So, I assume that you mean 26 students times the teachers. 
You can create two equations out of this information.
s = students while t = teachers
26t = s
900 - 9 = 891 seats being occupied
s + t = 891
You can use these two equations for substitution.
s = 891 - t
26t = 891 - t
27t = 891
t = 31
So, 31 teachers. Now plug that back into an original equation.
s + (31) = 891
s = 860
860 students.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

<u>188 children</u> and <u>145 adults</u> were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

<u><em>Let the number of children admitted be </em></u>x.<u><em /></u>

<u><em>And the the number of adults admitted be </em></u>y.<u><em /></u>

So, the total people enter the park:

x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\

Substituting the value of x from equation (1):

1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.

<u><em>Thus, the number of adults = 145.</em></u>

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of y in equation (1) we get:

x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.

<u><em>Hence, the number of children = 188.</em></u>

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

The set of order pairs (-1, 8), (0,3) (1,2) and (2, -7) represent a function. What is the range of the function?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Answer: The range is the set {8, 3, 2, -7} which can be sorted to get {-7, 2, 3, 8}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The range is simply the set of possible y values. All you have to do is list all the y coordinates and surround the values in curly braces. The curly braces indicate a set. Every point is of the form (x,y). The y coordinate is the second value listed of each ordered pair.
