The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Number of entries in the trifecta race = 9

The win is to select the first finisher, second finisher and third finisher in their proper order.

We need to find the number of tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win

Step 2 :

Number of ways to select the first finisher = 9

Number of ways to select the second finisher = 8 [the first is selected and fixed. So the number of available finishes is reduced by 1]

Number of ways to select the third finisher = 7

Hence the total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win = 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Answer:

x = - \frac{14}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{4} (x + 5 \frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{5}{8}

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x + 5 \frac{1}{2} ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = \frac{-28}{6} = - \frac{14}{3}

Answer:

Tayler has 35 SHKITTLES IN ALL

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Tayler has 20 red Skittles, and the ratio of blue skittles to red skittles is 3 to 4, that means that Tayler has 3/4 as many blue skittles as she does red skittles. 3/4 of 20 is 15

20 + 15 = 35

Thus, Tayler has 35 skittles
