Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 digits given: 1,2,3,5,8 and 9

But we are only taking three at a time.

= 6!/3!

= 6*5*4*3*2/3*2

= 6*5*4

= 120

The first and last digits can only be even if the number takes the one of the forms "2 _ 8" or "8 _ 2". The middle number can be any of the remaining four.

This means the probability of getting a number beginning and ending with an even digits is:

= 8/120

= 1/15

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !
