Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, 1000 ticket were sold for \$1 and the owner who receives tickets which are  randomly chosen that wins \$50.

Net\  profit = 1000\times 1-1\timesv 50 = \$950\\\\Net \ profit \ for\  ticket = \frac{\$950}{1000} = \$0.95

The probability in which each ticket owners win = 0.001

therefore the ticket owner net profit = = -1+0.001\times 50 = -0.95\\\\

A angles of an equilateral triangle are congruent. If x represents the measure of the third angle of the triangle, what is x?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is the measure of the third angle and all 3 angles are congruent then

All 3 angles have a measure of x

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, this

x + x + x = 180 ← is the required equation

3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 60
