Of n elements, there are {}_nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} ways of choosing any r elements. So the number of subsets that can be chosen from the set of 13 elements, each consisting of 4 to 8 elements, is

\displaystyle\sum_{r=4}^8{}_{13}C_r={}_{13}C_4+\cdots+{}_{13}C_8=6721

To compute the actual numbers, you have, for example,

{}_{13}C_4=\dfrac{13!}{4!(13-4)!}=\dfrac{13!}{4!9!}
=\dfrac{13\times12\times\cdots\times6\times5}{9\times8\times\cdots\times2\times1}
=\dfrac{13\times12\times11\times10}{4\times3\times2\times1}
=13\times11\times5
=715

so there are 715 ways of picking subsets of size 4. Compute the others similarly, then add them up.

At a grocery store, the price of a watermelon is determined by how many pounds the watermelon weighs. The price of a watermelon
vodka [1.7K]
P = w * .6

Explanation: First, we must determine the price per pound of watermelon. To do this, we take the cost of the watermelons, and divide it by the number of pounds. 4.38 / 7.3, which is .6. This tells us each pound costs 60 cents, or $.6. We’re trying to say “The total price of watermelon would be the amount of watermelon bought times .6.” Plug in the variables you’re given, and you get p = w * 6.
