<span>You are given the word alabama and you are asked to find how many distinguishable 7 letter "words" can be formed from it.
ALABAMA has seven letters so we will start at 7! Counting the number of A's in the word we have 4 A's and so we will divide it by 4! </span>Counting the number of L's in the word we have 1 L and so we will divide it by 1! Counting the number of B's in the word we have 1 B and so we will divide it by 1! Counting the number of M's in the word we have 1 M and so we will divide it by 1!
And so the number of ways is 7! / (4! x 1! x 1! x 1!) = 210 words.
He makes it up by 1/3=.333%=$75*1.333=$99.98 he then discounts it by 20%=1/5=99.98/5=$19.99 If the original profit is $99.98-$75=$24.98 and then discounted by $19.99 it would be $24.98-$19.99 = $4.99
