Answer:

<h2>0.035</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on probabilty since there are a number of entries to be selected from which are 85 entries, the chances of winning one of the prices if selected is

the number of entries you have/ total number of entries

given that the total entry is 85

and that you have one entry

Since there are three gift baskets you have three chances to win one.

hence there will be a total of three draws, and after each draw, there won't be a replacement of the previous winner (as the winners are three distinct persons).

Hence the probability of winning a draw for the gift basket is  

=1st draw+2nd draw+3rd draw

= 1/85+1/84+1/83

= 0.0117+0.0119+0.012

= 0.035

For a particular​ event, 771 tickets were sold for a total of ​$3037. If students paid ​$3 per ticket and non-students paid ​$5
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Number of student tickets were sold = 409

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold = 771

I.e Students ticket (S) + Non students ticket(N S)  = 771

Total amount to be paid for tickets = $ 3037

Amount paid by students per tickets = $3

Amount paid by non-students per tickets = $5

So, according to question

S + NS = 771

3 S + 5 NS = 3037

Solve both equations  

5 S + 5 NS = 771 × 5

3 S + 5 NS = 3037

so ,

(5 S + 5 NS) - (3 S + 5 NS ) = 3855 - 3037

Or, 2 S = 818

I.e S = \frac{818}{2} = 409

Hence, The number of student tickets were sold = 409      Answer

Divide 9y power 2 by 3<br><br>divide (8x power 2 +4x ) by 2x​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1=27

2=34

Step-by-step explanation:

1)9y power 2÷3

or, y=9 power 2÷3

or, y=9×9÷3

or, y=81÷3

or, y=27

2) (8x power 2+4x)÷2

=(8x×8+4x)÷2

=(64x+4x)÷2

=68x÷2

or, x=68÷2

or, x=34

7x-2y=16 11x+6y=32.3<br>how to solve this math problem​
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of equations are called simultaneous equations and the method we can use to solve these type of equations is either Substitution, Elimination and Graphing.

We use substitution here because it is easier.

Equation 1

7x-2y=16

Equation 2

11x+6y=32.3

Lets take equation 1

7x-2y=16\\7x=16+2y\\x=\frac{16+2y}{7}

This is our equation 3 , now put it inside equation 2.

11x+6y=32.3\\11(\frac{16+2y}{7} )+6y=32.3\\\frac{176+22y}{7} +6y=32.3\\\frac{176+22y+42y}{7}=32.3\\176+22y+42y=226.1 \\\\42y+22y=226.1-176\\64y=50.1\\y=\frac{50.1}{64} \\y=0.783\\

We found the value of y , now to find the value of x insert the value of y in equation 3

x=\frac{16+2y}{7}\\x=\frac{16+2(0.783)}{7} \\x=\frac{16+1.566}{7}\\x=\frac{17.566}{7}\\x=2.509

Solved ! See the attached image on both the straight line graphs i have attached for better understanding. Where both the lines intersect each other is our value of (x , y) respectively.
