At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.40 and adult admission is $8.70 . on friday, 159 tickets were sold for a total sales

of $1079.70 . how many adult tickets were sold that day?

Alright this is gonna be a long one

Lets called child tickets x and adult tickets y

so x + y should be equal to 159 since they said that the total sum of the tickets is 159
so thats your first equation : x + y = 159

next form an equation using the prices,
5.40x + 8.70y = 1079.70

now that you have your two equations, just substitute the first into the second (you could either substitute for x or y by saying x = 159-y or that y=159-x)

Hope this helps.

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us

Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

<u>Material 1</u>

$P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2$

$P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

<u>Material 2</u>

$P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2$

$P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

<u>Material 3</u>

$P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2$

$P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2$

$P(151) = 1131000$

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2$

$P(49) =-978000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using $P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

So, we have:

$P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2$

$P(45) = -1201750$

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2$

$P(30) = -200000$

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2$

$P(40) = -600000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

For A I somehow got 41.05 but its 2.95cm can someone show me the working and what I did wrong?

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). tan(75°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

= $\frac{11}{k}$

k = $\frac{11}{\text{tan}(75)}$

k = 2.947

k = 2.95 cm

b). cos(52°) = $\frac{16}{s}$

s = $\frac{16}{\text{cos}(52)}$

s = 25.988

s ≈ 25.99 cm

c). sin(5°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{16.1}{q}$

q = $\frac{16.1}{\text{sin}(5)}$

q = 184.727

q ≈ 184.73 cm

The number of E.coli bacteria cells in a pond of stagnant water can be represented by the function below, where A represents the

liq [111]

Answer:

<u>Option B. 59%</u>

Explanation:

The function that represents the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water as the time t years elapses is:

$A(t)=136(1.123)^{4t}$

The base, 1.123, represents the multiplicative constant rate of change of the function, so you just must substitute 1 for t in the power part of the function:

$rate=(1.123)^{4t}=(1.123)^4=1.590$

Then, the multiplicative rate of change is 1.590, which means that every year the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water increases by a factor of 1.590, and that is 1.59 - 1 = 0.590 or 59% increase.

For each equation give X a value and solve for Y, do this at least two times for each equation.

Plot those dots on a graph to draw two lines.

The solution is where the two lines cross.

You will see the lines cross at (-1,-2)
