Answer: The answer is 9.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that five members of gymnastics team and 7 members of weight lifting team are travelling in two vans  to the rival school for competition. We are to find the number of ways in which they can ride in two vans such that no van contains more than eight passengers and there is at least one member of each team in each van.

Let 'g' and 'w' denote a member of gymnastics team and weight lifting team respectively.

Then, the possibilities are

For 1 g, we can choose 3w, 4w, 5w, 6w.

For 2g, we can choose 2w, 3w, 4w, 5w, 6w.

For 3g, we can choose 1w, 2w, 3w, 4w, 5w.

For 4g, we can choose, 1w, 2w, 3w, 4w.

Therefore, there are (4 + 5 + 5 + 4) = 18 ways.

Since, here the position of the vans does not matter, so the options are double here. Hence, we must divide it by 2.

Thus, the total number of ways = 9.

3) Last year Kerry’s take home pay was £15 000 She spent 40% of her take home pay on rent. She used the rest of her take home pa

3,000. You take 15,000 and multiply by .4 to get how much she spent on rent (6,000). They you subtract the rent money from her total pay to get her money that she spent on living expenses, clothes and entertainment in total (9,000). Since she spent her money in six parts (3+2+1), you divide 9,000 by 6 to get 1,500 to get each part. Since for entertainment she has two parts you multiply 1,500 by 2 to get 3,000.
