15 electricians worked for 24 days to the whole job, now, there are 15 of them, so on any given day, each electrician worked one whole day, in 24 days, that one electrician worked 24 days total.

now, there were 15 electricians on any given day though, since each one of them worked the whole day that one day, so the "days work worth" on a day is 15, so the house gets 15days worth of work because of that.

so how many "days worth" did all 15 do on the 24 days, well, 15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15, namely 15 * 24, or 360 days worth of work.

since it takes 360 days worth of work to do the whole wiring, in how many days would 18 electricians do it?   360/18.

Eli and Angela are saving money to buy their grandparents an anniversary gift. Eli has saved 8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings
Trava [24]

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = the amount Angela has saved.

Let e = the amount Eli has saved.

"Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings."

e = a/3 + 8

"If they each save $10 more." then

Eli will have: e + 10

Angela will have a + 10

"Eli will have saved $4 more than Angela's savings."

e + 10 = a + 10 + 4

This equation simplifies to: e = a + 4

We have a system of two equations in two variables.

e = a/3 + 8

e = a + 4

Since both equations are solved for e, we just equate the right sides.

a/3 + 8 = a + 4

Subtract a/3 from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.

a/3 - a/3 + 8 - 4 = a - a/3 + 4 - 4

4 = (2/3)a

Multiply both sides by 3/2

(3/2)4 = (3/2)(2/3)a

6 = a

a = 6

Angela has $6.

e = a + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

Eli has $10.

The digits are 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, and 2 that is total eight digits.

The number 654-5222 contains 7 digits.

So, we have find The number of permutations for choosing 7 digits from 8 digits given above.

This can be done in following ways

\frac{8!}{3!\times2!} = \frac{40320}{6\times2}

= 336 ways
