<u>Ashely have </u><u>56 ways</u><u> to choose from</u>

This question can be solved using a system in mathematics called Permutation and it's in a topic of mathematics called combinatorics.

<h3 /><h3>Permutation</h3>

This is the process of arranging a particular set of data in different ways.

Since Ashely is choosing 3 desserts out of 8 in no specific ways

P=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n = total number of ways available

r = total numbers that would be selected.

Data given

  • n = 8
  • r = 3

Let's substitute these values into the equation.

P=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!3!} \\P=\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{5*4*3*2*1*3*2*1}\\P=56

From the calculation above, Ashley have 56 ways in which can choose 3 dessert from an 8 choice.

A pair of $195 boots are discounted 40% If the boots are reduced in price by an additional 66 2/3% what will the discount price
UNO [17]
First, find the 40% discount.
40% of 195 is 78
195 x 0.40 = 78
Subtract that from 195
195 - 78 = 117
Now, find 66 2/3% of 117, since it is an additional reduction after the original discount.
2/3 = 0.667, so 66 2/3% is 66.667%
117 x 0.66667 = 78.00039
And subtract that from 117
117 - 78.00039 = 38.99961, which in dollars would be $38.99. (hundredths, etc. of a cent are usually just dropped; no rounding involved.)
The discount price would then be $38.99

how many ninths does it take to make the same amount as 1/3.Explain your answer in words and pictures
docker41 [41]
The answers is 3/9 which you can check by reducing.  It reduces to 1/3.  Basically you go 1/3 = x/9 then cross multiple to get 9=3x do the division so 3x/3 and 9/3 and you get 3/9.
