I can answer 18 for you, but I don't understand 16
18. Since when we lose 3 girls the ratio for the girls side drops by 1, that tells us that 1 digit equals 3 people.
a) 5*3=15 so our answer is 15 girls.
b) 4*3=12 and 5*3=15 so 15+12, our answer would be 27
Use the permutation formula
nPr = (n!)/((n-r)!)
20P15 = (20!)/((20-15)!)
20P15 = (20!)/(5!)
The final answer is choice A
Answer: x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
2=x-16
18=x
you solve this by adding -16 to -16 and 2, and then there's nothing else to do.
