The basketball game sold
adult tickets and
student tickets.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The basketball game sold 439  adult tickets and  858 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations of the first degree, in which two or more unknowns are related.

Solving a system of equations consists of finding the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are satisfied. That is, in the systems of equations, one must look for the values ​​of the unknowns, with which when replacing, they must give the solution proposed in both equations.

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $3,047  was collected on the sale of 1,291 tickets.

With "x" the number of adult tickets sold and "y" the number of student tickets sold, you have the following system of equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{x+y=1291} \atop {5*x+1*y=3047}} \right.[/tex]

Through the substitution method, you must solve for one of the unknowns in one of the equations and substitute its value in the following one: in this case you solve for the variable y from the first equation:

y=1291 -x

and you replace in the second equation:

5*x + 1291 - x= 3047

Solving, you get:

5*x-x= 3047 - 1291

4*x= 1756

x= 1756÷4

x=439

Replacing this value in the expresion y=1291 -x you get:

y=1291 -439

y= 858

The basketball game sold 439  adult tickets and  858 student tickets.

Answers

Answer:60°

Step-by-step explanation: First, think about the rule of the degrees for all triangles. Angles must equal 180°.

Second, because all angles must equal 180°, see that the triangle given has equal sides (assuming this, because no other measurements are given).

Equilateral triangles have equal angles, meaning 60° for each angle.

Step 3: Find Slope

Substitute in x:                                                                                                [tex]\displaystyle f'(4) = 14(4) + 7[/tex]Multiply:                                                                                                           [tex]\displaystyle f'(4) = 56 + 7[/tex]Add:                                                                                                                  [tex]\displaystyle f'(4) = 63[/tex]

This means that the slope of the tangent line at x = 4 is equal to 63.

Un elev a depus la banca suma de 250 lei. Știind ca banca oferă dobânda anuala de 1%,iar stația impozitează dobânda cu 16%,aflati ce suma va avea elevul după un an de depunere.

Answers

Răspuns:

292,50

Explicație pas cu pas:

Dobânda totală% = (1% + 16%) = 17% = 17/100 = 0,17

Suma principală depusă, P = 250

Suma totală, A după 1 an poate fi calculată astfel:

A = P (1 + rt)

Unde ; r = rata dobânzii; t = timp

A = 250 (1 + (0,17 * 1))

A = 250 (1,17)

A = 292,5

Four friends shopped at the Sale Depot for movies. Robby went on Monday and bought three movies for $15.36. Paula went on Wednesday and bought five movies for $27.40. Trey went on Thursday and bought four movies for $20.08. Madison went on Friday and bought six movies for $31.44.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't say what you want to get but I'm guessing that you want to know who had the cheapest deal or the best deal.

Robby went on Monday and bought three movies for $15.36. The cost per movie will be:

= $15.36/3

= $5.12

Paula went on Wednesday and bought five movies for $27.40. The cost per movie will be:

= $27.40/5

= $5.48

Trey went on Thursday and bought four movies for $20.08. The cost per movie will be:

= $20.08/4

= $5.02

Madison went on Friday and bought six movies for $31.44. The cost per movie will be:

= $31.44/6

= $5.24

We can see that Trey had the best deal.

The aquarium opened at 8.00 am . In the first hour 140 people purchased admission tickets . In the second hour 25 % more people purchased admission tickets than the first hour . Each ticket cost 15.25 . What was the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours please help

Answers

Answer:

Total income= $4,083.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total number of people that enter the aquarium in the first two hours.

1st hour= 140

2nd hour= 140*1.25= 175

Total number of people= 315

Now, we can determine the total amount of money earned:

Each ticket cost 15.25.

Total income= 315*15.25

Total income= $4,083.75

Dana has to pay 30% tax on any income above £30,000 per year.
Dana is paid £45,000 annually.
Calculate the amount of money she receives after tax each month.

Answers

£45,000 x 0.3 = £13,500
£13,500 divided by 12 months = £1125
Dana’s tax £1,125
£45,000 divided by 12 months = £3750
Dana’s Income money each month is £3750
£3750 - £1125 = £2625
Dana’s makes £2625 after paying her tax

The rectangle is 16 inches by 25 inches. If the scale is 4 in :5 ft what is the length and width of the rectangle in feet.

Answers

Answer:

The length and width of the rectangle are 20 feet and 31.25 feet, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the scale be [tex]4\,in\,:\,5\,ft[/tex] and the dimensions of the rectangle being 4 inches and 5 inches, respectively. The scale ([tex]r[/tex]), measured in inches per feet, is equivalent to the following rational number:

[tex]r = \frac{4\,in}{5\,ft}[/tex]

We can convert each length by dividing it by scale factor. That is:

Length

[tex]l' = \frac{16\,in}{\frac{4\,in}{5\,ft} }[/tex]

[tex]l' = 20\,ft[/tex]

Width

[tex]w' = \frac{25\,in}{\frac{4\,in}{5\,ft} }[/tex]

[tex]w' = 31.25\,ft[/tex]

The length and width of the rectangle are 20 feet and 31.25 feet, respectively.

Part B: You have $0.80 in your backpack in dimes and quarters. Let x represent the number of dimes and y represent the number of quarters. If you have 2 quarters in your backpack, how many dimes do you have?
______


Answers

Part A: 0.10x + 0.25 = 0.80 (dimes are 10 cents or 0.10 dollars, quarters are 0.25 dollars)
Part B: Plug in what you DO know and solve the one you DON’T:
0.10x + 0.25(2) = 0.80
0.10x + 0.50 = 0.80. Subtract 0.50 from both sides:
0.10x = 0.30 (Divide both sides by 0.10)
x = 3
Therefore you have 3 dimes
