Well, you could assign a letter to each piece of luggage like so...

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

What you could then do is set it against a table (a configuration table to be precise) with the same letters, and repeat the process again. If the order of these pieces of luggage also has to be taken into account, you'll end up with more configurations.

My answer and workings are below...

35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.

210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.

*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.

Alternative way to solve the problem...

Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.

Taylor invested $650 in an account paying an interest rate of 2.3% compounded
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $650

Interest rate, r = 2.3% = 0.023 compounded daily

Time, t it takes for final amount, A to reach $880

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

n = number of times compounded per period

Hence, n = 365

880 = 650(1 + 0.023/365)^365t

880/650 = 1.0000630^365t

1.3538461 = 1.0000630^365t

Take the log

0.1315692 = 0.0000273596 * 365t

0.1315692 = 0.0099862t

t = 0.1315692 / 0.0099862

t = 13.175101

t = 13.18 years a

Maria and farida has 250 beads altogether. After Maria used 18 beads to make a bracket and farida gave away 2/5 of her beads, th
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Maria had 105 beads at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of beads Maria have be x.

Let number of beads Farida have be y.

Given:

Maria and Farida has 250 beads altogether.

Hence equation is represented as;

x+y =250 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

Maria used 18 beads to make a bracket.

hence bead left with maria = x-18

farida gave away 2/5 of her beads.

Hence beads left with Farida = y - \frac{2}{5}y= \frac{5y}{5}-\frac{2y}{5}=\frac{5y-2y}{5}=\frac{3y}{5}

Also they have the same number of beads left.

bead left with maria = beads left with Farida

x-18= \frac{3y}{5}\\5(x-18)=3y\\5x-90=3y\\5x-3y =90 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 with 3 we get;

3(x+y)=3\times250 = 3x+3y = 750 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now adding equation 2 by equation 3 we get;

(5x-3y)+(3x+3y) = 750+90\\5x-3y+3x+3y = 840\\8x=840\\x=\frac{840}{8}=105

we know the value of x = 105

hence substituting value of x in equation 1 we get;

105+y=250\\y=250-105 =145

Maria had 105 beads and Farida had 145 beads at first.

Final Answer: Maria had 105 beads at first.

I need help with solving #22
Furkat [3]

22)

Because OP and OR trisect <NOS

so <NOP = <POR

3x - 4y = x - y so 2x = 3y

<POR = <ROS

x - y = y - 10 so x = 2y - 10

Substitue x = 2y - 10 into 2x = 3y

2(2y - 10) = 3y

4y - 20 = 3y

y = 20

x = 2y - 10 = 2(20) - 10 = 30

x = 30 and y = 20

<ROS = y - 10 = 20 - 10 = 10

Answer

<ROS = 10°
