If two students get to pick candy from the jar, what is the probability that the first student picks a Snickers and then the second student also picks a Snickers?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: (10)/(91)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The jar contains 5 Snickers, 2 Butterfingers, 4 Almond Joys and 3 Milky Ways.

Total candies in the jar =5+2+4+3=14

Provability that firsts student select snickers =(5)/(14)

Now total candies in jar = 14-1=13

Total snickers remained =5-1=4

Probability that the second student also select snickers=(4)/(13)

Then, the probability that the first student picks a Snickers and then the second student also picks a Snickers :-

(5)/(14)*(4)/(13)=(20)/(182)=(10)/(91)

Hence, the required probability = (10)/(91)
Answer 2
Answer: 3/14 for the first kid and 2/13 for the 2nd kid

The sold 44 magazine subscriptions in total.

Final answer:

Charlene, Mark, and Paul sold a combined total of 44 magazine subscriptions for their fundraiser.

Explanation:

In this problem, Charlene, Mark, and Paul collectively sold magazine subscriptions. We need to find the total number of subscriptions sold. We can do this using simple addition: Charlene sold 15 subscriptions, Mark sold 17 subscriptions, and Paul sold 12 subscriptions. Therefore, using s to represent total subscriptions, our equation would be: s = 15 (Charlene's sales) + 17 (Mark's sales) + 12 (Paul's sales). Summing the numbers, s = 44. Hence, they sold 44 subscriptions in total.

$30 x .05 = $1.5
Take $1.5 off of the $30.
After discount, the price was $28.5.
Sales price needs to be added.
$28.5 x .05 = $1.4
$28.5 + $1.4 = $29.9
$29.9 is the final price of the  wind chime.

Answer: 29.9

How to solve this problem

5%=.05

$30 x .05 = $1.5

Take $1.5 off of the $30.

After discount, the price was $28.5. Sales price needs to be added.

$28.5 x .05 = $1.4
$28.5 + $1.4 = $29.9

$29.9 is the final price of the wind chime.
