Thanks for the help!

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the piecewise function:

And we want to find f(8).

Since our input value is 8, choose the equation that fits our input.

The first equation demand x to be less than 3. 8 is not less than 3, so we won't use that.

The second equation demand x to e greater than or equal to 3 and less than 8. 8 is not less than 8. So, we won't use that.

The third equation demands x to be greater than or equal to 8. 8 is greater than or equal to 8, so we'll use the third equation.

So:

There're nothing more to do, we're done :)

The answer is A.

Edit: Improved Format

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !
