We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.
$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card
Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation.
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.
We can now solve the equation:
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24
Our solution is: x = 27.

An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.
$20 - $13.52 = $6.48
So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.
6.48 ÷ 24 = 27
We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 =
6 =
The subtraction is then
-
Both fractions have a common denominator so subtract the numerators leaving the denominator
= = → A
Cos(60) = cos(90 - 30) = sin(30) = 1/2
This should be what you want.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The full question:</u>
<em>"A committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer. each member is equally likely to serve in any of the positions. Three members are randomly selected and assigned to be the new chairman, ranking member, and treasurer. What is the probability of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current positions?"</em>

The permutation of choosing 3 members from a group of 11 would be:
P(n,r) =
Where n would be the total [in this case n is 11] & r would be 3
Which is:
P(11,3) =
So there are total of 990 possible way and there is ONLY ONE WAY for them to be reassigned. Hence the probability would be:
1/990
