Team A) 45 people
Team B) 55 people
A)There are two ways to solve this problem, finding the number of combinations possible for Team B, or the number of combinations possible for Team A.
Team A
It's a given that 20 mathematicians are on team A, which leavs the other 25 people for team A to be chosen from a pool of 80 (100- 20 mathletes)
80-C-25 = 80! / (25!/(80-25)!) =<span>363,413,731,121,503,794,368
</span>or 3.63 x 10^20
Solving using Team B
Same concept, but choosing 55 from a pool of 80 (mathletes excluded)
80-C-25 = 80! / (55!(80-55!) = 363,413,731,121,503,794,368
or 3.63 x 10^20
As you can, we get the same answer for both.
B)
If none of the mathematicians are on team A, then we exclude the 20 and choose 45:
80-C-45 = 80! / (45!(80-45)!) = <span>5,790,061,984,745,3606,481,440
or 5.79 x 10^22
Note that, if you solve from the perspective of Team B (80-C-35), you get the same answer</span>
The equation which can be used to find the number of quarters and nickels is; n + q = 84, 0.05n + 0.25q = 17.80.
<h3>Quarters and nickels</h3>
- Total coins = 84
- Total value = $17.80
let
- Number of quarters = q
- Number of nickels = n
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 17.80
From equation (1)
n = 84 - q
Substitute into (2)
0.05n + 0.25q = 17.80
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 17.80
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 17.80
- 0.05q + 0.25q = 17.80 - 4.2
0.20q = 13.60
q = 13.60 / 0.20
q = 68
Substitute q = 68 into
n + q = 84
n + 68 = 84
n = 84 - 68
n = 16
Therefore, the number of quarters and nickels are 68 and 16 respectively.

Because the are not the same size
Remark
This is an excellent question. Estimation is a powerful skill to have. People should always shop using estimates. Try it to see what happens.
x = 11.7 which rounds up to which we will call x1 and that is 12
y = 6.03 which round down to 6 which we will call y1 and that is 6
Now x - y = 5.67
If you do the rounded subtraction x1 - y1 = 12 - 6 = 6
The estimate is not zero. D is not correct.
There is enough information E is not the answer.
B is wrong, her estimate is larger than x - y
C is wrong the two subtractions are not equal.
A is correct and always will be no matter what numbers are chosen
A <<<< Answer
Answer: The answer would be $140
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide $80 / 4 which equals 20 and then multiply that times 7
