Answer 1

There are 2,704,156 ways to lay off 12 employees from the real estate company with 14 employees in their central office, 8 in their north office, and 6 in their south office.

Step-by-step explanation:

The real estate company has a total of 14+8+6 = 28 employees in their central, north, and south offices respectively.

To lay off 12 employees from these offices, we can use combinations.

The number of ways to select 12 employees out of 28 is given by the formula: C(28, 12) = 28! / (12! * (28-12)!)

Simplifying, we get:

C(28, 12) = 2704156 ways

Therefore, there are 2704156 ways to lay off 12 employees from the real estate company.
