Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9C3 total ways of picking 3 people from 9 where order does not matter.

To pick 3 boys from 6, you must do 6C3

When you do both of these you divide the smaller by the larger.

9C3 = 84

6C3 = 20

So the probability that you want is

20/84 = 0.238

If you are uncertain where the 84 comes from, it is calculated like this

9*8*7*6! The 6!s cancel out and you are left with

=======

6! * (9 -6)!

9C3 = 9*8*7/3!

9C3 = 3 * 4 * 7 = 84

6C3 is done exactly the same way.

icang [17]

(T - 25) = M = J

T + M + J = 275

Plug in for M and J

T + (T - 25) + (T - 25) = 275

3T - 50 = 275

3T = 325

T = 108.33 (about)

Todd pays $108.33. Matt and Jeff pay $25 less than him.

108.33 - 25 = 88.33

Todd : $108.33
Matt : $88.33
Jeff : $88.33
