Answer:

120 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to count the permutation since the order the matters: nPr = n! / (n - r)!, where n is the total number and r is the total number of chosen.

1) Substitute values into the formula. SMILE has 5 letters, and we choose 5.

5P5 = 5! / (5 - 5)!

5P5 = 5! / 0!

Zero factorial (0!) is always 1.

So, 5P5 = 5! / 1

5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

5! = 120

Therefore, 5P5 = 120 / 1, which is 120. We can arrange the word SMILE in 120 different ways.

A new price of an item is $39.32. The percent increase was 16%. What was the original price?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

let x =the original price

then 116x/100=$39.32

116x=100×39.32

116x=3932

divide both sides by 116

116x/116=3932/116

x=33.89655

I really need help please!! ax - b = c Solve for X Show work please!!

Elina [12.6K]

ax - b = c

add b to both sides

ax - b + b = c + b

simplifying

ax = c + b

divide both sides by a

ax / a = (c + b) / a

simplifying

x = (c + b) / a

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are four marbles that are red.

It doesnt matter if we have a probability of picking blue because the question says you are picking red.

There are four possible outcomes and one favorable outcome so it is 1/4 of 25/100 or 25%

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 0.875}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{3[ x + 3(4x - 5)] = 15x - 24}$

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

⇒ $\sf{3[ x + 12x - 15 ] = 15x - 24}$

Collect like terms : 12x and x

⇒ $\sf{3[ 13x - 15 ] = 15x - 24}$

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

⇒ $\sf{39x - 45 = 15x - 24}$

Move 15x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 45 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒ $\sf{39x - 15x = - 24 + 45}$

Collect like terms

⇒ $\sf{24x = - 24 + 45}$

Calculate

⇒ $\sf{24x = 21}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 24

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{24x}{24} = \frac{21}{24}}$

Calculate

⇒ $\sf{x = 0.875}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
