Answer:
The merchant buys 30 shirts originally.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the merchant bought x numbers of shirts in $120.
So, the cost for each shirt is $
.
Now, if the cost for each shirt is reduced by 1$, then he would have bought 10 shirts more i.e. (x + 10) shirts in $120.
So, we can write the following equation as
⇒(120 - x)(x + 10) = 120x
⇒ 120x - 10x + 1200 - x² = 120x
⇒ x² +10x - 1200 = 0
⇒ x² + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0
⇒(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0
⇒ x = - 40 or x = 30
But x can not be negative.
Hence, the merchant buys 30 shirts originally. (Answer)
5/9, is what it should be
<span>You are given the word alabama and you are asked to find how many distinguishable 7 letter "words" can be formed from it.
ALABAMA has seven letters so we will start at 7!
Counting the number of A's in the word we have 4 A's and so we will divide it by 4!
</span>Counting the number of L's in the word we have 1 L and so we will divide it by 1!
Counting the number of B's in the word we have 1 B and so we will divide it by 1!
Counting the number of M's in the word we have 1 M and so we will divide it by 1!
And so the number of ways is 7! / (4! x 1! x 1! x 1!) = 210 words.
