Answer: 13 people (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't use a set equation to solve the problem, but I added 1+2+3+4... (and so on) until I got a number that was over 100. When I got to 14, the number reached 105, meaning that 13 people were able to get the number of chocolates that they desired. The fourteenth person was short 5 chocolates.

Please feel free to ask me any further questions you have! Have a wonderful day!

If c is a set with c elements how many elements are in the power set of c
Fofino [41]

There would be 2 raised to c elements in the power set. Elements of the power set are formed by making a binary decision on each element of the input set: include or do not include. Since there are two choices for each element of the input set, and there are c elements in the input set, there are 2^c possible arrangements of these input elements.

Tju [1.3M]

X and y are in direct proportion, when x is 8, y is 12. Which of the following is not a
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

if x varies directly as y,

x = ky

8 = 12k

12k = 8

k = 8/ 12

k = 2/3,

x = 2/3 y

now substitute the value of any of the numbers of each pair, and check if it works:

for e.g, find x when y = 15

x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 15

x = 10

since you obtain x = 10 when y = 15, the pair is a possible corresponding value of x and y. now do the same for the rest .

ii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 3, when y = 3

x = 2

hence, this is also a possible pair of x and y values.

iii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 9 when y = 9

x = 6

again, a possible pair of x and y values.

iv) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 20 when y = 20

x = 40/3

here, when y = 20, x is not 15. it is 40/3.

thus, it can be determined that this is not a possible pair of x and y values.

please try to understand and have a great day!
