you estimate usally by the nearest 100. in this case its by 10 so your estimate answer is 30 because your final answer is 26. is the last number is greter than 5 you round up and lower than 5 you round down
The Empire is attacking a Rebel base that is stocked with X-wings and Y-wings. The Rebels need to build a fleet consisting of ships (with at least 1 X-wing), to be led by 1 pilot in an X-wing.
There are ways of picking the leader, and ways of building the rest of the fleet, so there's a total of
ways of building such a fleet.
In the other direction, suppose we build a fleet comprising of X-wings and Y-wings. We have ways of picking X-wings and ways of picking Y-wings. Also from the X-wings we pick 1 to be the leader, which we can do in ways. So there are
ways of building such a fleet. But since
, we have
ways of building the fleet with these specifications. Sum over all possible values of ,
