Answer:

-$2.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Give that

The selling price per ticket is $9

And the number of tickets sold is 500

So,

There is one grand prize, three $300 second prize, and eleven $40 third prizes

We need to find out the expected value of the profit

= \frac{1}{500} \times 2000 +  \frac{3}{500} \times 300 + \frac{11}{500} \times 40\\\\

= 4 + 1.8 + 0.88

= 6.68

Now the expected profit is

= $6.68 - $9

= -$2.32

Crank
C= Colorado B= Boston
C + B = 464
C = 1.2B
Substitute the known value of C from the second equation into the first
C + B = 464
(1.2B) + B = 464
2.2B = 464
Divide each side by 2.2
B = 210.9, rounded to 211 (it's asking for days, not partial days, so round)
If Boston has 211 days of sunshine , then Colorado Springs has 1.2 times that amount. 211 * 1.2 = 253.2 (rounded to 253)
Verification
211 + 253 = 464

Explain how to tell if a number can. be divided by 10 evenly
maxonik [38]
Every number that has 0 as last digit and isn't decimal number, can be divided by 10 without remainder. It works for both positive or negative numbers. If last digit is different from 0, you will have remainder equal to that last digit. Even number 0 is divisible by 10 (the answer is 0 of course) because its last and only digit is 0.
