Answer:

-> a + c = 1250 ____________ (1)

-> 8a + 5c = 7300 __________(2)

There were 900 children and 350 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children at the carnival be c.

Let the number of adults at the carnival be a.

The admission fee at a carnival is $5 for children and $8 for adults on Friday.

1250 people attended the carnival and $7300 was collected. This means two things:

-> a + c = 1250 ____________ (1)

-> 8a + 5c = 7300 __________(2)

We now have a system of equations representing the problem.

To solve, make a subject of formula in (1):

a = 1250 - c _______(3)

Put (3) in (2):

8(1250 - c) + 5c = 7300

10000 - 8c + 5c = 7300

10000 - 7300 = 3c

3c = 2700

c = 2700 / 3 = 900

Put the value of c back in (3):

a = 1250 - 900 = 350

Therefore, there were 900 children and 350 adults at the carnival.

A theatre has seats arranged in rows of 24, 382 people attend a show at the theatre. What is the smallest number of rows that is
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A minimum of 16 rows are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of rows minimum that could seat 382 people in rows of 24 seats.

Mathematically, what we need to do here is to make a division.

We shall divide the number of people by the number of seats in a row so that we can get the number of rows needed.

Mathematically, that would be; 382/24 = 15 22/24

We are looking at a minimum number.

So we can see that 15 rows will be filled, with an extra 22 seats in the next row leaving only 2 seats in the next row unoccupied.

So we can see that the minimum number of rows required is 16 rows
