\( \frac{1}{4} \)
5
\( \frac{1}{7} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $44, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$33.00
$50.60
$77.00
$11.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $44 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$44 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1100}{100} \) = $11.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$44.00 + ($44.00 - $11.00)
$44.00 + $33.00
$77.00
