Multiplying a certain even number by 4 then subtracting 16 gives you the next consecutive even number. find the original number

Let 2k represent the original even number (such that k is an integer)

then 2(k + 1) is the next consecutive even number.

4(2k) - 16 = 2(k + 1)

8k - 16 = 2k + 2

6k = 18

k = 3

since 2k represents the original number, then 2(3) = 6 is the oroginal number

percentage - 25%

probability - 0.25

we know,

total amount of students in class = 20

total boys = 10

total girls = 10

no of girls who wear glasses = 10/2 = 5

probability of choosing a girl with glasses is =

number of girls wearing glasses/total number of students in the class = 5/20

thus, percentage of selecting a girl wearing glasses will be

= 5/20 × 100

= 5 × 5

25%

therefore,

probability will be 0.25
