Equation : c = (2.80 / 7) + 0.75
Normal price of each cookie:
c = (2.80 / 7) + 0.75
c = 0.4 + 0.75
c = $1.15
B=number of ticets sold before
a=number of tickets sold after
cost of a ticket=number of tickets times cost per ticket
beforecost=39.95b
aftercost=54.95a
total cost=925000
39.95b+54.95a=925000
total number tickets=20000
b+a=20000
we have
39.95b+54.95a=925000
b+a=20000
multiply second equation by -39.95 and add to first equatin
39.95b+54.95a=925000
<u>-39.95b-39.95a=-799000 +</u>
0b+15a=126000
15a=126000
divide bot sides by 15
a=8400
sub back
b+a=20000
b+8400=20000
minus 8400 both sides
b=11600
11,600 tickets sold before
8400 tickets sold after
The independent would be the base amount (0.25 in this case) The dependent would be :
the sum of the minutes x 0.25 or the entire phone bill
In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.
For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is
a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9
Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° = 11/sinB
B = 80.4°
9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°
The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4
