The probability that the next person will be assigned an orchestra seats is 2/5.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

Here, Available Orchestra seats = 8

            Balcony seats = 12

      Total available seats = 12 + 8 = 20

  Probability = Favorable Outcome / Total Outcome

  Probability of getting orchestra ticket = 8/20

                                                                 = 2/5

Thus, the probability that the next person will be assigned an orchestra seats is 2/5.

Sati [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the price of 1 adult ticket.

Let c be the price of 1 child ticket.

given,

6a + 2c = 124

as equation 1,

and

3a + 5c = 100

as equation 2.

Now we will solve for a and c using elimination method of simultaneous equations.

Now we multiply equation 2 by 2 to eliminate a and solve for c.

3a \times 2 + 5c \times 2 = 100 \times 2 \\ 6a + 10c = 200

This new equation will be equation 3.

Now we will use equation 1 - equation 3 to eliminate a and solve for c.

(6a - 6a) + (2c - 10c) = 124 - 200 \\ 0 + ( - 8c) =  - 76 \\  - 8c =  - 76 \\ c =  - 76 \div  - 8 \\  = 9.5

Now substitute c into equation 2.

3a + 5(9.5) = 100 \\ 3a + 47.5 = 100 \\ 3a = 100 - 47.5 \\ 3a = 52.5 \\ a = 52.5 \div 3 \\  = 17.5

Therefore one adult ticket will cost $17.50 and one child ticket will cost $9.50.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

D) {11,-4,-29}

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite the equation as y= -5x+1 and plug in -2,1 and 6 to get y

-5*-2+1=11

-5*1+1=-4

One pound of grapes costs $1.55. Which equation correctly shows a pair of equivalent ratios that can be used to find the cost of
stira [4]

Answer:

StartFraction 1.55 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 3.5 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1.55}{1}  =  \frac{x}{3.5}  \\  \\  \therefore \: x = 1.55 \times 3.5 \\  \\ \therefore \: x = \$ 5.425 \\  \\\therefore \: x\approx  \$5.43

cho tứ giác ABCD. Gọi M,N,P,Q là trung điểm của các cạnh AB, CD, AD, BC. Chứng minh rằng vecto MP = vecto QN, vecto MQ = vecto P
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Xét tam giác DAB có: P là trung điểm AD, M là trung điểm AB

=> MP là đường trung bình của tam giác DAB => MP//BD và MP=\frac{1}{2}BD  (1)

Xét tam giác DBC có: N là trung điểm DC, Q là trung điểm BC

=> QN là đường trung bình của tam giác DBC => QN//BD và QN=\frac{1}{2}BD  (2)

Từ (1) và (2) => vecto MP song song cùng chiều với vecto QN

và độ dài MP = độ dài QN = \frac{1}{2}BD

=> vecto MP = vecto QN

Tương tự xét các tam giác DAC và tam giác ABC => vecto MQ = vecto PN
