Dawn Swift discovered that twenty years ago, the average tuition for one year at an Ivy League school was $4,500. Today, the average cost is $29,000. What is the growth rate in tuition cost over this 20-year period

9.76%

Explanation:

The cost today of $29,000 is the future value of the cost 20 years ago with the growth rate in question. It can therefore be solved by the future value formula;

29,000 = 4,500 * ( 1 + r/100)²⁰

( 1 + r/100)²⁰ = 29,000/4,500

1 + r/100 = ²⁰√29,000/4,500

1 + r/100 = 1.0976

r = 9.76%

sorry idk it

explanation:

there's 11 people for the 1st position. then, no matter who gets it, there's only 10 left for the second, and then 9 left for the third. 11 x 10 x 9 = 990.   the answer is there are 990 different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants
