Answer:

d. 126; 70

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Ron  finds 9 books at a bookstore that he would like to buy, but he can afford only 5 of them.

Out of 9 books he has to select 5 of them

Here selection of books can be done in any order.  Hence order does not matter

No of ways he selects 5 books out of 9 books = 9C5

= 126

Part II

One book is a must

Hence he has options only 4 books from the remaining 8.

No of ways when one book is compulsory = selecting 3 books from 8 books

= 8C4

= 70

Option d is right.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

150 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the total amount of people at the talent show x. Since 3/6=1/2, we know that half the people are girls, 1/3 are boys. If we added 1/2 and 1/3 we get 5/6, 1-5/6=1/6, so now we know that 1/6 of the people are adults. Because it says "If there were 50 more girls than adults" so from that we can see that 1/2x =1/6x+50. If we were to simplify the equation, we 1/3x=50, so x=150
