300 cookies were ordered to start. 

We can tell this because we know 12% is equal to 36. Because this is true, we can set up a proportion to solve. All proportions can be set up with the small number on top and the total on the bottom. This will help you solve for the missing number, which is in this case the total number of cookies.  Let x be the total number of cookies.  

Percentage/total percentage = cookies/cookies total 
12/100 = 36/x

Now we can cross multiply to solve. 
(100)(36) = (12)(x) ----> multiply 
3600 = 12x ---> divide by 12
300 = x

Of the 2,598,960 different five-card hands possible from a deck of 52 playing cards, how many would contain all black cards.
kumpel [21]

Answer: 65,780

Step-by-step explanation:

When we select r things from n things , we use combinations and the number of ways to select r things = ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Given : The total number of playing cards in a deck = 52

The number of different five-card hands possible from a deck = 2,598,960

In a deck , there are 26 black cards and 26 red cards.

The number of ways to select 5 cards from 26 cards = ^{26}C_{5}=\dfrac{26!}{(26-5)!5!}

=\dfrac{26\times25\times24\times23\times22\times21!}{21!(120)}=65780

Hence, the number of different five-card hands possible from a deck of 52 playing cards such that all are black cards = 65,780
