There are 10 letters in the set {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j} which is the pool of letters to choose from when making these three letter codes.
We have 10 choices for slot 1
Then 9 choices for slot 2. This is because we can't reuse the choice for slot 1
Then 8 choices for slot 3
Overall, there are 10*9*8 = 90*8 = 720 different permutations
Answer: 720
Note: you can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 10 and r = 3 to get the same answer
To find the original price first put the % into decimal form.
58% is 0.58.
Then divide the discounted price ($116) by the % in decimal form:
116 / 0.58
Original price is $200.00
So 3 and 1/4 is equal to 4/4+4/4+4/4+1/4=13/4
so she put in 3 and 1/9 or 9/9+9/9+9/9+1/9 or 28/9
28/9+x=13/4
13/4-28/9=x
so we convert so that the bottom numbers are the same
a short cut is 3 and 1/4+x=3 and 1/9
3 1/9+x=3 1/4
subtract 3 from both sides
1/9+x=1/4
subtract 1/4 from both sides
x=1/4-1/9
convert bottom number to same thing
1/9=4/36
1/4=9/36
x=9/36-4/36
x=5/36
5/36 cups
96 degrees is your answer
supplementary means the angles add up to be 180 degrees. if 1 angle is 84 degrees then 180-84=96
