The City Zoo has different admission prices for children and adults. When three adults and two children went to the zoo, the pri

ce was $81.22. If two adults and three children got in for $77.18, then what is the price of an adult's ticket and what is the price of a child's ticket?

Let the price of a children's ticket be x and the price of an adult's ticket be y. We can form a system of equations to solve this problem.


2x + 3y = 81.22

3x + 2y = 77.18


Lets use elimination to solve the system. First, lets multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 so the x terms will cancel out.


6x + 9y = 243.66

6x + 4y = 154.36


We can then subtract the equations to cancel out the x variable.


6x + 9y = 243.66

-(6x + 4y = 154.36)

(6x-6x) + (9y - 4y) = (243.66 - 154.36)

0 + 5y = 89.30


Finally, we can find the value of y.


5y = 89.30

y = 17.86


Lastly, we can plug in the value of y and solve for x to find the value of the child's ticket.


2x + 3(17.86) = 81.22

2x + 53.58 = 81.22

2x = 27.64

x = 13.82


Therefore, the child ticket costs $13.82 and the adult ticket costs $17.86.

Part 1.] Identify the following series as arithmetic, geometric, both, or neither. Includes picture
Arte-miy333 [17]
<span>These are five questions and five answers.

Part 1.] Identify the following series as arithmetic, geometric, both, or neither. Includes picture

Answer: arithmetic

Justification:

The arithmetic series are those in which the distance (difference) between any consecutive terms is constant, so you can find the term An adding the difference to the previous term, A(n-1).

In this case the series is:

∞
∑ (3 + na) =>
n=1

Term1: 3 + a
Term2: 3 + 2a
Term3: 3 + 3a
Term3: 3 + 4a

As you see, the difference between two consecutive terms is a, which shows that it is an arithmetic series.


Part 2.] Evaluate C(3, 3)
A.] 1
B.] 6
C.] 24<span>

Answer: option A) 1.

Explanation:

The formula for combinations is Cm,n = m! / [n! (m - n)! ]

So, for C3,3, C3,3 = 3! / [3! 0!] = 3! / 3! = 1.

From this you might learn that Cm,m for any m is always 1.

Part 3.] Evaluate C(6,3)
A.] 20
B.] 120
C.] 720

Answer: option A) 20

Explanation:

Use the same formula, Cm,n = m! / [n! (m - n)! ]

C6,3 = 6! / [3! 3! ] = 6*5*4 / (3*2*1) = 5*4 = 20

Part 4.] </span>How many subsets of four elements each exist in a set of seven elements?
A.] 4!
B.] C(7, 4)
C.] P(7, 4) 

Answer: option B) C(7,4)

Explanation

You have to select collections of 4 elements from a set of 7 elements, and must realize that the order is irrelevant, i.e. it is the same the set ABCD as the set ACBD or DCAB or any combination of those four elements. So, the answer is a combination and not a permutation.

The number of subsets of 4 elements that you can form with 7 elements is: C(7,4), which is the option B.

Part 5.] What is the probability of having 3 children that are all boys?
A.] 1/2
B.] 1/8
C.] 3/8

Answer: option B: 1/8

Explanation:

The number of possible outcomes is 2 * 2 *  2 = 8

Only one of those outcomes is for all boys = 1

Therefore the probability is 1/8

You can see that representing the possible outcomes using B for boys and G for girls:

1) BBB (three boys)
2) BBG

3) BGB
4) BGG

5) GBB
6) GBG

7) GGB
8) GGG

Those are the 8 possible outcomes and as seen only one is for 3 boys.

£399 is shared between Ann, Bill, Chloe and Dave.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Ann=£38

Bill=£171

Chloe=£95

Dave=£95

Step-by-step explanation:

By the information provided we can create an equation:

2x+9x+2*5x=399\\11x+10x=399\\21x=399\\x=19

Now that we know x, we multiply it correspondingly.

For Ann -> 2*19=38

Bill -> 9*19= 171

Chloe and Dave have the exact same amount each (because they both have 2.5 times the amount Ann's money)

Chloe/ Dave -> 5*19=95 each.

-4+(-2)=<br> Adding negative numbers
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 + (-2)

recall that;

- * - = +

- * + = -

+ * - = -

+ * + = +

So when we expand we'll have

-4 ( + * -) *2

-4 - 2 = -6
