Answer:

Total number of ways in which first, second and third prizes will be awarded = 560

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

There are 16 players participated in a tennis tournament.

and 3 players will be awarded for first, second, and third prize.

As we know,

ⁿCₓ = \frac{n!}{x! (n-x)!}

n = the number of items.

x = how many items are taken at a time.

As given, n = 16 , x = 3

⇒¹⁶C₃ = \frac{16!}{3! (16-3)!} = \frac{16!}{3! (13)!}  = \frac{16.15.14.13!}{3! (13)!} = \frac{16.15.14}{3!} = \frac{16.15.14}{3.2.1} = \frac{3360}{6} = 560

∴ we get

Total number of ways in which first, second and third prizes will be awarded = 560

You have a coupon for $5 off your total bill at Mama's Meals on Main a. How much will you pay after using the coupon if your bil
HACTEHA [7]

Answer :

(a) Amount paid after using the coupon = $b - $5 = $(b-5)

(b) Amount paid = $23.45 - $5 = $(23.45-5) = $18.45

Amount paid = $54.83- $5 = $(54.83-5) = $49.83

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Amount of coupon = $5

If amount of total bill = $b

Now we have to calculate the amount paid after using the coupon.

Amount paid after using the coupon = Total amount of bill - Amount of coupon

Amount paid after using the coupon = $b - $5 = $(b-5)

Now we have to calculate the amount paid if bill was $23.45.

Amount paid after using the coupon = Total amount of bill - Amount of coupon

Amount paid = $23.45 - $5 = $(23.45-5) = $18.45

Now we have to calculate the amount paid if bill was $54.83.

Amount paid after using the coupon = Total amount of bill - Amount of coupon

Amount paid = $54.83- $5 = $(54.83-5) = $49.83

Does anyone know the answers???
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

20. C, 21. A, 22. B

Step-by-step explanation:

20. Terms are numbers with variables next to them.

21. T can be anything. It can't be irrational because timers have a certain number. So for example, swimmer swims in 10 seconds, 18.5 seconds, 18.67 seconds, and so on.

22. If you solve 3x ≥ -12 and 8x ≤ 16, you get 3x ≥ -12; x = -4, and 8x ≤ 16; x = 2.

Hope it Helps!

Plz give brainliest. It would be appreciated!
