It helps if you create equations for these problems.
1.) t= total p= amount of printers
The equation would be t=145p, since you have to multiply 145 by the amount of printers you are purchasing.
t=145(8)
The total for the printers would be $1,160. You can put 145*8 into a calculator.
Now do the same thing for the laptops.
2.) t= total l=laptop
t=439l
t=439(3)
t=$1,317
Three laptops cost more.

How many 3-digit numerical passwords are there if a digit cannot be repeated?

alexgriva [62]

The first digit of the password can be any of the ten digits - 10 possibilities.
A digit cannot be repeated, so the second digit can be any digit except the one you chose for the first digit - 9 possibilities.
The third digit can be any digit except the digits you chose for the first and second digit - 8 possibilities.

Using the rule of product:
$10 \times 9 \times 8=720$
