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

Rudik [331]

Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

If an unknown number is added to 8, this is expressed as;

8 + x

<em>If The sum is  then divided by 9 to give the answer 10, then;</em>

<em>(8+x)/9 = 10</em>

<em>Cross multiply</em>

<em>8 + x = 9 * 10</em>

<em>8 + x = 90</em>

<em>x = 90 - 8</em>

<em>x = 82</em>

Hence the unknown number is 82
