Answer:

  325 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This "sum and difference" problem can be solved by assigning a single variable to the quantity you want to know. Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then (a-60) is the number of student tickets sold, and the total number sold is ...

  a +(a -60) = 590

  2a = 590 +60

  a = 650/2 = 325

There were 325 adult tickets sold.

__

<em>Check</em>

325-60 = 265 student tickets were sold, for a total of 325+265 = 590.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may have noticed that the larger number of tickets (number of adult tickets) was found to be the average of the two numbers given in the problem statement. That will generally be the case for a "sum and difference" problem.

RESUELVE EL SIGUINTE PORBLEMA En la escuela "Soy Feliz porque soy diverso", hay 230 estudiantes en total. De estos, 35 son mujer
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

1) a. 195 are males

b. Males are the 85 %

2) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of all the students: 230

35 are females

x are males

Then 35 + x = 230

x = 230 - 35 → 195

To determine the amount of males, from the total we apply the percent.

Percent = (Amount of males / Total of students) . 100

% = (195 / 230) . 100 = 85 %

2. In first place, Maria spent 13 for the book.

In second place, Maria spent 29 for the pencil box.

In total, she has spent 13+29 = 42

But, how many dolars have the grandpa gave to her?.

We can also apply percent and fractions, where:

(Book / Total) + (Pencil box/Total) + (What she did not spend/Total) = 1

13 + 29 + x = T

13/T + 29/T + x/T = 1, in conclussion x = 42

Total of money given = 84

Then, Maria has not spent the half of money→ 1/2

<h3>Answer:  choice 4. f(x) and g(x) have a common x-intercept</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

For me, it helps to graph everything on the same xy coordinate system. Start with the given graph and plot the points shown in the table. You'll get what you see in the diagram below.

The blue point C in that diagram is on the red parabola. This point is the x intercept as this is where both graphs cross the x axis. Therefore, they have a common x intercept.

------------

Side notes:

  • Choice 1 is not true due to choice 4 being true. We have f(x) = g(x) when x = 2, which is why f(x) > g(x) is not true for all x.
  • Choice 2 is not true. Point B is not on the parabola.
  • Choice 3 is not true. There is only one known intersection point between f(x) and g(x), and that is at the x intercept mentioned above. Of course there may be more intersections, but we don't have enough info to determine this.

Mike had 228 dollars to spend on 7 books. After
monitta

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of all of the books was 228 - 18 = 210 dollars because Mike had 18 dollars left over. Assuming that each book cost the same amount, we know that each book costs 210 / 7 = $30.
