Answer:
Option B) 18 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n(A) be the shoppers who purchased at an online store
Let n(B) be the shoppers who purchased at a locally-owned store
Let n(C) be the shoppers who purchased at a big-box store
n(A ∩ B) is the shoppers who purchased at an online store and at a locally-owned store
n(B ∩ C) be the shoppers who purchased at a locally-owned store and at a big-box store
n(C ∩ A) is the shoppers who purchased at an online store and at a locally-owned store and at an online store
From the Venn diagram,
n(A) = 109
n(B) = 34
n(C) = 107
n() = 38
n(B ∩ C) = 17
n(C ∩ A) = 57
On Comparing the Venn Diagrams, we could find that shoppers made a purchase at an online store, a locally-owned store, and a big-box store [n( A ∩ B∩ C)] = 18
$12 x .20 = $2.40
12 - 2.40 = $9.60
$9.60 x .07 = $0.67
$9.60 + $0.67 = $10.27
Total price (including tax): $10.27
<u>We are given:</u>
The time-traveller has 79 books, but he can only take 5 books
since we need to find the number of ways he can choose 5 books, we know that the order in which he takes the books does NOT matter
Hence, we will use combination
<u>Finding the number of ways:</u>
Since we will use combination, ₇₉C₅
We know that the formula for combination is (n!) / (r!(n-r)!)
₇₉C₅ = 79! / 5!(74!)
₇₉C₅ = 22,537,515
Therefore, the time traveller can choose 5 books in 22,537,515 different ways
