Answer:
Well, how many were left over? Mrs. Adams has a muffin factory and made 1 million muffins. Carl ate 2/5 or 40% or 400,000 muffins, and John ate 25. 599,975 muffins were shipped for sale. That meets the stated requirements.
Hence, we have to guess there were supposed to be no muffins left over.
In that case, Mrs. Adams baked 125/3 muffins, Carl ate 2/5 of them = 50/3, leaving 75/3 = 25 for John.
Step-by-step explanation:
x muffins baked, 2/5 eaten by Carl, 3/5 left to be eaten by John, who ate 25 before running out.
3/5 x = 25
x = 25 × 5/3 = 125/3 = 41 + 2/3
Or, Start with x muffins. Carl ate 2/5 x, leaving 3/5 x. John ate 25 with zero left over. So 3/5 x = 25.
(x - 2/5 x) - 25 = 0
3/5 x = 25
x = (5/3) × 25 = 125/3.
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).

Answer:
A person can select 3 coins from a box containing 6 different coins in 120 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total choices = n = 6
no. of selections to be made = r = 3
The order of selection of coins matter so we will use permutation here.
Using the formula of Permutation:
nPr = 
We can find all possible ways arranging 'r' number of objects from a given 'n' number of choices.
Order of coin is important means that if we select 3 coins in these two orders:
--> nickel - dime - quarter
--> dime - quarter - nickel
They will count as two different cases.
Calculating the no. of ways 3 coins can be selected from 6 coins.
nPr =
= 
nPr = 120
