You can work these in your head if you consider the revenue generated by the least contributor (children's tickets) and the difference in revenue between that and the larger contributor ($2.00 -1.50 = 0.50).

If all were children's tickets, the revenue would be 500*$1.50 = $750.00. The actual revenue exceeded that amount by $862.50 -750.00 = 112.50. This difference in revenue is made up by the sale of $112.50/$0.50 = 225 adult tickets. Then the number of children's tickets is 500 -225 = 275.

225 adult tickets were sold
275 children's tickets were sold.

_____
If you need an equation, you can write an equation using a variable for the number of adult tickets sold (the largest contributor).
.. (500 -a)*1.50 +a*2.00 = 862.50
.. 0.50a = (862.50 -750.00) . . . . . does this look familiar, yet?
.. a = 112.50/0.50 = 225

ANSWER:
d. x = 15, y= 15√3

EXPLANATION:
This is a special triangle, more specifically a 30-60-90 degree triangle. For sake of not confusing x and y, we will use z to use as our reference for solving this triangle. The side lengths for each angle are as follows:
• 60 degrees = z√3
- this is the value for your y answer
• 30 degrees = z
- this is the value for your x answer
• Hypotenuse = 2z
- this is what we already have

We solve for what we already have which is the Hypotenuse = 30:
2x = 30
x = 15

We now have our x value which is 15.
Now we just plug in that x value for every expression for every angle.

x = 15
y = 15√3

Sorry if I explained it too thoroughly but I’ll be glad to answer any questions or clarifications

a pizzeria sells a round pizza with the diameter of 24 inches. what is the area and what is the circumferance
Bond [772]
We have that
Area=pi*r²
D=24 in------------ > r=D/2=24/2=12 in

Area =pi*12²=452.16 in²

the circumference=2*pi*r=2*pi*12=75.36 in

the answer is
the area is 452.16 in² and the circumference is 75.36 in
