You can put this solution on YOUR website! 'x' says that the number of days before he dumps the books and mascot into a lake is epual to the number of possible 5 card hands in a standard deck of cards with 3 kings and 2aces.
---------------------
'x' says that the number of days before he dumps the books and mascot into a lake is epual to the number of possible 5 card hands in a standard deck of cards with 3 kings and 2aces.
# of ways to pick 3 kings: 4C3 = 4
# of ways to pick 2 aces: 4C2 = 4*3/1*2 = 6
---------------------
# of ways to pick 3 kings and 2 aces = 4*6 = 24
----------------------------
So the # of days "before he dumps the books and mascot
into a lake" is 24
