one sec ill post a pic of the thingy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here it is :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The dartboard or the discounts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dart board that ones next ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, a probability question. You have 4 darts and 3 possible values. It's a combination since the order of the darts doesn't matter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the values are 1,5,9 5,9,1 and 9,1,5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, sorry, it's a permutation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula for a permutation is n! over (n-r)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n is 4, r is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know factorial notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factorial is multiplying a number, then multiplying by one less, and it continues down to 1. So 4! is 4*3*2*1, and 1! is 1. 4*3*2*1 also happens to be your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does the * mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks buddy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

While it's open, might as well solve the other one too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Imagine you start at 100 dollars. What's 10 percent off of that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 100-10 is 90. What is 20 percent of 90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. 90-18 is 72. So 100-72 is your total discount.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or 28%, to be exact.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks
