<u>Answer: </u>
A secretary is making an inventory of office supplies. Secretary will indicate 540 pens in inventory.
<u>Solution: </u>
From question, given that
Number of boxes full of blue pen in inventory = 12
Number of pen in 1 box = 45.
Secretary needs to find number of pens in inventory.
Number of pen in 1 box = 45
So number of pens in 12 box = number of pen in 1 box 12
45 x 12 = 540
Hence secretary will indicate 540 pens in inventory.

<h3>Answer: 28</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Method 1
Imagine a table with 8 rows and 8 columns to represent all possible match-ups. You can actually draw out this table or just think of it as a thought experiment.
There are 8*8 = 64 entries in the table. Along the northwest diagonal, we have each team pair up with itself. This is of course silly and impossible. We cross off this entire diagonal so we drop to 64-8 = 56 entries.
Then notice that the lower left corner is a mirror copy of the upper right corner. A match-up like AB is the same as BA. So we must divide by 2 to get 56/2 = 28 different matches.
----------------------------------
Method 2
There are 8 selections for the first slot, and 8-1 = 7 selections for the second slot. We have 8*7 = 56 permutations and 56/2 = 28 combinations.
----------------------------------
Method 3
Use the nCr combination formula with n = 8 and r = 2
There are 28 combinations possible. Order doesn't matter (eg: match-up AB is the same as match-up BA).
Notice how the (8*7)/2 expression is part of the steps shown above in the nCr formula.

Step-by-step explanation:
The amortization formula can be used to find the payment value.
A = P(r/2)/(1 -(1 +r/2)^(2n))
where P is the principal amount at the beginning of the loan period, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of years remaining on the loan
The value of A in this scenario is the semi-annual payment.
Initially, the interest rate is 0.055 and the number of years remaining is 25.
After the first 5-year period, the interest rate goes up by 12%, so is multiplied by a factor of 1.12 to become 6.16% per year. The same growth factor is applied to the interest rate at the beginning of each 5-year period.
Of course, the number of years remaining is decreased by 5 years at the beginning of the next 5-year period.
__
The Principal remaining at the end of each 5-year period is the starting principal for the next period. It is calculated from ...
FV = P(1 +r/2)^10 -A((1 +r/2)^10 -1)/(r/2)
Where P is the starting principal, A is the loan payment as calculated above, and r is the annual interest rate.

These formulas are built into spreadsheet functions, so the desired set of loan payments can be calculated easily by that technology. The result is attached. In the "# pmts" column is the value used to amortize the loan for the 5-year period. The semiannual payment is calculated as though the loan would be completely paid off in that number of payments, keeping the same interest rate for the duration. Of course, that payment series is interrupted and the loan recalculated at the beginning of the next 5 years.
The half-yearly payments for each 5-year interval are ...

$35,176.68
$36,869.23
$38,266.75

<em>Additional comment</em>
The values displayed in the spreadsheet are rounded to the values shown. The values used in calculation have 14 or more significant digits. This means the numbers here may vary from those provided by a lending institution. In the real world, the principal and interest values are rounded to cents with each payment, so actual results may vary by a few cents either way.
