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

The answer is D. This is because when you take 10.65 and subtract 9.95 from it you get 0.07. If you take this number and continuously add to 9.95 you get the numbers provided in the chart. We'll also notice that the 0.07 is only added after 10 minutes of talking (10,20,30,etc.).

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

He should work 6\frac{2}{3} hours in overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours of regular time and y represents the number of hours of overtime,

Since, earnings are $24 per hour for regular time and $36 per hour for overtime,

Thus, total earning = (24x + 36y) dollars,

Here, x = 40 hours and total earning = $ 1200,

By substituting the values,

1200 = 24(40) + 36y

1200 = 960 + 36y

240 = 36y

⇒ y = 6\frac{2}{3}\text{ hours}

Hence, he should work 6\frac{2}{3} hours in overtime.
