Let x=papers on Saturday and y=papers on Sunday

First make equations for the information given to you

x+y=52 (total papers) and y= x+8 (he sold 8 more on Sunday)

then since you know y=x+8 then substitute it in the other equation like so

x+(x+8)=52 which means 2x+8=52 which means 2x=44 and therefore x=22

the problem however asks for sunday and not saturday, so solve for y now

y=x+8 which means y=22+8 which means y=30

He sold 30 papers on Sunday

A whole number consists of the digits 2, 4, 6, 8, and 0. If each digit is used only once, how many whole numbers are possible?

Leya [2.2K]

Eas
permutations
5 digits
5*4*3*2*1=120 ways
if you count 0 in front of the number as a whole number
if you don't, then there are 96 ways

emma will roll two number cubes labeled 1 through 6. She will record the sum of the two numbers after each roll. She will roll t

SashulF [63]

Answer:

75 times

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let's ook at the 36 possible outcomes and their sums.

2=1,1

3=1,2 2,1

4=1,3 ; 2,2 ; 3,1

5=1,4 ; 2,3 ; 3,2 ; 4,1

6=1,5 ; 2,4 ; 3,3 ; 4,2 ; 5,1

7=1,6 ; 2,5 ; 3,4 ; 4,3 ; 5,2 ; 6,1

8=2,6 ; 3,5 ; 4,4 ; 5,3 ; 6,2

9=3,6 ; 4,5 ; 5,4 ; 6,3

10=4,6 ; 5,5 ; 6,4

11=5,6 ; 6,5

12=6,6

Looking at the above, there are 4 sums equal to 5 out of a total of 36 sums.

Thus, probability of getting a sum equal to 5 is;

P(5) = 5/36

Now,since the cubes are rolled 540 times, number of times a sum equal to 5 will appear will be;

(5/36) x 540 = 75 times
