Starting amount: 982 pounds of grain

Since Mr. Parker fed 240 pounds of grain to his pigs, subtract 240 pounds from 982 pounds of grain.

982 - 240 = 742

After feeding pigs: 742 pounds of grain

Mr. Parker fed another 460 pounds of grain to his cows from his 742 pounds, so subtract 460 pounds from 742 pounds.

742 - 460 = 282

After feeding pigs and cows: 282 pounds of grain

Mr. Parker has 282 pounds of grain left.

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.30 and adult admission is $9.70. On Wednesday, 156 tickets were sold for a total sal

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

$\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1$

Now, according to question;

Total money = $Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee$

$\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2$

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

$97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3$

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

$(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57$

Since x is the number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.

P1=(0,0)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=0
P2=(3,-2)=(x2,y2)→x2=3, y2=-2

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-2-0)/(3-0)
m=(-2)/3
m=-2/3

Point-slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0=(-2/3)(x-0)
y=-(2/3)x

Answer: The equation of the line is: y=-(2/3)x

An amount of 41,000 is borrowed for 15 years at 8.5% interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of th

bazaltina [42]

Answer: $139390 must be paid back.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = amount to be played back at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount borrowed.

From the information given,

P = 41000

r = 8.5% = 8.5/100 = 0.085

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 15 years

Therefore,

A = 41000(1 + 0.085/1)^1 × 15

A = 41000(1 + 0.085)^15

A = 41000(1.085)^15

A = $139390
