Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula.
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C.
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space.
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
Answer:
$13.50
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>2 bags of cat food = $4.50</em></u>
<u><em>1 bag of cat food = 2/4.50</em></u>
<u><em>= 2.25</em></u>
<u><em>6 bags of cat food = 2.25*6</em></u>
<u><em>=13.50</em></u>
Answer:
Total Paperback books = 8x , where x is any positive number
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
The total books are = 13x ; where x is any positive number
As given,
The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13.
⇒Hardback books =
× Total books
⇒Hardback books =
× 13x = 5x
So, Paperback books = Total books - Hardback books
= 13x - 5x
= 8x
⇒Total Paperback books = 8x
Step-by-step explanation:

I think this should be the answer
Answer:
562 + x ≥ 650
x ≥ 88
Step-by-step explanation:
He has 562 points. He needs x points to get an A. He must get at least 60 points to get an A.
562 + x ≥ 650
To solve this, we subtract 562 from each side
562-562 + x ≥ 650-562
x ≥ 650-562
x ≥ 88
