Answer:

There are 3 marbles, that we assume are different.

Let's define them as marble 1, marble 2, and marble 3.

a) If the order is important, and we select the 3 marbles, then:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options (because one is already taken)

for the third marble is only one option.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options, so in this case, we have:

C = 3*2*1 = 6 combinations.

Now, if we only select 2 marbles from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options

Here the number of different combinations is:

C = 3*2 = 6 combinations.

And if we select only one marble from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

Then here are only 3 combinations.

the total number of combinations is:

C' = 6 + 6 + 3 = 15 different combinations.

b) If the order is not important, then there is only one combination when we draw the 3 marbles.

When we draw one marble there are 3 combinations (one for each marble)

When we draw two marbles, again there are 3 combinations (one for each marble that we do not draw)

then the total number of combinations in this case is:

C = 1 + 3 + 3 = 7

2. Suppose you pay $21 for a pair of shoes that was originally $30. What was the percent of decrease in price for the shoes? Set
boyakko [2]
30$ originally - 21$ paid = 9$ discount

> divide the discount by the original price, multiply by 100 to get the percent decrease.

100 x (9$ / 30$) = 30% discount
> So the shoes where on sale for 30% off the original price.

for the equation:
100 x (30-21)/30 = % decrease
