Respuesta :

Answer: The total amount played on the slot machines is $100416.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of amount payback on slot machines = 95.2%

Percentage of amount retained by the casino = 100 - 95.2 =4.8%

Amount retained by the casino = $4820

Let the total amount played on the slot machines be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

[tex]\dfrac{4.8}{100}\times x=\$4820\\\\0.048x=\$4820\\\\x=\dfrac{4820}{0.048}\\\\x=\$100416.67[/tex]

Hence, the total amount played on the slot machines is $100416.67.
