Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
When the selection has to be made without considering the order of selection, combinations are used.
The formula for combination is:
Here
Total candies = n = 13
Candies to be selected = r = 5
Putting the values in the formula

15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Plug in numbers in for x.
If you plug in 0 then you get 1. 1/0 is undefined
If you plug in 1 then you get 6. 6/1 is 6
If you plug in 2 then you get 11. 11/2 is 5.5
If you plug in 3 then you get 16. 16/3 is 5.3 repeating
If you plug in 4 then you get 21. 21/4 is 5.25
If you plug in 5 then you get 26. 26/5 is 5.2
It would only be proportional if you got the same answer after dividing each time.
