Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.
Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240
Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160
Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52

Answer:
x = 9/2 or x= 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
you factor out the equation:
5x-15=3x-6
+15 +15
5x=3x+9
-3x -3x
2x=9
x=9/2 or 4.5
If the companies claim is to be true this statement would also be true. Since the child bag is halved in the amount of the adults, the percentage would double. There are both 15 red jelly beans in each bag. 15% of 100 is 15. 30% of 50 is 15.
