First, lets determine the regular price of his purchase :

16.99 (3) + 34.99 (3) + 52.99 (2) + 5.99 (5) = 50.97 + 104.97 + 105.98 + 29.95 = 291.87

Therefore, the regular price of his purchase is $291.87 before sales tax.

If he receives 25% off of his total purchase, then the price is now :

291.87 * .75 = $218.90

We multiply by 75% because we are only paying 75% of the total purchase price since we received a 25% discount.

The total savings is 

291.87 - 218.90 = $72.97

If sales tax is 10%, the total purchase price after sales tax is :

218.90 * 1.10 = $240.79

The sales tax is $21.89 since

240.79 -218.90 = 21.89

If he pays with 3 $100 bills, we should receive :

300 - 240.79 = $59.21 

in change.

If the police have 9 suspects how many different ways can they select 5 for a lineup
kow [346]
Assuming the order does not matter, you want the number of combinations of 9 things taken 5 at a time.  The combinations can be shown as C(9,5), 9C5.

C(9, 5) =
9/5(9-5) = 
9*8*7*6*5 / 5*4 

The 5 terms cancel. 

9*8*7*6 / 4*3*2 = 
9*7*2 = 
126

The above change is because 4*2 cancels the 8 in the numerator and 6/3 = 2
Therefore, the solution is 126.
