Answer:

E. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

C_1 = color 1

C_2 = color 2

C_3 = color 3

Case I

C₂      C₃       C₂

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₁       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case II

C₂      C₃       C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₂       C₃       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case III

C₁      C₃       C₂

C₂      C₁        C₃

C₃       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case IV

C₂     C₃         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case V

C₁      C₂         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₂      C₃       C₂

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case VI

C₁      C₂         C₃

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Therefore, the total combinations = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 36

Each day a small business owner sells 200 pizza slices at $3.00 per slice and 85 sandwiches at $2.50 each. Business expenses com
klio [65]

How much are the owner's expenses for 10 days?

10 * 130 = $1300

 

How much money does the owner make selling pizzas per day?

200 * 3 = $600

 

How much money does the owner make selling sandwiches per day?

85 * 2 = $170

 

In one day, the owner sells 600 + 170 = $770 worth of pizza and sandwiches

 

Over the course of ten days, that is 10 * 770 = $7700

 

Profit = revenue - cost = 7700 - 1300 = $6400


There ya go

The graph of f(x) is shown. Estimate f(–3).
Aneli [31]

You have to look for -3 on the x axis, and then proceed vertically (in this case upwards) until you meet the graph.

We land about 1/2 square above the 12 mark on the y axis. Since one square is 1/2 unit, a half square would be 1/4 unit.

So, we can estimate f(-3)\approx 12.25
