Answer:

24 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination has to do with selection. For example, if r object is selected from a pool of n objects, the number if possible ways can be expressed according to the combination formula:

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

Applying this in question, if each student receives one of 4 calculator models and one of 3 types of ruler, the number of ways this can be done is:

4C1 × 3C1

4C1 = 4!/(4-1)!1! {If a student gets one calculator)

4C1 = 4×3×2/3×2

4C1 = 4ways

3C1 = 3!/(3-2)!1! {If a student gets a ruler}

3C1 = 3×2/1

3C1 = 6ways

Total number of possible outcomes if a student gets one ruler and one calculator will be 4×6 = 24ways

Carolyn is building a pen for a dog. The PERIMETER of the pen is 52 ft. The material is sold by the yard. It is 10.99 dollars pe
Mazyrski [523]
     We know that the fence is 52 <em>feet</em> long, but since it's sold in yards, we need to somehow convert feet to yards.
     First, we need to find a little something called a conversion factor. Basically, we need to see what we can do to get from <em>one foot</em> to <em>one yard</em>. 
Well, how many feet are there in a yard? <em><u>3.</u></em><u /><u /> So now we know that <em><u>one foot is 1/3 of a yard.</u>
</em>     
So to convert 52ft to yards, we need to divide by 3. What's 52 divided by 3? 
17.33.
Now we just need to multiply that by 10.99 so that we can find out the cost.
We get 190.45. That's your answer!

It all cost <em>$190.45
</em>

20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50
