Using the combination formula, it is found that 2,220,075 committees can be formed.

The order in which the people are chosen is not important, hence, the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>Combination formula: </h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this problem, 8 people are chosen from a set of 12 + 15 = 27, hence:

C_{27,8} = \frac{27!}{8!19!} = 2220075

2,220,075 committees can be formed.

y=\frac{-1}{4} x+3\\

Step-by-step explanation:

(y-5)=\frac{-1}{4} (x--8)\\(y-5)=\frac{-1}{4} (x+8)\\y=\frac{-1}{4} x-\frac{8}{4}+5 \\y=\frac{-1}{4} x-2+5\\y=\frac{-1}{4} x+3\\

Joel earns a commission of 5% on the audio equipment he sells , and the store keeps the rest . He sells a $750 amplifier. A. How
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Joel earns $35.00 commission and the store keeps $715.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to figure 5% of what he sold - or 5% of $750.

Of course, you can use a calculator, or multiply $750 by .05. I prefer to think of 10 percent ($75.00) and half that to get 5%. $35.00.

Joel earns $35.00 on the sale. Not bad!

If he gets to keep $35, deduct this from the price to find out how much the store will keep.

$750 - $35 - $715.
