Answer:

165.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since repetition isn't allowed, there would be 11 choices for the first donut, (11 - 1) = 10 choices for the second donut, and (11 - 2) = 9 choices for the third donut. If the order in which donuts are placed in the bag matters, there would be 11 \times 10 \times 9 unique ways to choose a bag of these donuts.

In practice, donuts in the bag are mixed, and the ordering of donuts doesn't matter. The same way of counting would then count every possible mix of three donuts type 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 times.

For example, if a bag includes donut of type x, y, and z, the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 would include the following 3 \times 2 \times 1 arrangements:

  • xyz.
  • xzy.
  • yxz.
  • yzx.
  • zxy.
  • zyx.

Thus, when the order of donuts in the bag doesn't matter, it would be necessary to divide the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 by 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 to find the actual number of donut combinations:

\begin{aligned} \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Using combinatorics notations, the answer to this question is the same as the number of ways to choose an unordered set of 3 objects from a set of 11 distinct objects:

\begin{aligned}\begin{pmatrix}11 \\ 3\end{pmatrix} &= \frac{11 !}{(11 - 3)! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 !}{8 ! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

A=12h(b1+b2) solve for b1 please.
Papessa [141]
A = 12h(B1 + B2)
A = 12h(B1) + 12h(B2)
A - 12h(B2) = 12h(B1)

B1 = \frac{A - 12h(B1)}{12h}

Bill's Bargains sells 16 ounces of Circle O's cereal for $3.36. Debbie's Deals sells 40 ounces of Circle O's cereal for $7.60. W
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Debbie's Deals has the better deal with a price of $0.19 per ounce compared to Bill's Bargains at $0.21 per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide $3.36 by 16 = $0.21

Divide $7.60 by 40 = $0.19

Debbie's Deals sells the Circle O's cereal for a cheaper per ounce price thus it's the better price and the better deal.

Good luck!
