Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The students can group themselves in 360360 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise we need to use the following equation:

\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}

This equation give us the number of assignation of n elements in k cell, where n1, n2, ..nk are the element that are in every cell

In this case we have 15 student that need to be assign in three vehicles with an specific capacity. This vehicles would be the equivalent to cells, so we can write the equation as:

  \frac{15!}{7!*5!*3!}

Because the first vehicle have 7 seating, the second vehicle have 5 seating and the third vehicle have 3 seating.

Solving the equation we get 360360 ways to organized 15 students in three vehicles with capacity of 7, 5  and 3 seating.
