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

Roman buys seed packets for the school garden. One packet of radish seeds costs $1.75. One packet of tomato seeds costs $2.50. L

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

C. $t=23,r=9$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the cost of one packet of radish seeds and let t represent the cost of one packet of tomato seeds.

Roman spent $62.75

This implies that,

$1.75r+2.5t=62.75...eqn1$

Roman bought 32 packets of seeds and one packet of radish seeds costs
$ 1.75.
One packet of tomato seeds costs $ 2.50.

This implies that,

$r+t=32...eqn2$

Using guess and check means we substitute into the given equation.

A) We substitute $t=8,r=24$ into both equations.

$1.75(8)+2.5(24)=62.75...eqn1$

$14+60\ne 62.75...eqn1$

$8+24=32...eqn2$

Both equations are not satisfied.

B)

We substitute $t=9,r=23$ into both equations.

$1.75(9)+2.5(23)=62.75...eqn1$

$15.75+57.5\ne 62.75...eqn1$

$9+23=32...eqn2$

Both equations are not satisfied.

C)

We substitute $t=23,r=9$ into both equations.

$1.75(23)+2.5(9)=62.75...eqn1$

$40.25+22.5 =62.75...eqn1$

$23+9=32...eqn2$

Both equations are satisfied.

Hence the solution is,

$t=23,r=9$

D) We substitute $t=24,r=8$ into both equations.

$1.75(24)+2.5(8)=62.75...eqn1$

$42+20\ne 62.75...eqn1$

$24+8=32...eqn2$

Both equations are not satisfied.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

I think so.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do the math 2(5-3) exponent 2 - 4 = 4

So if y is 4 you should be correct!

Thb I think you need to know the value of y to solve this question.

10. If 1000 cm = 1 l, find the capacity of the following water tank in litre

Lelu [443]

<h2>Given :</h2>

length = 200 cm

breadth = 150 cm

height = 100 cm

<h2>Solution : </h2>

$\large \boxed{volume = l \times b \times h}$

$200 \times 150 \times 100$

$3000000 \: \: cm {}^{3}$

Through the statement above we have,

$\small\mathrm{1000 \: cm³ = 1 \: \: }l$

$\small\mathrm{1 \: cm {}^{3} = \dfrac{1}{1000} \: }l$

$\small\mathrm{3000000 \: cm {}^{3} = 3000000 \times \dfrac{1}{1000} \: }l$

$\small\mathrm{3000000 \: cm {}^{3} = 3000000 \times \dfrac{1}{1000} \: }l$

$\small\mathrm{ 3000 \: \: litres}$
