The local theater has three types of seats for broadway plays: main floor, balcony, and mezzanine. main floor tickets are $⁢59,

balcony tickets are $⁢50, and mezzanine tickets are $⁢40. one particular night, sales totaled $73,785. there were 435 more main floor tickets sold than balcony and mezzanine tickets combined. the number of balcony tickets sold is 78 more than 33 times the number of mezzanine tickets sold. how many of each type of ticket were sold?

In this problem, you have three unknowns: broadway tickets for the (1) main floor, (2) balcony and (3) mezzanine. To solve algebraic equations, the total number of unknowns must be the same with the number of independent equations. With that, let's formulate these three equations.

Let the 3 unknowns be

x = number of tickets for the main floor
y = number of tickets for the balcony
z = number of tickets for the mezzanine

The independent equations are:

59x+50y+40z=73,785 --> eq 1
x = y+z+435 --> eq 2
y = 78 + 33 z ---> eq 3

Solve the equations simultaneously. Substitute eq3 to eq 2

x = 78+33z+z+435
x = 513+34z --> eq 4

Substitute eq 4 and eq 3 to eq 1

59(513+34z)+50( 78 + 33 z)+40z=73,785 

Solve for z using the calculator: z = 11
Use eq 4 to find x: x = 877
Use eq 2 to find y: y = 432

There were 877 main floor tickets, 432 balcony tickets and 11 mezzanine tickets sold.

Answer:

The probability of one or more catastrophes in:

(1) Two mission is 0.0166.

(2) Five mission is 0.0410.

(3) Ten mission is 0.0803.

(4) Fifty mission is 0.3419.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of catastrophes in the missions.

The probability of a catastrophe in a mission is, P (X) = p=\frac{1}{120}.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X </em>is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}\frac{1}{120}^{x}(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-x};\x=0,1,2,3...

In this case we need to compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in <em>n</em> missions.

Then the value of P (X ≥ 1) is:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

             =1-{n\choose 0}\frac{1}{120}^{0}(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-0}\\=1-(1\times1\times(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-0})\\=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-0}

(1)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 2 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{2-0}=1-0.9834=0.0166

(2)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 5 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{5-0}=1-0.9590=0.0410

(3)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 10 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{10-0}=1-0.9197=0.0803

(4)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 50 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{50-0}=1-0.6581=0.3419

What situation could be modeled with the equation 40/8=5?
Nata [24]

Explanation:

Any situation in which 40 items are divided into 8 or 5 divisions will be modeled by an equation of this sort. A couple of possibilities are ...

  1. "There are 40 in all, and 8 in each group. How many groups are there?"
  2. "There are 40 in all, divided into 8 groups. How many are in each group?"

__

The "items" could be any sort of units of measure: beads, people, tickets, feet, yards, square miles, cubic millimeters, stars in the sky, whatever. The idea is that grouping by 8 or 5 gives you 5 or 8 groups, respectively.
