Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
win
There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.
There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 = 12
There is 1 ace / suit
There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4
The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156
The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 = 12
Total gain = 168
Losses
Any other card costs you $5
How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36
Each one costs 5 dollars
Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180
So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.
Divide sales tax amount over the item's cost
23.1 / 330 = 0.07
Therefore the sales tax is 7%
Answer: 107
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a relationship between the sides of a rectangle, that is, the length of one of its sides is 5 less two times its width, and we are asked to find an expression for the area. Let's remember that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its side by its width. Let "w" be the length of the rectangle and "L" its lenght, then the area is given by the following formula:

We can use the relationship given in the problem, that is, its length being five less two times its width, that is:

Replacing in the formula for the area we get:

Now we use the distributive law:
