Answer: There were 7 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use <em>x </em>to represent the children and <em>y </em>to represent the adults.

We know they combine to make a group of 25 people so x+y=25

We also know that they paid $201 and that there is $3 per child and $10 for adults so 3x+10y=201

I will solve by substitution.

Solve for y in the first equation

x+y=25\\x-x+y=25-x\\y=25-x

Sub in our value for y into the other equation and solve for x

3x+10y=201\\3x+10(25-x)=201

Step 1) Simplify

3x+250-10x=201\\-7x+250=201

Step 2) Subtract 250 from both sides

-7x+250-250=201-250\\-7x=-49

Step 3) Divide both sides by -7

\frac{-7x}{-7} =\frac{-49}{-7}\\x=7

Answer:

7 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = children

Let a = adults

1) We can set up two equations and solve them simultaneously using substitution or elimination method.

c + a = 25

3c + 10a = 201

2) I will use substitution. Make one of the variables the subject; then, substitute it into the other equation.

a = 25 - c

3c + 10(25 - c) = 201

3) Solve for c; then, substitute it into one of the equations.

3c + 250 - 10c = 201

-7c = 201 - 250

-7c = -49

c = -49/-7

c = 7

Let's substitute it into one of the equations.

7 + a = 25

a = 25 - 7

a = 18

Since the question only asked for the number of children, the answer is 7.

17/50

Step-by-step explanation:

P(red or purple) = number of red or purple / total

There are 7 red rings and 10 purple rings

                          = (7+10) / 50

                          = 17/50

How can 8 students share a pizza cut into 12 slices without cutting any of the slices?
Triss [41]
Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.

12/8=1 and 1/2

So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...

We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...

Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!

I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.

I hope I helped! :)
