Front

What is the probability of selecting a marble that is not yellow from a pile of 12 marbles, 3 of which are yellow?

Back

The probability of selecting a marble that is not yellow is (12 - 3) / 12 = 9/12 = 3/4.

Front

If Joy's body burns 2,000 calories per day and she exercises to burn an additional 400 calories, what is her total calorie burn per day?

Back

Her total calorie burn per day is 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 calories.

Front

How many calories does Joy need to consume to create a 2,500-calorie deficit for weight loss?

Back

To create a 2,500-calorie deficit, Joy needs to consume 2,400 - 2,500 = -100 calories, which means she needs to burn more than she consumes.

Front

If Joy is on a 1,500-calorie diet, how many calories is she in deficit each day?

Back

Joy is in a deficit of 2,400 - 1,500 = 900 calories per day.

Front

How many pounds will Joy lose in one week if she maintains a daily deficit of 900 calories?

Back

In one week, Joy will have a total deficit of 900 * 7 = 6,300 calories. Since 2,500 calories equals 1 pound, she will lose 6,300 / 2,500 = 2.52 pounds.

Front

What is the time difference in seconds between running 200 meters in a minute and 10 seconds and running 200 meters over low hurdles in one and a half minutes?

Back

Front

If a car costs $5,800 and the tax and license are 10%, what is the total cost if paid in cash?

Back

The total cost is $5,800 + (10% of $5,800) = $5,800 + $580 = $6,380.

Front

What is the total amount paid if Patrick chooses the financing option of $1,000 down and $230 a month for 24 months?
