In a casino on a Saturday, 90% of the visitors lost $100 each, 9% of the visitors lost $1,000 each, and the rest won $10,000 eac

x = total amount of visitors


so we have 90% that lost $100, 9% that lost $1000, now 90+9 = 99%, what's left is just 1% then, so 1% won $10,000.

Profit is Revenue - Cost.

so the profit for the casino, is not who wins, because from the wins the casino needs to pay that to the winner, so they're losing that much, so for the casino, profits is when a player loses, so their profit will come from the 99% that lost money then.

keeping in mind that

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em} \begin{array}{llll} \stackrel{\textit{90\% of x}}{\left( \cfrac{90}{100} \right)x}\implies 0.9x\qquad \stackrel{\textit{9\% of x}}{\left( \cfrac{9}{100} \right)x}\implies 0.09x \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{1\% of x}}{\left( \cfrac{1}{100} \right)x}\implies 0.01x \end{array}


since we know that 90% lost $100, that means 0.9x(100) is the total amount lost by all of them, since we also know that 9% lost $1000, then 0.09x(1000) is the total amount lost by them, and the wins are of course just 0.01x(100000).


\bf \stackrel{\textit{90\% at \$100}}{0.9x(100)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{9\% at \$1000}}{0.09x(1000)}~~-~~\stackrel{\textit{1\% at \$10000}}{0.01x(10000)}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{casino's profit}}{80000} \\\\\\ 90x+90x-100x=80000\implies 80x=80000\\\\\\ x=\cfrac{80000}{80}\implies x=1000

luis has three more quarters than dimes in his pocket, for a total of $1.80. How many dimes (x) are in his pocket
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, Luis has 6 quarters, and 3 dimes. 6 - 3 = 3, and it works out to the following:

6 • 0.25 = 1.50

3 • 0.10 = 0.30

1.50 + 0.30 = 1.80

14. Find mMK please :)
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

11) strategy:  since they tell us. indirectly,  that the length of  JK is the same as LM then we can set those two equal, solve for X  and then.. when we have X we can figure out the lenght of JK  and LM and then just divide that by 2 go get PK  ( :0 Player Killer ???  no , not that PK)    

solve JK and LM

3x + 23 =9x-19

42 = 6x

7 = x

now that we know x = 7 plug it into either equation to come up with the length of JK or LM .  I'll pick JK just b/c it was 1st

3(7) + 23 = JK

21+23 = JK

44 = JK

now take half of 1/2*JK= 22  that is PK    ( are you sure that 's not player killer?)

PK = 22

12) strategy: set the two arcs BG and GC equal and solve for X, then plug x into either equation and the multiply the answer by 2 to find arc AB

9x-20 = 5x + 28

4x = 48

X = 12

9(12) -20 = BG

88 = BG

2*88 + AB

176 = AB

13) done

14)  strategy: find the angle at L,  and that will also be the arc of MK

<em>copy and past the below</em> helpful trig functions into your computer

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

<em>copy and past the above</em> :

use which ever trig function you want , we have all the sides of the triangle, I'll use CAH

Cos(Ф) = 9/15

Ф = arcCos(9/15)

Ф = 53.13010°

arc MK = 53.13010°

15)   strategy:  arc JK is just 2 times MK

2*MK = 106.26020°

arc MK = 106.26020°

16) find arc JPK   strategy:  JPK is just the remaining part of a full circle of 360 - MK  = 253.7397°

arc JPK = 253.7397°

Irene's account has $75 less than it did before on Monday. This is reasonable because she wrote checks for $200 but only deposit
hammer [34]

Alright, lets get started.

Given information :  Irene writes the check of 200 $ . It means the amount is deducted form here account.

Irene deposited 125 $ in her account. Means this amount is added in her account.

Suppose her initial amount in account was x $.

When she writes the check of 200 $, the amount is deducted so new balance is (x - 200) .

When she deposit amount 125 $, it means , the new balance of her account will be: x - 200 + 125 = x - 75

Which shows her account is 75 $ less than her previous balance.

Hope it will help :)
