Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
f(x) = -10
set the equation equal to -10 and solve for x:
-10 = -x-1
Add 1 to both sides:
-9 = -x
Divide both sides by -1:
x = 9
I'm pretty sure 4.82 as a simplified fraction is 241/50.
Well he wants to buy 100 blue balloons so that would cost 100*0.6. The cost of white balloons(because they are half off) are w*0.3. He has a total of 150 dollars to we get 100*0.6+w*0.3=150 or 60+0.3w=150
Thus we get c
1 & 5/8 because 7/8 is closer to 1 whole than 5/8
