If you're multiplying by 10, you're moving the decimal point to the right, the same with any multiplication in the 10's, so 100, 1,000, etc. This is because you are making the number 10 times larger, so if you had 3.4, the 4 is in the 1/10 column so multiplying by 10 would put it in the units column, making the number 34.

On the other hand, dividing by the 10's makes the decimal point move to the left because you are making the number 10 times smaller, so if the units column is worth 1, then 10 times less than that is 1/10, which is the first decimal place.

I hope this helps! I tried to explain it well but let me know if you still don't understand or if I've confused you in any way :)

Answer:

<em>" Expected Payoff " ⇒ $ 1.56 ; Type in 1.56</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the steps below;

Tickets That Can Be Entered - 1 Ticket,\\Total Tickets Entered - 1000 Tickets,\\\\Proportion - 1 / 1000,\\Money One ( First Ticket ) = 820 Dollars,\\Money One ( Second Ticket ) = 740 Dollars,\\\\Proportionality ( First ) - 1 / 1000 = x / 820,\\Proportionality ( Second ) - 1 / 1000 = x / 740\\\\1 / 1000 = x / 820,\\1000 * x = 820,\\x = 820 / 1000,\\x = 0.82,\\\\1 / 1000 = x / 740,\\1000 * x = 740,\\x = 740 / 1000,\\x = 0.74\\\\Conclusion ; " Expected Payoff " = 0.82 + 0.74 = 1.56

<em>Solution; " Expected Payoff " ⇒ $ 1.56</em>
