This is the easiest way to solve this problem:
Imagine this represents how many combinations you can have for each of the 4 wheels (each blank spot for one wheel): __ __ __ __
For the first situation it says how many combos can we make if no digits are repeated.
We have 10 digits to use for the first wheel so put a 10 in the first slot
10 __ __ __
Since no digit can be repeated we only have 9 options for the second slot
10 9_ __ __
Same for the third slot, so only 8 options
<u>10</u> <u> 9 </u> <u> 8 </u> __
4th can't be repeated so only 7 options left
<u>10</u> <u> 9 </u> <u> 8 </u> <u> 7
</u><u>
</u>Multiply the four numbers together: 10*9*8*7 = 5040 combinations
For the next two do the same process as the one above.
If digits can be repeated? You have ten options for every wheel so it would look like this: <u>10</u> <u>10</u> <u>10</u> <u>10
</u>
10*10*10*10 = 10,000 combinations
If successive digits bust be different?
We have 10 for the first wheel, but second wheel only has 9 options because 2nd number can't be same as first. The third and fourth wheels also has 9 options for the same reason.
<u>10</u> <u> 9</u><u> </u> <u> 9 </u> <u> 9 </u>
10*9*9*9 = 7290 combinations
Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
So:
P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
P (X = 3) = 0.147
The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%

Answer:
^algebra^
#1). a - b=4
a=4 + b .....(equation 1)
#2) a + b=12
(4 + b) + b= 12
4 + b + b=12
4 + 2b=12
2b= 12 - 4
2b =8
b= 8:2
b=4
subtituted b in equation 1
a= 4 + b
a= 4 + 4
a=8
so, the number is 8 and 4
The total cost would be $698.75 because 15×30.25=453.75 then add the 245 and boom you get your answer.
hope this helps
