Answer:
5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many miles it is from the train station to the museum we first have to subtract the tip from the total fair and you get 13.50 and then you divide 13.50 by 2.70 to get the number of miles and you get 5.
To work out the profit, firstly, you have to work out the cost of buying them, which is $15 multiplied by 100, which is $1500. You then have to work out what he sold them all at, which is $29.99 multiplied by 100, which is $2999. You then have to subtract $1500 from $2999, giving you $1499. Therefore, Ace made $1499 in profit.
Hope this helps :)
You can draw a diagram of the situation, representing it by a right triuangle.
In the right triangle the hypotenuse is the distance indicated by the radio signal, 1503 m, and the angle is 41°.
The opposed leg to 41° is the height of the ballon.
Then you can use the sine trigonometric function.
sine (41°) = opposed leg / hypotenuse = x / 1503 m => x = 1503m * sine(41°)
=> x = 986m.
Answer: 986m
