The price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

This year, Sophia paid $1,071 for season tickets to her favorite baseball team , which is 15% cheaper than last year

To find: Price of season ticket last year

Let the price of season ticket last year be "x"

Therefore, according to question

Price of ticket this year is 15 % cheaper than price of ticket last year

1071 = price of ticket last year - 15 % of 1071

1071 = x - 15 % of 1071

Solve the above expression for "x"

$1071 = x - 15 \% \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - \frac{15}{100} \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 0.15 \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 160.65\\\\x = 1071 + 160.65\\\\x = 1231.65$

Thus price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

Please help me I have been stuck on this question for ages

Finger [1]

Answer:28 green and 35 red

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

If there are r red counter and g green counter then

Probability of drawing a green counter is $P(g)=\frac{4}{9}$

and $P(g)=\frac{\text{No of g counter}}{\text{Total no of counter}}$

Thus $\frac{\text{No of g counter}}{\text{Total no of counter}}=\frac{4}{9}$

$\frac{g}{g+r}=\frac{4}{9}$

$\Rightarrow 9g=4g+4r$

$\Rightarrow 5g=4r\quad \ldots(i)$

Also if 4 red and 2 green counter is added the probability of drawing a green counter is

$P(g)=\frac{10}{23}=\frac{\text{No of g counter}}{\text{Total no of counter}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{23}=\frac{g+2}{g+2+r+4}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{23}=\frac{g+2}{g+r+6}$

$\Rightarrow 10g+10r+60=23g+46$

$\Rightarrow 10r+14=13g\ quad \ldots(ii)$

Substitute the value of g in equation (ii)[/tex]

$\Rightarrow 10\times \frac{5}{4}g+14=13g$

$\Rightarrow \frac{25}{2}g+14=13g$

$\Rightarrow g=28$

Therefore $r=35$

Thus there 28 green counter and 35 red counter

Please help! An archway will be constructed over a walkway. A piece of wood will need to be curved to match a parabola. Explain

Gwar [14]

draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry. The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix. The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is (x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k) the equation can be manipulated to y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k hope it helps

Answer:

14.13 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a ball (sphere) is:

V = ⁴/₃ π r³

Circumference of a ball (circle) is:

C = 2π r

Use the circumference to find the radius.

9.42 in = 2π r

r = 1.50 in

Use the radius to find the volume:

V = ⁴/₃ π (1.50 in)³

V = 14.13 in³
