Explanation:
We view the ramp as a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 4.2 and the vertical side .7, which is opposite the angle
θ
we seek.

I'm going to finish the problem but I'll note if we were actually building the ramp we don't need to know the angle; this sine is sufficient.

which I think is a pretty steep ramp for a wheelchair.
There will be another inverse sine that is the supplementary angle, around

, but we can rule that out as a value for a ramp wedge angle.

"Interpret the rate of change and the y-intercept.
"
Rate of change is 5. Each ticket costs 5$.
Y-intercept is (0,-17). They spent $17 on supplies before they sold tickets.

A salesperson receives 3%
1165 divided by 255 = 5.17 = 5 costumes
