Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Holly's age be h and Aunt's age be a. We can setup 2 equations and solve.

1. \frac{h}{a}=\frac{4}{9}

2. a - 15 = h

We can plug in equation 2 into equation 1 to solve for aunt's age:

\frac{h}{a}=\frac{4}{9}\\\frac{a-15}{a}=\frac{4}{9}\\9(a-15)=4a\\9a-135=4a\\5a=135\\a=\frac{135}{5}=27

Holly's aunt's age is 27

Customers at Beans Coffee Shop have entered their name in a drawing for one of 4 gift cards. The gift cards each have a value of
Dimas [21]

Answer:

36,060,024 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose the winner in this case, the order is very important because it determines who is chosen first  out of the seventy-nine customers whose names were entered for the draw.

The above supports the reason Permutation will be used instead of Combination.

The total number of ways is given by:

⁷⁹P₄ = 79!/(79-4)!

       =  79!/75!

       = [79 x 78 x 77 x 76 x75!]/75!

       = 79 x 78 x 77 x 76

       =   36,060,024 ways

This implies that there are  36,060,024 ways the Bean Coffee Shop could choose the winners.
