Answer:

1) 30%, 50%, 10%

2) x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

1) "MATHMATICS"

a) Vowels - a, e, i, o, u

This is 3/10 of the letters meaning pulling a vowel is 30%.

b) Constants - B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Z

Well there are 5 constants in mathematics so the percent is 50%.

c) Letter "m"

The letter m is 1/10 meaning pulling the letter m is a 10%.

2) 8 added to twice a number gives 40. Find the number

Well lets set u an equation,

8 + x + 8 = 40

16 + x = 40

-16

x = 24

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

In bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

There are a total of 11 letters in the bag including 4 vowels, 7 consonants.

The letter m appears  twice in mathematics.

(a) Probability(getting a vowel) = 4/11.

(b)  Probability(getting a consonant) = 7/11.

(c)  Probability(getting a letter m) = 2/11.

2.  

Let the number be n, then:

8 + 2n = 40

2n = 32

n = 16.
