Let
x =  the number of tickets sold at $27 each
y =  the number of tickets sold at $40 each

Because 5000 tickets were sold, therefore
x + y = 5000              (1)

Because the revenue generated was $158,400, therefore
27x + 40y = 158400      (2)

From (1),
y = 5000 - x          (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
27x + 40(5000 - x) = 158400
-13x + 200000 = 158400
-13x = -41600
x = 3200
y = 5000 - x = 5000 - 3200 = 1800

Answer:
3200 tickets at $27 each, and
1800 tickets at $40 each

The illegal values of b are when the denominator equals 0.

So, b^2-2b-8=0 gives you (b-4)(b+2)=0

Therefore, b=4 and b=-2, which is answer A.

Alja [10]

Answer:

The base of the ladder is 2.58 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The angle of elevation for a ladder from the ground is 75°.

The length of a ladder, H = 10 foot

We need to find the distance from the house should you place the base of the latter. Let the base of the ladder is b. Using trigonometry,

\cos\theta=\dfrac{B}{H}\\\\B=H\times \cos\theta\\\\B=10\times \cos(75)\\\\B=2.58\ m

So, the base of the ladder is 2.58 m.

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil

Computation:

Amount of butter need for 1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup

1 cup butter = 1/2 cup oil

So,

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 1 / [1/2]

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 1 / [0.5]

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 2 cup of butter
