Answer:

<u>US$ 1,084.80 were raised from the raffle tickets and US$ 1,035 are the profits after paying the prizes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of raffle tickets sold = 1,356

Cost of each raffle ticket = US$ 4/5

Number of prizes = 6

Cost of each prize = US$ 8 3/10

2. How much money was raised from the raffle tickets?

For easier calculation, let's convert the fraction numbers to decimal numbers:

Cost of each raffle ticket = US$ 4/5 = US$ 0.80

Cost of each prize = US$ 8 3/10 = US$ 8 + 0.30 = US$ 8.30

Now, we use this formula to calculate how much money was raised and the profits:

Profits = (Number of tickets sold * Cost of each ticket) - (Number of prizes * Cost of each prize)

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Profits = 1,356 * 0.80 - 6 * 8.30

Profits = 1,084.80 - 49.80

Profits = 1,035

<u>US$ 1,084.80 were raised from the raffle tickets and US$ 1,035 are the profits after paying the prizes.</u>

6. A prism has bases that are equilateral triangles with sides lengths of 10 inches and a length of 30 inches.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is 1,299\ in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the prism is equal to

V=BL

where

B is the area of the triangular base

L is the length of the prism

we have

L=30\ in

<em>Find the area of the base B</em>

The area of a equilateral triangle is equal to

B=\frac{1}{2}(10)^{2} sin(60\°)

B=25\sqrt{3}\ in^{2}

substitute

V=(25\sqrt{3})(30)=1,299\ in^{3}
