2010 AMC 10B Problems/Problem 18

Revision as of 00:07, 14 July 2011 by Yilun (talk | contribs)

First we factor $abc+bc+c$ into $a(b(c+1)+1)$. For $a(b(c+1)+1)$ to be divisable by three we can either have $a$ be a multiple of 3 or $b(c+1)+1$ be a multiple of three. Adding the probability of these two being divisable by 3 we get that the probability is $\frac{13}{27}$
