Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

let the terms be a,ar,ar²

r=2/3

a+a(2/3)+a(2/3)²=171

multiply by 9

9a+6a+4a=171×9

19 a=171×9

a=(171×9)/(19)

a=9×9=81

S_n=\dfrac{b_1(q^n-1)}{q-1} \\q=\dfrac{2}{3} , b_1=x, n=3, S_n=171

Let's find b₁

171=\dfrac{x((\dfrac{2}{3})^3-1) }{\dfrac{2}{3}-1 } \\\\\\171=x*(-\dfrac{19}{27} )*(-3) \\171=\dfrac{19}{9} x\\x=171*\dfrac{9}{19} \\x=81

Answer: b₁=81

Mofor’s school is selling tickets to the annual dance competition. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 7 adult tick
zhannawk [14.2K]

The price of one adult ticket is $ 11 and the price of one student ticket is $ 11

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , Mofor’s school is selling tickets to the annual dance competition.  

Let the cost of one adult ticket be $m and the cost of one student tickets be $n.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 7 adult tickets and 6 tickets for a total of $143.  

\text { Then, } 7 \times \text { cost of one adult ticket }+6 \times \text { cost of one student ticket }=\$ 143

7m + 6n = 143 ------- eqn (1)

The school took in $187 on the second day by selling 4 adult tickets and 13 student tickets.  

\text { Then, } 4 \times \text { cost of one adult ticket}+13 \times \text { cost of one student ticket}=\$ 187

4m + 13n = 187  ------ eqn (2)

We have to find the price of an adult ticket and the price of a student ticket.

Now, let us solve the equations.

Multiply eqn 1 by 4

28m + 24n = 572  ----- eqn 3

Multiply eqn 2 by 7

28m + 91n = 1309  ---- eqn 4

Now subtract eqn 4 from eqn 3

28m + 24n = 572

28m + 91n = 1309

(- )--------------------------------------

– 67n = - 737

67n = 737

n = 11

Plug in n = 11 in eqn 1

7m + 66 = 143

7m = 143 – 66

m = 11

Hence, the cost of one adult ticket is $ 11 and cost of one student ticket is $11
