STEP 1:
determine equations needed

x= # of $10 tickets
y= # of $14 tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
x + y= 800

COST EQUATION
$10x + $14y= $9,040


STEP 2:
multiply quantity equation by -14

-14(x + y)= -14(800)
-14x - 14y= -11,200


STEP 3:
add new quantity equation in step 2 to cost equation of step 1 to solve for x using elimination

-14x - 14y= -11,200
10x + 14y= 9040
y term cancels out

-4x= -2160
divide both sides by -4

x= 540 ten dollar tickets


STEP 4:
substitute x value in step 3 into either original equation

x + y= 800
540 + y= 800
subtract 540 from both sides

y= 260 fourteen dollar tickets


ANSWER: There were 540 $10 tickets and 260 $14 tickets sold.

Hope this helps! :)

How many blocks with dimensions of One-third times 1 times 1 can fit in a unit cube?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the small block is

\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1\times 1

The Volume of the cube having unit length is

V=1\times 1\times 1\\V=1\ unit^3

The number of blocks that can be in the unit cube is the division of the volume of the unit cube and block.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1\times 1\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{1}=3

The distribution of number of hours worked by volunteers last year at a large hospital is approximately normal with mean 80 and
wariber [46]

Answer:

E 0.923

Step-by-step explanation:

The Z score is a measurement used in statistics to determine the relationship between a value and a mean of a group of values measured as standard deviation from the mean. The z score (z) is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, Where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation and x is the value.

Given that:

σ = 7, μ = 80 and x = 90  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{90-80}{7} =1.43

From the normal distribution table, P(X < 90) = P(z < 1.43) = 0.923
