Answer:

562 child tickets were sold

217 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission

At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771

Let x represent the child ticket

Let y represent the adult ticket

x + y= 779..............equation 1

3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y = 779

x= 779 -y

Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2

3x + 5y= 2771

3(779-y) + 5y= 2771

2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771

2337 +2y= 2771

2y= 2771 -2337

2y = 434

y = 434/2

y = 217

Substitute 217 for y in equation 1

x + y= 779

x + 217= 779

x = 779-217

x= 562

Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold

Use the basic proportion = -to solve the following problem for the unknown quantity. Round your answer to the
Digiron [165]

Answer:

154.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to determine what percentage of 357 is 551.

Let us assume that x% of 357 is 551.

So, \frac{357 \times x}{100} = 551

⇒ \frac{x}{100} = \frac{551}{357}

⇒ x = \frac{551}{357} \times 100 ......... (1)

⇒ x = 154.34%

So, it is clear from the step (1) that when we take the basic ratio then multiply with 100, then we will get the percentage. (Answer)

How is the process of finding the surface area of a rectangular prism the same as finding the surface area of a triangular prism
harina [27]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a prism is given by the formula

SA=2B+PH

where

B is the area of the base

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

For both prism the formula is the same

How is it different?

Rectangular prism

The area of the base is given by the formula

A=LW -----> is the area of rectangle

where

L is the length and W is the width of rectangle

The perimeter of the base is given by

P=2(L+W) ---> is the perimeter of rectangle

The height H is the same in both cases

Triangular prism

The area of the base is given by the formula

A=\frac{1}{2} (b)(h) -----> is the area of the triangular base

where

b is the base of triangle and h is the height of triangle

The perimeter of the base is given by

P=(a+b+c) ---> is the perimeter of triangle

where

a, b and c are the length sides of triangle

The height H is the same in both cases
