43. Can you place ten lumps of sugar in three empty cups so that there is an odd number of lumps in each cup?

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 10 lumps of sugar, and we want to divide them into 3 cups, in such a way that there is an odd number of lumps in each cup.

This only can happen if we have 3 odd numbers such that the addition is equal to 10.

Now 10 is an even number, remember that even numbers can be written as:

2*k

where k is an integer number.

And odd numbers can be written as:

2*n + 1

where n is an integer.

Then we have 3 odd numbers, let's call them:

(2*n + 1), (2*k + 1) and (2*p + 1).

Now let's add them:

(2*n + 1) + (2*k + 1) + (2*p + 1).

2*(n + k + p) + 1 + 1+ 1

2*(n + k + p) + 2 + 1 =

2*(n + k + p + 1) + 1.

Now, the number n + k + p + 1 is an integer number, let's call it X, then we have that the addition of the 3 odd numbers is:

2*X + 1

This is an odd number

So for any 3 odd numbers that we add together, the result will always be an odd number.

Then is impossible to add 3 odd numbers and get 10 as the result (Again, 10 is an even number).

Then is not possible to have an odd number of lumps in each cup.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
