The expected loss is $1.83. Step-by-step explanation: The average value for each ticket is calculated as... ($100 + 5($20)) / 1200 = $200 / 1200 ≈ $0.1667 ≈ $0.17. Since purchasing a ticket costs $2.00, your anticipated value becomes... -$2.00 + 0.17 = -$1.83, leading to a loss of $1.83.

Leona [12618]

Answer:

The Framers provides the more affordable price, being $1.35 less expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

I've Been Framed:

50% of $115 amounts to $57.5.

10% of $57.5 equals $5.75.

Subtracting gives $57.5 - $5.75 = $51.75.

Total: $51.75

The Framers:

30% off $120 results in $36.

After discount, $120 - $36 equals $84.

40% off $84 is $33.6.

Subtracting gives $84 - $33.6 = $50.4.

Price difference: $1.35

Chris buys 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures. The Ninja Turtles cost $7 each and the Star Wars cost $9 each. Wr
Svet_ta [12734]
Total Cost, C = $(16S + 56). Step-by-step explanation: Chris purchases 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures. The cost per Ninja Turtle is $7, while each Star Wars figure costs $9. If we let S represent the number of Star Wars figures bought, then the number of Ninja Turtles becomes S + 8. The cost for S Star Wars figures is $9S. Similarly, for (S + 8) Ninja Turtles, the total cost is $(7S + 56). Therefore, the overall Total Cost is represented by the sum of the costs for both types of figures, leading to the Total Cost being expressed as C = 9S + (7S + 56).

Inessa [12570]
Jerome's share of the total profit amounts to one-third. To determine the overall profit of the company, multiply his profit by 3.
If he earned $150,000, the calculation would be:
150,000 × 3 = $450,000

So, the total profit is $450,000.

The dot simply represents multiplication.

Find the annual rate of growth (interest rate) on an account that was worth $200 in 1975 and $415.79 in 1990
tester [12383]
To find the percent change over time, use the following formula: PR = Percent Rate, VPresent = Present or Future Value, VPast = Past or Present Value. The annual percentage growth rate is calculated by dividing the percent growth by N, which is the number of years. The calculation (415.79 - 200) / 200 * 100 results in 107.89. The annual percentage growth rate is then 107.89 divided by 15, which equals 7.193.
