Clearly, |S| = 50.

Count the multiples of 2 between 1 and 50:

⌊50/2⌋ = ⌊25⌋ = 25

(where ⌊x⌋ denotes the "floor of x", or the largest integer that is smaller than or equal to x; in other words, round <u>down</u> to the nearest integer)

Count the multiples of 3 between 1 and 50:

⌊50/3⌋ ≈ ⌊16.667⌋ = 16

Since LCM(2, 3) = 6, the sets of multiples of 2 and multiples of 3 have some overlap. Count the multiples of 6 between 1 and 50:

⌊50/6⌋ ≈ ⌊8.333⌋ = 8

Then by the inclusion/exclusion principle, we remove from S

25 + 16 - 8 = 33

elements, so that the new set S contains 50 - 33 = 17 elements.

Mary has a pink dress, a blue dress, and a yellow dress. She has a black pair of shoes and a white pair. How many dress and shoe
Yanka [14]
There are two ways to solve this. 
The first way is logically. 
Mary can 
-wear a pink dress with black shoes   -wear a pink dress with white shoes
-wear a blue dress with black shoes   -wear a blue dress with white shoes
-wear a yellow dress with black shoes   - wear a yellow dress with white shoes

Count them up, and you'll get six combinations! 

Another way is simply mathematically, which is easier in my opinion. 

3 (different colored dresses) × 2 (different colored shoes) = 6 (combos)
