1) P(bills will total $15) = 3/8 * 1/7 + 1/8 * 3/7
where 3/8 is the prob. of geting a bill of $5 first,
1/7 is then the prob. of geting a bill of $10,
1/8 is the prob. of geting a bill of $10 first,
3/7 is then the prob. of geting a bill of $5.

Therefore, P(bills will total $15) = 3/8 * 1/7 + 1/8 * 3/7
= 3/28.

P(bills will total $2) = 4/8 * 3/7
where 4/8 is the prob. of geting a bill of $1 first,
3/7 is then the prob. of geting another bill of $1,

Therefore, P(bills will total $2) = 4/8 * 3/7
= 3/14 = 6/28.

So the probability that the bills will total $ 2 is greater than the probability that the bills will total $ 15.

2) Let $x be the original price.
x * (1-25%) = 48
75% * x = 48
x = 48 * 100/75 = 64.

i really don't understand what ques 1 talking about
but i can teach you to do question 2
method 1:48/0.75
method 2:
let the original price of the jacket be $x
x*0.75 =48
solvex,xwill be the original price.
