Question

Mikayla bought a bag of 84 pieces of candy and she wants to divide them up evenly and place into bags but doesn't won't more than 20 bags list the possible ways she can fill the bag

Answer 1

`1.0736 * 10^(19)` ways

Explanation:

Given that:

Mikayla bought a bag of 84 pieces of candy.

she wants to divide them evenly and place them into bag such that they are not more than 20 bags.

Therefore, the number of possible ways she can do that is ;

`^(84)C__(20)`

=
`(84!)/(20!(84-20)!)`

=
`(84!)/(20!(64)!)`

`= 1.0736 * 10^(19)` ways

The possible ways she can fill the bag =
`1.0736 * 10^(19)` ways
