Answer: 3 dollars is saved on 9 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of one bar soap is $2

Original cost of 3 bars would be 2×3 = $6

But it was sold at a rate of 3 bars for $5. Amount of money saved on 3 bars would be 6 - 5 = $1

If another 3 bars are bought for $5, the amount saved will be $1 again.

If 3 extra bars are bought for $5, the amount saved will be $1

Total number of bars bought is 3 + 3 + 3 = 9

Total amount saved = 1 + 1 + 1 = $3

Checking,

3 bars = $5

9 bars = (9×5)/3 = $15

Originally, 9 bars = 9×2 =$18

Amount saved = 18 - 15 = $3

You saved $12.6

3 divided by $5 = 0.6

0.6 x 9= $5.4

9 x $2 = $18

$18- $5.4= $12.6

Amy's grandmother gave her 3 identical chocolate chip cookies and 4 identical sugar cookies. In how many different orders can Am

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

chocolate chip cookie first: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie last: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie first and last: 5 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 7 cookies.

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total).

So, to find the number of different orders that Amy can eat the remaining cookies, we just need to calculate a combination of 6 choose 2 (that is, the number of ways we can put the 2 chocolate cookies among the 6 cookies) or a combination of 6 choose 4 (same thing, but for the sugar cookies):

C(6,2) = 6! / (2! * 4!) = 6 * 5 / 2 = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie last, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total), so the problem is solved again with a combination of 6 choose 2:

C(6,2) = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first and last, she will have just 1 chocolate cookie left and 4 sugar cookies (5 in total), so the problem is solved with a combination of 5 choose 1 or a combination of 5 choose 4:

C(5,1) = 5! / (1! * 4!) = 5 ways

A clothing store is selling a shirt for a discounted price of $43.61. If the discount is 11%, what was the original price, in do

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the discounted price is $43.61 and this was at an 11% discount

hence the discounted price represents 100% - 11% = 89% of the original price.

if:

89% of original price = $43.61

1% of original price = $(43.61 / 89)

100% of original price = $(43.61 / 89) x 100 = $49
