Let total number of people be x
Therefore, 4/5 of x = 20
4/5*x = 20
x = 20*5/4
x = 5*5
x = 25

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the students in the sample is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

How many combination of random samples of 4 students can be selected?

4 from a set of 12. So

$C_{n,x} = \frac{12!}{4!(8)!} = 495$

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.

What is the value of x in the equation 1/5x – 2/3y = 30, when y = 15?

lianna [129]

Answer:

x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5x – 2/3y = 30

substitute in y

1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30

multiply

1/5x - 10 = 30

isolate the variable

1/5x = 40

multiply each side by 5

x = 200
