Answer:

$^{(x-y)}C_{10}=\frac{(x-y)!}{10! \times (x-y-10)!}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total flavors Sammy initially had = x

Number of flavors Sammy throw away = y

After throwing away y flavors, the number of flavors Sammy will be left with = x - y

He needs to make 10-flavor bags from these (x - y) flavors. In order words he needs to chose 10 flavors for each bag from(x - y) flavors. The order of selection is not important here, so this is a problem of combinations. Also since we have to make selections or small groups, this also indicates that we have to use combinations.

So we need to make combinations of 10 flavors from a total of (x - y) flavors. This can be represented as $^{(x-y)}C_{10}$
