The sum of ellie's age and genya's age is 60. in six years, genya will be eight times as old as ellie. how old is ellie now?

2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ellie's age ⇒⇒⇒ x

And Genya's age ⇒⇒⇒ y

∵ The sum of Ellie's age and Genya's age is 60

∴ x + y = 60 ⇒ (1)

∵ In six years, Genya will be eight times as old as Ellie

∴ (y + 6) = 8 (x+6)

∴ y + 6 = 8x + 48       subtract 6 from both sides

∴ y = 8x + 42 ⇒ (2)

By substituting from 2 at 1 with the value of y

∴ x + (8x + 42) = 60

∴ 9x = 60 - 42 = 18

∴ x = 18/9 = 2

∴ y = 60 - x = 58

So, Ellie's age now = 2 years old

And Genya's age = 58 years old

amount of oatypop that contains the prize = 40%

amount   of oatypop which doesn't contain the prize = (100-40)=60%

probability that hannah will win a prize

    = s +f s +f f s+ff   f s+ff f f s+ infinity.where f= failure,s= success

=   or 60%

probability that hannah only has to buy 3 or less boxes before getting a prize= (s) and ( f s) and (ff s) and (f f f s)

        = = 87.04 %
