Answer:

224

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a committee of six Congressmen will be selected from a group of eight Republicans and four Democrats.

Total no of ways of selecting 6 persons from the given list

= taking 6 persons out of 12 persons

= 12C6\\=924

Favourable ways

= ways of selecting 3 republicians

= 3 republicians and 3 democrats

= 8C3(4C3)\\= 4(56)\\\\=224

the number of ways of obtaining a committee with exactly three Republicans.

= 224

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok let start by putting a set amount of hats, let start with 12, 8 times 12 equals 96, 200-96 is 104… I would subtract 8 until you get a number you can divide equally by 10, 104-8=96, 96-8 =88 , 88-8=80, there is 80 dollars left! Ok 80 divide by 10 = 8 so

8 shirts and we’ll we started at 12 and then we add how many more time we subtracted 8 so 15 total,

So, in total 8 shirts and 15 hats!!!
