There are 45 balloons: 15 are blue; 20 are green; 10 are red. 3 balloons are selected for the float. Leaving your answers in combinatorics format, how many ways can all 3 be selected such that they are the same color.

Required number of ways =  1715

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, there are 45 balloons: 15 are blue; 20 are green; 10 are red.

3 balloons are selected for the float.

Number of combinations to select r things out of n things :

So, the number of ways to select 3 ballons such that they are the same color = (Ways to select all blue ) x (Ways to select all green ) x (Ways to select all red)

Hence, Required number of ways =  1715
