There are 6^3 = 216 possible outcomes of rolling these 3 dice. Let's count the number of possible rolls that meet the criteria b < y < r, manually.
r = 1 or 2 is obviously impossible. So let's look at r = 3 through 6.
r = 3, y = 2, b = 1 is the only possibility for r=3. So n = 1
r = 4, y = 3, b = {1,2}, so n = 1 + 2 = 3
r = 4, y = 2, b = 1, so n = 3 + 1 = 4
r = 5, y = 4, b = {1,2,3}, so n = 4 + 3 = 7
r = 5, y = 3, b = {1,2}, so n = 7 + 2 = 9
r = 5, y = 2, b = 1, so n = 9 + 1 = 10
And I see a pattern, for the most restrictive r, there is 1 possibility. For the next most restrictive, there's 2+1 = 3 possibilities. Then the next one is 3+2+1
= 6 possibilities. So for r = 6, there should be 4+3+2+1 = 10 possibilities.
Let's see
r = 6, y = 5, b = {4,3,2,1}, so n = 10 + 4 = 14
r = 6, y = 4, b = {3,2,1}, so n = 14 + 3 = 17
r = 6, y = 3, b = {2,1}, so n = 17 + 2 = 19
r = 6, y = 2, b = 1, so n = 19 + 1 = 20
And the pattern holds. So there are 20 possible rolls that meet the desired criteria out of 216 possible rolls. So 20/216 = 5/54.
If this is represented by a linear function, then we know that the amount of money decreases at an unchanging amount. Knowing this, and knowing that on day 8, she had 2400, we simply just add 2400 to 8 100's:
2400 + 8*100 = 2400 + 800
Carrie initially had $3200, or Option C.
