Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ticket is $15.  The number of tickets is what we are trying to solve for.  The class spends a certain amount of money to prepare for the formal.  They hope that the money they make in ticket sales is MORE than what they spend.  The expression that represents the number of tickets at $15 each is 15x, where x is the number of tickets.  They hope that the sales are greater than what they spend, so what we have so far is

15x >

Greater than what, though?  What do they spend?  They spend 600 for the food, so

15x > 600...

but they also have to print a certain, unknown number of tickets at .50 each.  The expression that represents the printing of each ticket is .5x (we can drop the 0; it doesn't change the answer or make it wrong if we drop it off).  So the cost for this affair is the food + the printing.

15x > 600 + .5x

Solve this inequality for x.  Begin by subtracting .5 from both sides to get

14.5x > 600 so

x > 41.3

Because we are not selling (or printing) .3 of a ticket, it's safe to say (and also correct!) that they need to sell (and print) 41 tickets.  If they sell 41 tickets, the profit is found by

15(41) > 600 + .5(41)

615 > 600

This means that at 41 tickets, they make a profit.  At 40 tickets, the inequality looks like this:

15(40) > 600 + .5(40) and

600 > 620.  This is not true, so 40 tickets isn't enough.

Select the correct answer. A triangle with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to yield a triangle with vertice
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

* The scale factor of the dilation is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about dilation

- A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.

- It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the

 figure does not change.

- The scale factor, measures how much larger or smaller

 the image will be

- If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger

- If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller

* In the problem

- The vertices of the triangle is A (0 , 0) , B (0 , 4) , C (6 , 0)

  and its image A' is (0 , 0) , (0 , 10) , (15 , 0)

∵ 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5

∵ 15 ÷ 6 = 2.5

∴ The scale factor is 2.5

∵ 2.5 > 1

∴ The image of the triangle will be larger

* The scale factor is 2.5
