Answer:

6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

h=hat, s=scarf

5h + 1s = $47 (equation 1)

2h + 2s = $40 (equation 2)

multiply equation 1 by 2 , we get: 10h + 2s = $94 (equation 3)

equation 3 minus equation 2, we get:

8h = $54 ⇒ h = $6.75 ⇔ 1 hat cost $6.75

substitute h = $6.75 into equation 2 to find s,

2($6.75) + 2s = $40

$13.5 + 2s = $40

2s = $26.5

s = $13.25 ⇔ 1 scarf cost $13.25

How many ways can you arrange the letters in the word prime?

Jobisdone [24]

There are 5 letters in the word "prime"

Imagine we had 5 slots to fill. They are empty initially.
Slot 1 has 5 choices to pick from
Once we pick a letter, we have 4 choices left over for slot 2
Slot 3 will have 3 choices
Slot 4 will have 2 choices
Slot 5 will have 1 choice

We have this countdown: 5,4,3,2,1

which multiplies out to 5*4*3*2*1 = 120

There are 120 unique ways to arrange the letters. Order matters. Because order matters, this is a permutation.
