If a store is chosen at random at Mayfair Mall, 10. what are the odds of choosing a store that primarily sells clothing or food? \( 49: 73 \) \( 73: 49 \) \( 122: 73 \) \( 49: 122 \)

To determine the odds of choosing a store that primarily sells clothing or food at Mayfair Mall, we need to know the total number of stores and how many of those stores sell clothing or food. Let's denote: - \( C \) = number of clothing stores - \( F \) = number of food stores - \( T \) = total number of stores The odds of choosing a store that sells clothing or food can be calculated as follows: 1. Calculate the total number of stores that sell clothing or food: \( C + F \). 2. The odds of choosing a store that sells clothing or food is given by the ratio of the number of stores that sell clothing or food to the number of stores that do not sell clothing or food, which is \( T - (C + F) \). The odds can be expressed as: \[ \text{Odds} = \frac{C + F}{T - (C + F)} \] Without specific numbers for \( C \), \( F \), and \( T \), we cannot calculate the exact odds. However, if we assume that the options provided correspond to the calculated odds, we can analyze the options: - \( 49: 73 \) - \( 73: 49 \) - \( 122: 73 \) - \( 49: 122 \) If we assume \( C + F = 49 \) and \( T - (C + F) = 73 \), then the odds would be \( 49: 73 \). If \( C + F = 73 \) and \( T - (C + F) = 49 \), then the odds would be \( 73: 49 \). If \( C + F = 122 \) and \( T - (C + F) = 73 \), then the odds would be \( 122: 73 \). If \( C + F = 49 \) and \( T - (C + F) = 122 \), then the odds would be \( 49: 122 \). To select the correct answer, we need the specific counts of clothing and food stores. If you have that information, please provide it, and I can help you determine the correct odds. Otherwise, based on the options alone, we cannot definitively choose the correct answer without additional context.
