A class contains 8 mathmeticians, 7 scientists, and 2 artists. 3 students are picked from the class to take part in a school trip. Find the probability that none of them are scientists and find the probability that they are all in the same profession.

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60

Because the price would be 25% off the 25% off, which for example would be 25% off 20 dollars, which it would be 15 dollars. then, 20% off 15 dollars would be 11.25, and not 10.
