exactly half of the chairs

Answer:

There are 67626 ways of distributing the chairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combinatorial problem of balls and sticks. In order to represent a way of distributing n identical chairs to k classrooms we can align n balls and k-1 sticks. The first classroom will receive as many chairs as the amount of balls before the first stick. The second one will receive as many chairs as the amount of balls between the first and the second stick, the third classroom will receive the amount between the second and third stick and so on (if 2 sticks are one next to the other, then the respective classroom receives 0 chairs).

The total amount of ways to distribute n chairs to k classrooms as a result, is the total amount of ways to put k-1 sticks and n balls in a line. This can be represented by picking k-1 places for the sticks from n+k-1 places available; thus the cardinality will be the combinatorial number of n+k-1 with k-1, {n+k-1 \choose k-1} .

For the 2 largest classrooms we distribute n = 50 chairs. Here k = 2, thus the total amount of ways to distribute them is {50+2-1 \choose 2-1} = 51 .

For the 3 remaining classrooms (k=3) we need to distribute the remaining 50 chairs, here we have {50+3-1 \choose 3-1} = {52 \choose 2} = 1326 ways of making the distribution.

As a result, the total amount of possibilities for the chairs to be distributed is 51*1326 = 67626.

MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Initial price = $2.00

Final price = $2.50

First we subtract the final price to the inicial price

              increment = 2.50 - 2.00

                                = $0.50    It's the amount that the school increases to the community members

            Now we use a rule of three to find the percent

                 $2.00 ----------------------  100%

                 $0.50  ---------------------    x

x = 0.50 x 100/2 = 50/2 = 25%

Julieta wants to attend a 4-year private university that costs $40,000 per year for tuition. Her parents plan to contribute a qu
Bumek [7]

Answer:

$5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to determine the total amount of money she needs to save to cover the cost of the tuition by subtracting the financial aid, the scholarship and the amount her parents plan to contribute from the total cost of the tuition:

40,000-(40,000/4)-(40,000*25%)-5,000

40,000-10,000-10,000-5,000

40,000-25,000= 15,000

She needs to save a total amount of 15,000. Then, you need to divide this amount by 3:

15,000/3= $5,000

Julieta will need to save $5,000 each year over the next 3 years before her first year.

Please help me find the distance between the points (5,4) and (1,-2) and express the answer in simplest radical form.
finlep [7]
The distance between two points can be calculated using the following formula:
distance = sqrt [ (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]

Now, we are given the two points (5,4) and (1,-2)
Substitute with the given points in the above equation to get the distance as follows:
distance = sqrt [(1-5)^2 + (-2-4)^2]
distance = sqrt [16+36] = sqrt[52]
distance = 2√13 = 7.2111 units
