$1.65
$14.85
$6.60
$13.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $33 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$33 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$165}{100} \) = $1.65 on the second shirt.

6
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)

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:

\( \frac{4!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)
