Asap please ! In a state assembly, 35% of the legislators are Democrats, and the other 65% are Republicans. 70% of the Democrats favor raising sales tax, while only 40% of the Republicans favor the increase. If a legislator is selected at random from this group, what is the probability that they favor raising sales tax? Give your answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth.

Probability of selecting a legislator who favors rising sales tax is 0.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Percentage of legislators that are democrats = 0.35

Percentage of legislators that are Republicans = 0.70

All the democrats favor raise in sales tax , so their probability is 1

and only 40% of the Republicans favor raise in sales tax.

Probability of selecting a legislator who favors rising sales tax is

(0.35*1)+(0.70*0.40)

= 0.63

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
