Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason why this answer is 200 is because it gave us a clue that 30 students said that pie was their favorite desert, what is half of 30? 15 so therefore, the pattern is half of each.
Ice cream: 35x2=70
Cake: 27x2=54
Candy: 23x2=46
Pie: 15x2=30
So, 70+54+46+30=200
The number of 10 chips stacks that Dave can make if two stacks are not considered distinct is 110.
The solution
To get the symmetric stacks, one has to subtract the symmetric stacks to know the ones that are asymmetric.
The symmetric are flipped. Given that they are double counted what we have to do is to divide through by 2.
6/2 = 3
10/2 = 5
4/2 = 2
1/2(10C6) - (5C3) + (5C3)
0.5(210-10+10)
= 110
C because median is all about the middle
2(x+4) = 1/2(4x-4)
Multiply through by 2:-
4(x + 4) = 4x - 4
4x + 16 = 4x - 4
4x - 4x = -4 - 16
0 = -20
This is obviously wrong so there is NO Solution (answer).
