A company is considering two different prize policies for a sweepstakes. In Policy A, the cost to enter is $5. and the overall w

in rate is 10%. 90% of the winners receive a product worth $10. 9.5% of the winners receive a product worth $50, and 0.5% of the winners receive $250 in cash. In Policy B, the cost to enter is $10, and the overall win rate is 15%, 80% of the winners receive a product worth $10, 18% of the winners receive a product worth $50, and 2% of the winners receive $250 in cash.
The company predicts that Policy A will attract 10.000 entries, and Policy B will attract 5000 entries. Which policy makes the largest proſt for the company? By how much?
a. Policy A, by 1500
b. Policy A, by 4000
c. Policy B, by 1500
d. Policy B, by 4000

The policy that makes the largest proſit for the company is Policy A, by $1500.

<h3>Which policy makes the largest proſIt?</h3>

Profit is the amount paid by people to enter the sweepstakes less the amount they can win.

  • Policy A's profit: $5 - 0.1[(0.9 x $10) + (0.095 x $50) + (0.005 x $250)] = $5 - 1.5 = $3.5

$3.5 X 10,000 = $35,000

  • Policy B's profit:10 - 0.15[(0.8 x 10) + (0.18 x 50) + (0.02 x 250) = 10 - 3.30 = 6.7

$6.7 X 5000 = $33500

  • Difference in profits = $35,000 - 33500 = $1500

The height of a radio tower is 400 ​feet, and the ground on one side of the tower slopes upward at an angle of 10degrees. ​(a) H
Anettt [7]

Answer:

  (a)  412 ft

  (b)  276 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached diagram.

(a) The internal angle of triangle RBT at B is 90° -10° = 80°. Since we know lengths RB and BT, we can find the length RT using the law of cosines:

  RT² = RB² +BT² -2·RB·BT·cos(80°) = 190² +400² -2·190·400·cos(80°)

  RT² ≈ 169,705.477

  RT ≈ √169,705.477 ≈ 411.95

The guy wire to the hillside should be about 412 feet long.

__

(b) The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the shorter wire length.

  LM² = LB² +MB²

  LM = √(190² +200²) = √76,100

  LM ≈ 275.86

The guy wire to the flat side should be about 276 feet long.

A 115​-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is four times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.
Basile [38]

4x + x = 150, x=30 (shorter piece)

5x=150

x=150/5 = 30

4x=120

x=30

total = 150

I need help!!! Parallel lines p and q are cut by two non parallel lines m and n as shown in the figure the value of x is degrees
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = 78° , y = 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to x on the left side is corresponding to 102° , then

x = 180° - 102° = 78°

----------------------------------------

y and 115° are corresponding angles and congruent, then

y = 115°
