Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
The second package costs $2 for each pair of socks. If the first package cost that much, it would be 8×$2 = $16 for 8 pairs of socks. That is not the same as $12 for 8 pairs.
__
Another way to look at it is the first package costs twice as much as the second, but has more than twice as many pairs of socks. That means the rates are not equivalent.
23(x)-85
Substitute 12 for x
23(12)-85
276-85

Answer:
274560
Step-by-step explanation:
We can "choose" one of the 66 athletes for the gold medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 65 athletes left.
We can then "choose" one of the 65 athletes left for the silver medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 64 athletes left.
We can then "choose" one of the 64 athletes left for the bronze medal.
That leaves us with 66 possible choices * 65 possible choices * 64 possible choices=274560 possible choices
