The laundry has been sorted into dark clothes and light clothes. the number of dark clothes is three more than twice the number of light clothes. the laundry is 60% dark clothes. choose the equation that best represents this scenario.

We can represent this question as a system of equations

Let

x = number of dark clothes

y = number of light clothes

L = total number of clothes

The number of dark clothes is three more than twice the number of light clothes

x = 2*(y) + 3

The laundry is 60% dark clothes.

x  = 0.6*(L)

x=3+2y and 2x=3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dark clothes be x

and that of light clothes be y

It is given in the condition that

x= 3 more than twice of y

x=3+2y ------------------------------ ( I )

Also it is given that 60% clothes are dark

Hence

doing cross multiplication

2x=3y ----------------------------------- (II)

Hence equation (I) and (II) represent the two conditions given in the problem.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
