Answer: The cost for 20 people equals $180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: It costs $100 to rent the bowling alley, plus $4 per person.
The cost for any number (n) of people can be found using the expression
We can find the cost for 20 people by substituting n=20 in the above expression, we get
Hence, The cost for 20 people equals $180.
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
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).
