Answer: 14


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total balance in the account = $200

Also the business assistant must leave more than $50 in the supply account.

Therefore, the maximum amount he can use to order boxes= \$200-\$50=\$150..(1)

Since the assistant needs to order x boxes of pens.

Cost of each box = $10.50

Therefore, cost of x boxes=10.50 x

From (1), we have the inequality

10.50x\leq150\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq\frac{150}{10.50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq14.285\\\Rightarrow\ x=14....\text{[since 14 is the maximum whole number less than 14.285]}

Hence, the business assistant can buy maximum 14 boxes of pens.

9880 different possibilities are there in Sally's new combination option second 9880 is correct.

<h3>What is permutation and combination?</h3>

A permutation is the number of different ways a set can be organized; order matters in permutations, but not in combinations.

We have:

Total unique numbers consists in a Sally locker = 3

From the digits 0 to 39

Total numbers = 40

Apply combination formula:

= C(40, 3)

= 40!/(3!37!)

= 9880

Thus, 9880 different possibilities are there in Sally's new combination option second 9880 is correct.

The equation of a line with slope m= - 1/4 and including point (-3, 5) is y= - 1/4 x - 4.
raketka [301]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = - \frac{1}{4}, hence

y = - \frac{1}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 3, 5) into the partial equation

5 = \frac{3}{4} + c ⇒ c = \frac{17}{4}

y = - \frac{1}{4} x + \frac{17}{4} ← equation of line
