Answer:

a) rCn = 1176

b) 2352

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Each committee should be formed with 3 members ( no two members could be of the same state) then

Let´s  fix a senator for any of the 50 states so in the new condition we need to combined 49 senators in groups of 2 then

rCn =  n! / (n - r )! *r!

rCn =  49!/ (49 - 2)!*2!

rCn =  49*48*47! / 47!*2!

rCn = 49*48 /2

rCn = 1176

So we can choose in 1176 different ways a senator for a given state

b) To answer this question we have to note, that, 1176 is the number of ways a committee can be formed with senators of different sate (taking just one senator for state ) if we have 2 senators we need to multiply that figure by 2.

1176*2 = 2352

It is a simple multiplication problem. If you work for 39 hours, and you get paid $8.17 for every hour you work, just multiply 8.17 by 39 to get the gross pay.

8.17 x 39 = 318.63

The gross pay is $318.6.

Hope this helps =)

Simple, finding markdown, use these two formulas.

Markdown=Original-New
and
Percent Markdown= Markdown Amount/Original*100

So,

Markdown=612-450
M=162

Markdown%= 162/612*100
M%=0.2647*100
M%=26.5 (rounded)

Thus, there was a 26.5% decrease.
