Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations possible are 56

At a particular restaurant, each mini hotdog has 80 calories and each pizza roll has 50 calories. A combination meal with mini h

cestrela7 [59]

There are 15 mini hotdogs and 5 mini pizza rolls in the combination meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Calories in each hotdog = 80 calories

Calories in each mini pizza = 50 calories

Combined meal = 20

Combined calories = 1450 calories

Let,

x represent the number of hot dogs.

y represent the number of mini pizzas.

According to given statement;

x+y=20 Eqn 1

80x+50y=1450 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 80

$80(x+y=20)\\80x+80y=1600\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

$(80x+80y)-(80x+50y)=1600-1450\\80x+80y-80x-50y=150\\30y=150$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30y}{30}=\frac{150}{30}\\y=5$

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

$x+5=20\\x=20-5\\x=15$

There are 15 mini hotdogs and 5 mini pizza rolls in the combination meal.
