3 x 7 because three, seven times is 21
If you assign variables to the problem, it can make things a lot simpler. Lets say chairs are x and tables are y. Therefore you have:
2x+6y=40
5x+3y=25
Now you can isolate the variable of one equation and put it into another (it doesn't matter which. I'm going to manipulate the top equation to plug into the bottom one).
2x=40-6y
x=20-3y
Now I plug into bottom equatioin:
5(20-3y) + 3y=25
100-15y+3y=25
100-12y=25
-12y=-75
y=$6.25
Now you can plug in y in either equation to get x.
2x+6(6.25)=40
37.5+2x=40
2x=2.5
x=1.25
So it costs $6.25 for each table and $1.25 for each chair. If you think about it, it would make sense for the table to cost more for the chair.
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.
This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.
For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....
We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880
Another way to write this is: 9!
