OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to find probabilty.I Really Don't Understand

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how many pennies are canadian?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 are canadian

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and what is the total number of pennies?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 pennies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Mean 10 .sorry

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right 10. so how many are not canadian?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so now do this \[\frac{\text{not canadian}}{\text{total number of pennies}} \times 100\] got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/12 * 100 ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

12?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i wonder why you keep saying total is 12..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/10 * 100 ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Got My Questions Mix sorry but it's 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer would be 7/10 ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

x 100

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

divide 7/10 then multiply 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Got 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

& That's not a choice

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

well then...don't multiply by 100

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

multiplying by 100 gives you the percent... so if you just want a decimal answer, don'tmultiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all im getting is 70

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

don't multiply by 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's still not right

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

why so? what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.7

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and that's not right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope it's either .13/10 3/10 7/10 or 10/3

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

well...it's obviously 7/10 then....since it's a part of the solution you did...
