337 were senior citizens.

What is the system of equations?

A system of equations, also known as an equation system or a set of simultaneous equations, is a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought.

Here, we

Let

x = the number of adult tickets sold

y = the number of senior tickets sold

483 people paid admission => a total of 483 tickets were sold and

x + y = 483

the total receipts were $7548

24x + 12y = 7548

by solving the system of equations

x + y = 483....(1)

24x + 12y = 7548....(2)

From equation (1), we get

x = 483-y....(3)

Now, we put the value of x in equation (2) and we get

24(483 - y) +12y = 7548

11592 - 24y + 12y = 7548

12y = 4044

y = 337

Now, we put the value of y in equation (1) and we get

x = 483 - 337

x = 146

Hence, 337 were senior citizens.

Which is the most economic way to lessen electric consumption?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

1) c. Use only appliances to do the most important task in the house.

2) b. 112kwh

3) b. 111kwh

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work and it's measured in Joules. The various forms of energy are solar energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, etc.

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Energy consumption is the total amount of power used by an electronic device per unit time and it's measured in Watt-hour or Kilowatt-hour.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Energy = power * time

Generally, the most economic way to lessen electric consumption is by ensuring only the important electrical appliances are used at all times.

2. Given the following data;

Previous reading = 2156 KWh

Present reading = 2268 KWh

To find how many kilowatt-hour was consumed;

Energy consumption = present reading - previous reading

Energy consumption = 2268 - 2156

<em>Energy consumption = 112 KWh</em>

3. Given the following data;

Previous reading = 5512 KWh

Present reading = 5623 KWh

To find the electrical consumption of Falogme Family;

Electrical consumption = present reading - previous reading

Electrical consumption = 5623 - 5512

<em>Electrical consumption = 111 KWh</em>
