A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $246.75 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $14, and t

ickets cost $33.25 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

<h3>Answer: 7</h3>

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

Explanation:

x = number of people

33.25x = cost of the tickets only, without parking

33.25x+14 = add on the cost of parking

33.25x+14 = 246.75

To solve this equation we'll do these two steps in the order mentioned

Subtract 14 from both sides. This is to undo the +14
Divide both sides by 33.25 to undo the multiplication.

The idea is we follow PEMDAS in reverse undoing everything so we can isolate x.

So,

33.25x+14 = 246.75

33.25x = 246.75-14 ............. step 1 mentioned earlier

33.25x = 232.75

x = 232.75/(33.25) ................ step 2 mentioned earlier

x = 7 is the final answer

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

Check:

7 people go to the amusement park

At $33.25 per person, that amounts to 7*33.25 = 232.75 dollars so far.

Then add the cost of parking to get 232.75+14 = 246.75 to match the total amount spent stated in the instructions. The answer has been confirmed.

Notes:

This assumes they all went in the same vehicle.
They'll need to bring more money if they want things like food, drinks, souvenirs, playing carnival games to win prizes, etc.

In a Pew Research Center poll of 745 randomly selected adults, 589 said that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.75$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p \ne 0.75$

b

$t = 2.51$

c

$p-value = 0.01207$

d

There no sufficient evidence to conclude that 75% of adults say that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 745$

The number that said it is morally wrong is $k = 589$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

The population proportion is $p = 0.75$

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\r p = \frac{k}{n}$

=> $\r p = \frac{589}{745}$

=> $\r p = 0.79$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.75$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p \ne 0.75$

The standard error is mathematically represented as

$SE = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$

=> $SE = \sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{745} }$

=> $SE =0.0159$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\r p - p }{SE}$

=> $t = \frac{0.79 - 0.75 }{0.0159}$

=> $t = 2.51$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 2.51)$

From the the z-table

$P(Z > 2.51) = 0.0060366$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.0060366$

=> $p-value = 0.01207$

From the calculation $p-value >\alpha$

Hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Thus there no sufficient evidence to conclude that 75% of adults say that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns

Tickets at a particular movie theater have different rates for adults and children. On Friday, the theater sold 4 adult tickets

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: The price for the adult tickets is $12 and the price for the child ticket is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price for the adult ticket be x

Let the price for the child ticket be y

According to question, On Friday ,

$4x+7y=83$

and on next day,

$5x+6y=90$

Now, we will use "Substitution Method" to solve the system of equations :

$5x+6y=90\\\\5x=90-6y\\\\x=\frac{90-6y}{5}$

so, we will put the value of x in the first equation i.e.

$4x+7y=83\\\\4(\frac{90-6y}{5})+7y=83\\\\360-24y+35y=83\times 5\\\\35y-24y=415-360\\\\11y=55\\\\y=\frac{55}{11}\\\\y=5$

Now, put the value of y in the equation that is given by

$x=\frac{90-6y}{5}\\\\x=\frac{90-6\times 5}{5}\\\\x=\frac{90-30}{5}\\\\x=\frac{60}{5}\\\\x=\$12$

Hence, the price for the adult tickets is $12 and the price for the child ticket is $5.
