<h3>Answer: 3360</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

There are 16 ways to pick the first place winner, 15 for second place, and 14 for third place. Each time we count down by 1 because no single person can be in two (or more) places at once.

Overall, this leads to 16*15*14 = 3360 different permutations

Prove A-(BnC) = (A-B)U(A-C), explain with an example

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Prove set equality by showing that for any element $x$ , $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ if and only if $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ .

Example:

$A = \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace$ .

$B = \lbrace0,\, 1 \rbrace$ .

$C = \lbrace0,\, 2 \rbrace$ .

$\begin{aligned} & A \backslash (B \cap C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \backslash \lbrace 0 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& (A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 2,\, 3\rbrace \cup \lbrace 1,\, 3 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace\end{aligned}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof for $[x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))] \implies [x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))]$ for any element $x$ :

Assume that $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ . Thus, $x \in A$ and $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ .

Since $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ , either $x \not \in B$ or $x \not \in C$ (or both.)

If $x \not \in B$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash B)$ .
Similarly, if $x \not \in C$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash C)$ .

Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ as required.

Proof for $[x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))] \implies [x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))]$ :

Assume that $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ . Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

If $x \in (A \backslash B)$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in B$ . Notice that $(x \not \in B) \implies (x \not \in (B \cap C))$ since the contrapositive of that statement, $(x \in (B \cap C)) \implies (x \in B)$ , is true. Therefore, $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ and thus $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .
Otherwise, if $x \in A \backslash C$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in C$ . Similarly, $x \not \in C \!$ implies $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ . Therefore, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .

Either way, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ implies $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ , as required.

Grace [21]

First, find the amount the sale is worth. To do such a thing, calculate 20% of 35$ like this
(35 * 20) / 100 = ?

To find the cost of 1 jean, take the sale's worth off the full price.
35 - ? = $

Then, multiply it by 6, for 6 jeans.
