Hm...I don't believe that works. The answer choices are 820, 960, 1210, 1480, and 1528. Thank you a lot for trying, though--

Oh, I see! Thank you for helping me :D

How did you find x - y = 15? 

Oh, thank you for the help!

a) There are 13 spades in a deck = 13/52

There are 2 blue counters out of a total of 5 counters = 2/5

Multiply the two and you would get the answer of 26/260, which is 1/10 if you simplify it. 

b) There are 26 red cards in a deck = 26/52

There is 1 red counter out of 5 = 1/5

Multiply: 26/260 or 1/10

c) There are 12 face cards in a deck = 12/52

There are 3 nonwhite counters out of 5 = 3/5

Multiply: 36/260 or 9/65

Oh, I see--we'd use the complementary counting method. Thanks! :)
