He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.

Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.

To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.

To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.

Each package contained 12 pencils.

Hope this helps

A random draw is being designed for 210 participants. A single winner is to be chosen, and all the participants must have an equ

Over [174]

Answer: The correct number of balls is (b) 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a single winner is to be chosen in a random draw designed for 210 participants. Also, there is an equal probability of winning for each participant.

We are using 10 balls, numbered through 0 to 9. We are to find the number of balls which needs to be picked up, regardless of order, so that each of the 210 participants can be assigned a unique set of numbers.

Let 'r' represents the number of balls to be picked up.

Since we are choosing from 10 balls, so we must have

$^{10}C_r=210.$

The value of 'r' can be any one of 0, 1, 2, . . , 10.

Now,

if r = 1, then

$^{10}C_1=\dfrac{10!}{1!(10-1)!}=\dfrac{10!}{1!9!}=\dfrac{10\times 9!}{1\times 9!}=10$

If r = 2, then

$^{10}C_2=\dfrac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}=\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8!}{2\times 1\times 8!}=45$

If r = 3, then

$^{10}C_3=\dfrac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\dfrac{10!}{3!7!}=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{3\times 2\times 1\times 7!}=120$

If r = 4, then

$^{10}C_4=\dfrac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}=\dfrac{10!}{4!6!}=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times\times 7\times 6!}{4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 6!}=210.$

Therefore, we need to pick 4 balls so that each participant can be assigned a unique set of numbers.

Thus, (b) is the correct option.
