Answer:

Per ounce better buy is <em>Happy popcorn</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Happy popcorn price for 16 ounces = $1.39

Popper popcorn price for 34 ounces = $2.79

Discount coupon present with Gabe = 40 ¢ = $0.40

To find:

Which brand is the better buy per ounce?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the price that Gabe has to pay after the discount coupon being applied.

Price for 16 ounces of Happy popcorn after discount = $1.29 - $0.40 = $0.99

Price for 1 ounce of Happy popcorn after discount = $\frac{\$0.99}{16}$ = $0.062

Price for 34 ounces of Popper popcorn after discount = $2.79 - $0.40 = $2.39

Price for 1 ounce of Popper popcorn after discount = $\frac{\$2.39}{34}$ = $0.070

Clearly, per ounce price of Happy popcorn is lesser than that of Popper popcorn.

Therefore per ounce better buy is <em>Happy popcorn</em>.

qwelly [4]

9000 ways to create 4-digit passwords using digits from 0 to 9 that the first character can't be 0, but not using the digit 0 as the first character.

We have to see how many different 4-digit passwords we can create by using digits from 0 to 9, such that the first character can't be 0.

<h3>What is the combination?</h3>

Each of the different groups or selections can be formed by taking some or all of a number of objects, irrespective of their arrangments is called a combination.

Here we have 4 selections.

Now let's find the number of options for each of these:

First character = 9 options {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Second character = 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Third character = 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Fourth character = 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

The total number of different combinations is just the product of these 4 numbers:

C = 9×10×10×10 = 9,000

So, we can conclude that the correct option is D.
