Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(12-3)/2 = 9/2
(-5-3)/2= -8/2= -4
(9/2, -4)
Amount paid for the first book is $17.
Amount paid for the second book is 0.75 x 8 = $6
Total amount paid = $17 + $6 = $23
Total full cost of the two books = $17 + $8 = $25
Amount of discount = $25 - $23 = $2
% reduction =
Therefore, the <span>percent of the total cost of the two books reduced during the sale</span> is 8%
a) if the two gloves someone receives might both be for the left hand or right hand.
b) if each sister gets one left and one right.
Soln:
a) So i thought about dissectng the problem first into finding the number of ways in which I could make pairs of gloves:
C(12, 2)
then I asked how many ways could the sets of gloves be assigned amongst the 6 sisters:
<span><span>6!</span><span>6!</span></span>
and taking the product of this would give me the amount of ways this could occur:
= C(12,2) * 6!
then for part b)
using this same idea except:
C(6,1) C(6,1) for the left and right glove each .
the C(6,1)*C(6,1)*6!
Right way to think them through?
Maybe 45 but get someone else to check
