Answer:

$4.52 /ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 type of ticket here:

721 pcs of no reward tricker  

12 pcs of $20 reward  

1 pcs of $116 reward

Total reward that need to be by the shelter will be: 721*0$ + 12* $20 + 1*$116= $356

Total number of ticket that the shelter sell will be 721 +12 +1= 734 tickets  

The shelter sell 734 tickets at 5$ per ticket so their total earnings will be: 734* 5$= 3670$

The total revenue will be 3670$ -$356= $3314

If there are 734 tickets sold, then revenue per ticket=  $3314 /732=  $4.52 /ticket

If a sports car is traveling at 95 miles per hour, how long would it take the sports car to overtake a family car traveling at 3
levacccp [35]
Distance = speed * time
d = st

The sports car travels d distance for t time at speed, s, 95 mph until it overtakes the family
car.
The equation for the sports car is
d = 95t

The family car travels the same distance, d, but since it left 4.5 hours earlier  than the sports car, it travels for t + 4.5 time until it is overtaken. It travels at speed, 35 mph.
The equation for the family car is
d = 35(t + 4.5)

We solve the two equations as a system of equations.

d = 95t
d = 35(t + 4.5)

Since d = d, set the right sides of the equations above equal to each other.

95t = 35(t + 4.5)

95t = 35t + 157.5

60t = 157.5

t = 2.625

The answer is 2.625 hours, or 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds.

Check:
In 2.625 hours, the sports car travels: 95 mph * 2.625 h = 249.375 miles
The family car traveled 2.625 hours plus the extra 4.5 hours, or 7.125 hours.
In 7.125 hours, the family car travels 35 mph * 7.125 h = 249.375 miles.
The cars have traveled the same distance 2.625 hours after the sports car left, so our answer is correct.

Evaluate [16 ÷ (2 + 3 • 2)] + [4 • (36 – 25)]
maw [93]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an open + in the middle. It does not have any brackets around it. Therefore you do it at the very last.

Left side of the plus sign.

[16 ÷ (2 + 3*2)] Do the multiplication inside the parenthesis ( 2*3) first.

= [16 ÷ (2 + 6)] Add inside the parenthesis.

= [16 ÷ 8 ]         Do the division

= 2

Right side of the open plus sign

[4 * (36 - 25)]   Do the subtraction first.

[4 * 11 ]             Do the multiplication

44

Now combine both right and left side.

2 + 44

46

The answer is 46.
