A) Cait made two errors:

  1. a discount is a deduction so it should be subtracted from the 100% (1.00 - 0.15 = 0.85), not added to 100% (1.00 + 0.15 = 1.15).
  2. she paid 6% of the discounted amount, not 6% in addition to the discounted amount.

B) Original amount × Percent remaining after discount × percent paid

= (20)(0.85)(0.06)

= $1.02

yan [13]

Answer:

There are 2,598,960 ways to receive 5 cards from a deck of 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the cards are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

a. How many ways are there to receive 5 cards from a deck of 52?

C_{52,5} = \frac{52!}{5!(47)!} = 2598960

There are 2,598,960 ways to receive 5 cards from a deck of 52.

The area of a triangle can be computed from two sides and the angle between them as ...

  A = (1/2)ab·sin(γ)

  A = (1/2)(3.7)(3.7)sin(40°) ≈ 4.40 . . .  square units
