Answer:

Different point total are possible = 497

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Four darts are thrown at this dartboard. Dartboard regions are  

             1, 4, 7, 10 points

To find - If all four darts hit the board, how many different point totals are

              possible.

Proof -

Are given there are 4 regions -

1st region - 1 point

2nd region - 4 points

3rd region - 7 points

4th region - 10 points

Case I :

If all the darts hit the different region -

Total points possible are - 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 22 points

Case II :

If all the darts hit the same region -

It means either they hit 1 region or 2nd region or 3rd region or 4th region

If they all 4 hit first region , points are - 1+1+1+1 = 4

If they all 4 hit second region , points are - 4+4+4+4= 16

If they all 4 hit third region , points are - 7+7+7+7 = 28

If they all 4 hit fourth region , points are - 10+10+10+10 = 40

So,

the Total points possible are - 4 + 16 + 28 + 40 = 88

Case III :

If 3 darts hit the same region -

Sub-case 1 :

If 1 dart hit 1st region, other 3 dart hit 2nd region

Points are - 1 + 4 + 4+ 4 = 13

Sub-case 2 :

If 1 dart hit 1st region , other 3 dart hit 3rd region

Points are - 1 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 22

Sub-case 3 :

If 1 dart hit 1st region , other 3 dart hit 4th region

Points are - 1 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 31

Sub-case 4 :

If 1 dart hit 2nd region , other 3 dart hit 1st region

Points are - 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

Sub-case 5 :

If 1 dart hit 2nd region , other 3 dart hit 3rd region

Points are - 4 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 25

Sub-case 6 :

If 1 dart hit 2nd region , other 3 dart hit 4th region

Points are - 4 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 34

Sub-case 7 :

If 1 dart hit 3rd region , other 3 dart hit 1st region

Points are - 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 10

Sub-case 8 :

If 1 dart hit 3rd region , other 3 dart hit 2nd region

Points are - 7 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 19

Sub-case 9 :

If 1 dart hit 3rd region , other 3 dart hit 4th region

Points are - 7 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 37

Sub-case 10 :

If 1 dart hit 4th region , other 3 dart hit 1st region

Points are - 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13

Sub-case 11 :

If 1 dart hit 4th region , other 3 dart hit 2nd region

Points are - 10 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 22

Sub-case 12 :

If 1 dart hit 4th region , other 3 dart hit 3rd region

Points are - 10 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 31

So,

Total points possible are - 13+22+21+7+25+34+10+19+37+13+22+31 = 254

Case IV :

If 2 darts hit the same region -

Sub-case 1:

If 2 darts hits 1st region , other 2 darts hit 2nd region

Points are - 1 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 10

Sub-case 2:

If 2 darts hits 1st region , other 2 darts hit 3rd region

Points are - 1 + 1 + 7 + 7 = 16

Sub-case 3:

If 2 darts hits 1st region , other 2 darts hit 4th region

Points are - 1 + 1 + 10 + 10 = 23

Sub-case 4:

If 2 darts hits 2nd region , other 2 darts hit 3rd region

Points are - 4 + 4 + 7 + 7 = 22

Sub-case 5:

If 2 darts hits 2nd region , other 2 darts hit 4th region

Points are - 4 + 4 + 10 + 10 = 28

Sub-case 6:

If 2 darts hits 3rd region , other 2 darts hit 4th region

Points are - 7 + 7 + 10 + 10 = 34

So,

Total points possible are - 10 + 16 + 23 + 22 + 28 + 34 = 133

Case V :

If 1 darts hit the same region -

This case is include in the Case III.

∴ we get

Different point total are possible = Points in Case I +  II +  III +  IV

                                                       = 22 + 88 + 254 + 133

                                                       = 497

⇒Different point total are possible = 497

1. A school store sells pencils and erasers before school opens each day. On Monday, 13 pencils and
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

price of pencil is 0.74 and eraser is 0.72$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, "p" represent pencils

and "e" represents erasers.

hence, according to question

13p+10e=16.75 ________(1)

and 25p+2e=19.85________(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 5,

hence, 125p+10e=99.25________(3)

Substracting equation (3) and (1)

125p+10e-(13p+10e)=99.25-16.75

hence, 112p=82.5

p=0.74

substituting the value in equation (1),

13(0.74)+10e=16.75

9.57+10e=16.75

on solving,

e=0.72

hence, price of one pencil is 0.75$, and price of one eraser is $0.72
