To calculate the profit, you should first determine total revenue by multiplying the ticket price (Rs. 150) by the number of attendees (520). Next, calculate total costs by adding the fixed cost of the show (Rs. 2000) with the variable costs (Rs. 30 per attendee multiplied by 520 attendees). Subtract total costs from total revenue to find the profit: (520 * 150) - (2000 + 30 * 520) = Rs. 60,400 .

To calculate X raised to the power of N, use the exponentiation function. For X = 1.3 and N = 5, apply the formula X^N = X * X * X * ... * X (N times). Thus, 1.3^5 = 1.3 * 1.3 * 1.3 * 1.3 * 1.3, which equals approximately 4.435 .

Apply the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)). For the expression 12 + 4/2*7 - 11 + 9, start with division and multiplication: 4/2 = 2, then 2*7 = 14. Finally, perform addition and subtraction from left to right, resulting in 12 + 14 - 11 + 9 = 24 .

The surface area of an annular disk is found by subtracting the area of the inner disk from the area of the outer disk using the formula pi * (outer^2 - inner^2). For an outer radius of 7 and inner radius of 5, the calculation is: pi * (7^2 - 5^2) = pi * (49 - 25) = pi * 24, resulting in approximately 75.36 square units .

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula pi * radius^2 * height. Given a radius of 3.2 and height of 10.1, the volume is pi * (3.2)^2 * 10.1, which is approximately 325.65 cubic units .

The area of a disk is calculated using the formula pi * radius^2. For a radius of 5.4, the calculation is: 3.14 * (5.4)^2, resulting in approximately 91.56 square units .

The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is calculated as b^2 - 4ac. For 3x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0, a = 3, b = -2, and c = 1. The discriminant is (-2)^2 - 4*3*1 = 4 - 12 = -8. A negative discriminant indicates that the equation has two complex (non-real) roots .

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder without the bases is: 2 * pi * radius * height. Using the given values (radius = 3.2, height = 10.1), the calculation is: 2 * pi * 3.2 * 10.1, resulting in approximately 203.89 .

To determine the height in centimeters, first convert feet to inches (5 feet = 60 inches) and add the additional inches (10), making a total of 70 inches. Since 1 inch equals 2.54 cm, multiply 70 by 2.54 to get the height in centimeters: 70 * 2.54 = 177.8 cm .

To calculate the total minutes from years and days, first convert years to minutes: multiply the number of years by 365 days/year, then by 24 hours/day, then by 60 minutes/hour. Do the same for the days: multiply the number of days by 24 hours/day and then by 60 minutes/hour. Finally, sum both results to get the total number of minutes .
