Cindy is selling circus tickets. On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. Determine the cost of adult and child tickets. Used a to represent adult and c to represent child tickets. Write an equation to represent the sales of day 1 and day 2. Used the elimination method.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent adult tickets

Let c represent child tickets

On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 4

Multiply equation ii by 5

24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii

40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv

Subtract iii from iv

16a = 200

a = 200/16

a = 12.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

From equation ii,

8a + 4c = 130

8(12.50) + 4c = 130

100 + 4c = 130

4c = 130 - 100

4c = 30

c = 30/4

c = 7.50

Children tickets cost 7.50

Answer 2

Using the concept of elimination, the cost of adult and children tickets are $12.5 and $7.5 respectively

Let :

Number of adult tickets = a Number of children's tickets = c

Creating a system of equation thus :

6a + 5c = 112.50 - - - (1)

8a + 4c = 130 - - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 4 and (2) by 5

24a + 20c = 450 - - - - (3)

40a + 20c = 650 - - - - (4)

Subtract

-16a = - 200

Divide both sides by - 16

a = 12.5

From (2) :

8(12.5) + 4c = 130

100 + 4c = 130

4c = 130 - 100

4c = 30

c = 7.5

Hence, the cost of adult and children tickets are $12.5 and $7.5

Luke measured caterpillars for a science project. He believes that caterpillar A is longer than caterpillar B because it has more digits after the decimal point. Do you agree or disagree Luke's thinking. Explain your reasoning.

Caterpillar A=4.125 cm
Caterpillar B=4.03
Caterpillar C=4.23

Answers

Answer: disagree

Step-by-step explanation:

Caterpillar A is longer, but not because of the decimal places. It is longer because of the place value.

Answer:

Disagreed

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question you must remember that when dealing with finding the greater decimals you have to look at which have the greater place values in this case...

[tex]CA=4.125[/tex]

[tex]CB=4.03[/tex]

[tex]CC = 4.23[/tex]

Caterpillars 1 place value is already greater then caterpillar B's place value of 0, so it doesn't really matter how many more numbers to add after 1 and 0 because these two place values are already different 1 > 0

Meaning that "although Caterpillar A is greater then Caterpillar B, it is not because it has more digits simply because one is greater then zero." You can prove this by seeing that Caterpillar C is greater then Caterpillar A because two is greater then one.

[tex]4.125 > 4.03[/tex]

[tex]4.125 < 4.23[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey that asks readers to return the survey would result in voluntary-response bias

What is voluntary response bias?

When the response to a survey by a reader is not influenced by the author or the questioner of the survey the response sent by the reader is going to be a voluntary response.

In a voluntary response, the response is void of external influence therefore the reader gives his/her honest opinion without the external/Questioner's bias

Allowing your sample to self-select skews your data and prevents you from getting accurate results that are representative of your entire population, which is what is meant by voluntary response bias.

Hence we can conclude that a survey that asks readers to return the survey would result in voluntary response bias.

Fred walked 20 miles in 8 days. If he continues walking at this rate, how many miles will he walk in 4 weeks? Be sure to set up a proportion to help you solve.

Answers

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the constant rate divided 20 miles by 8 days.

20 ÷ 8 = 2.5

Then, we know that in one week there are seven days so we multiply 2.5 x 7

2.5 x 7 = 17.5

Lastly, multiply 17.5 times 4

17.5 x 4 = 70

How many different combinations of three selected students can Professor Rodgers create? number of combinations of three students: _________If Professor Rodgers decides he needs four students in the focus group, how many combinations can he create? number of combinations of four students: _____________

Answers

Answer:

(A) 165

(B) 330

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in the class = 11

(A) How many different combinations of 3 selected students can he create?

ⁿCₓ = n! ÷ [(n - x)! x!]

n = 11,  x = 3

11! / [8! 3!]  = 165

HINT:  8! or 8 factorial represents [8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1]

(B) How many different combinations of 4 selected students can he create?

ⁿCₓ = n! ÷ [(n - x)! x!]

n = 11,  x = 4

11! / [7! 4!]  = 330

Same hint applies here, for all numbers with the factorial sign.

Explanation:

Similarly, AD || BC leads to angle DBC = angle BDA. They are also alternate interior angles and they are marked in green in the diagram below.

So far we have two pairs of congruent angles.

The pair of congruent sides is BD = BD by the reflexive property. Any segment is congruent to itself.

So we can use ASA to prove the triangles congruent. Note the segment BD is between the angles mentioned.

when ------, you change a number to one that is less exact, so it is easier to work with.

A relation contains the points (negative2, 4), (negative1,1), (0,0), (1,1), and (2,4). Which statement accurately describes this relation?

Answers

Answer:

We have the points:

(-2,4), (-1, 1), (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 4)

First, we can see a symmetry around the point (0, 0), then this is an even function. Where an even function is a function f(x) such that:

f(x) = f(-x)

And in this case we have:

f(-2) = 4 = f(2)

f(-1) = 1 = f(1)

Now, we can also assume that this is a quadratic function (or it behaves like a quadratic function near the range [-2, 2]).

Such that:

f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x + c

Now let's use the known points to find our equation, we start with (0, 0)

f(0) = 0 = a*0^2 + b*0 + c

then c = 0.

f(x) = a*x^2 + b*x

Now let's use the points (1, 1) and (-1, 1)

f(1) = a*1^2 + b*1 = 1 = a*(-1)^2 + b*-1

       a + b = a - b

           +b = -b

           2*b = 0

Then we must have b = 0

f(x) = a*x^2

And now we can use the point (2, 4)

f(2) = 4 = a*2^2 = a*4

Then  a = 1.

Our function is f(x) = 1*x^2
