What strategy would be the best to solve this problem?

A theater charges $8 for an adult ticket, and $6 for a children's ticket. On a certain day, a total of 255 tickets were sold for a total cost of $1,850. How many more children's tickets were sold than adult tickets?
A. guess, check and revise
B. use a formula
C. work backwards
D. look for a pattern

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

By making an equation where x = number of adult tickets and y = number of children tickets, we can get 2 equations:
8x + 6y = 1850
x + y = 255
then we solve the equation to get each of the amounts

If there is a base of 9 and a area of 12 how do you explain how to find the height.

Answers

Answer:

height = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation

I'm assuming that this is a question to a triangle. So since an area of a triangle is 12 you solve by the formula 1/2(base)(height). You would solve for height so your equation would look smth like this: 12 = 1/2(base)(height). So you would end up with 24/8 which would simplify to 8/3.

Answers

the answer is letter c

Answer:

20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

It is right on plato/edmentum

You just take 75,000-50,000=25,000 and then since it is dividend paid you will subtract the 5,000 from 25,000 and then you will get 20,000.

So 20,000 is your answer. :)

can someone solve -192= -6 (6x - 4) step by step?

Answers

Answer:

x= 4 2/3 OR 14/3 OR 4.6... –– 4 2/3 and 4.6... are the simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your original equation is -192 = -6 (6x - 4):

1. -192 = -6 (6x - 4)

Use distributive property and multiply: -6 x 6x = -36x and -6 x -4 = 24:

2. -192 = -36x + 24

We now move the +24 onto the other side of the equation, -192. Add 24 onto -192 and since we're moving the 24 on the left side of the equation, 24 will removed, so -24 on the right side of the equation:

3. -192 + 24 = -36x + 24 - 24

Divide both sides of the equations by -36 to get "x" by itself:

4. -168 / -36 = -36x / -36

Simplify the fraction of 24/36 by 12:

5. 4 24/36 = 4 2/3 or 14/3 or 4.6... = x

4 2/3, 14/3, 4.6... = x

A hotel rewards club wants to randomly select 100 of its 5,000 members to participate in a survey. The club wants to determine if people’s opinions differ based on age. There are 2,200 members between the ages of 25 and 50, and there are 2,800 who are age 51 or older. The club decides to randomly select 44 members between the ages of 25 and 50, and 56 members ages 51 and older. Is the sample of 100 members a simple random sample? Yes, because the hotel rewards members were randomly selected for the sample. Yes, because each hotel rewards member has the same chance of being selected. No, because the sample of 100 is too small a sample to represent the population. No, because each sample of 100 does not have the same chance of being selected.

Answers

Answer:

No, because each sample of 100 does not have the same chance of being selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple random samples require that every possible sample of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Because of the fact that certain ages are being picked at certain amounts, not every possible sample has the same chance of being selected, so this is not an SRS.

this is a geometry question I know the answers are 81 and 9 because of the back of the book but I don't understand how it got to that point ​

Answers

Answer:

18°

Step-by-step explanation:

let the angle be x , then its complement is 90 - x

we are told the angle is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of its complement , then

x = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (90 - x) ← multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction

4x = 90 - x ( add x to both sides )

5x = 90 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 18

then the angle is 18° and its complement is 90° - 18° = 72°

Answer:

The angles measure 18° and 72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

81 and 9 is not correct for this problem.

9 is not 1/4 of 81, so 9 and 81 cannot be the answer, although it is true that angles measuring 9° and 81° are complementary since 9 + 81 = 90.

You need to know what complementary angles are.

Definition:

Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.

Each angle is said to be the complement of the other angle.

You have two complementary angles, both of whose measures are unknown.

Call the smaller measure x and the larger measure y.

Since the angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90°.

x + y = 90

The measure of one angle is 1/4 the measure of the other angle.

If the smaller angle's measure is 1/4 of the larger angle's measure, then the larger angle's measure is 4 times the smaller angle's measure.

That means that y = 4x.

You have two equations and two unknowns:

x + y = 90

y = 4x

This is a system of equations. We will solve it using the substitution method.

Since y = 4x, where you see y in the first equation, substitute it with 4x

x + y = 90

x + 4x = 90

5x = 90

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 18   <---- smaller angle

y = 4x = 4(18) = 72   <----- larger angle

Answer: The angles measure 18° and 72°.

Check: Do the measures 18 and 72 add to 90?

18 + 72 = 90    Yes.

Is the measure of the smaller angle 1/4 the measure of the larger angle?

18/72 = 9/36 = 1/4    Yes.

18 and 72 is the correct answer.

Based on the measurements shown on triangle ABC, AB must be?

Answers

Answer: B. 7 and 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is to look at the triangle’s angles. One of them is missing right? So you need to find that missing angle. All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore you need to add 68 and 47. Your total must be subtracted by 180.

Your problem will look like this

68+47=115

180-115=65

Your missing angle is 65The angle correspond to the sides. You need to look at the opposite of the angle to figure out the number of the side.

For example Angle A opposite = 7

Angle B opposite is 10

notice that Angle B degree is 68 which is the largest degree. And Angle A degree is 47 which is the smallest degree.

The largest degree will always be equal to the largest side

The smallest degree will equal to the smallest side
