 10) + (2x) + (x)
3000 = 5x + 10
3000 - 10 = 5x
2990 = 5x
2990/5 = x
x = 598 books in the third pile!
We can check that:
3000 = 2*598 + 10 + 2*598 + 598
3000 = 1196 + 10 + 1196 + 598
3000 = 3000 CHECK!
Hi there!
Since there is a 50% chance of any coin landing on heads and a 50% chance of any coin landing on tails, the chance that all 3 coins land on either heads or tails (the same side) is 50% * 50% * 50%.
50% * 50% * 50%
= 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5
= 0.25 * 0.5
= 0.125
Now, we need to convert into a percentage:
0.125 = 12.5%
So, the answer is 12.5%.
Hope this helps!
