Lenny was out on the town with his daddy and they entered a toy store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would like to buy twelve marbles, daddy,\u201d said Lenny loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOk, my boy, let\u2019s ask the man,\u201d said daddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have lots of marbles, sonny,\u201d said the shopkeeper, smiling down at\nthe young boy, \u201cand they come in five different colors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s really wonderful, mister. Do you know how many bags with different\ncombinations of twelve marbles with these five colors you could sell?\u201d asked\nLenny, cocking his head with an impish look on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo idea, sonny, but if you tell me you can have your marble order for\nfree,\u201d smiled the shopkeeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lenny told the shopkeeper, who believed him, and Lenny happily skipped\nout of the store with daddy, holding three bags of marbles in his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many different bags of\nmarbles would you say the shopkeeper could arrange for sale?<\/em><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
