Let the daily rate of each associate, A = $700

And the daily rate of each partner, P = $1700

Let the total number of individuals involved in the case = NT

Total number of partners = NP

Total number of associates = NA

NP + NA = NT -------- (i)

From the question; NP - NA = 4 -------- (ii)

From (i), NA = NT - NP

Substitute in (ii) as: NP - (NT - NP) = 4

Therefore, 2NP - NT = 4.

And NP = 2 + (NT/2) --------- (iii)

Substitute for NP in (i) above: NT = NA + 2 + (NT/2)

Therefore, NT - (NT/2) - 2 = NA.

NA = (NT/2) - 2 ---------- (iv)

Finally, the total daily rate was $21200. This is a composite of the daily rate and numbers of both associates and partners.

Therefore, (A * NA) + (P * NP) = $21200 ---------- (v)

To find the individual number of associates and partners involved in this case, first substitute the values of NP and NA from (iii) and (iv) respectively into (v) such that the only variable in (v) is NT.

Solve for NT and then use the value to find NP and NA.

NT = 16

NP = 10

NA = 6

Notice that 10 - 6 = 4. Q.E.D

Hope this helps.

lions [1.4K]

The second store offered the better buy at the price of $92.00.

What is better buy?

Better buy refers to the lowest price out of the prices offered by the three stores.

In order to determine the lowest price, the no discount price of the first store needs to be compared to the prices of  two other stores, bearing that after-discount price is the pre-discount price multiplied by 1 minus the discount rate.

First store price=$95.00

Second store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$115

discount rate=20%

Second store after-discount price=$115*(1-20%)

Second store after-discount price=$92.00

Third store after-discount price=pre-tax discount price*(1-discount rate)

pre-discount price=$105

discount rate=10%

Third store after-discount price=$105*(1-10%)

Third store after-discount price=$94.50

How many different ways can a coach select the captain and co-captain of a team from a group of 20 people?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The coach can select the captain in 20 ways (i.e. from all the available 20 players), and he can select the co-captain in 19 ways (i.e. after selecting the captain, there will be 19 people left).
Therefore, the coach can select the captain and the co-captain in 20 x 19 = 380 ways.
