400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one child ticket = $14

Cost of one adult ticket = $32

Total attendance = 1000

Revenue generated = $24800

Let,

x be the number of children.

y be the number of adults.

According to given statement;

x+y=1000   Eqn 1

14x+32y=24800   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 14

14(x+y=1000)\\14x+14y=14000\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(14x+32y)-(14x+14y)=24800-14000\\14x+32y-14x-14y=10800\\18y=10800\\

Dividing both sides by 18

\frac{18y}{18}=\frac{10800}{18}\\y=600

Putting y=800 in Eqn 1

x+600=1000\\x=1000-600\\x=400

400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.

John is 3 years older than Jim. Jim is 4 years less than half of Dana’s age. How old is each person if their ages add up to 167?
kogti [31]

Solution:

we are given that

John is 3 years older than Jim. Jim is 4 years less than half of Dana’s age.

Let the age of Jim be x years then we can say

Age of John=x+3

If diana Age is D then

x=D/2-4

It can be re-wriiten as

Diana age D=2x+8

Given that  their ages add up to 167

x+x+3+2x+8=167\\
\\
4x+11=167\\
\\
4x=167-11\\
\\
4x=156\\
\\
x=39\\

Hence jim is 39 nyears old, John is 39+3=42 years old. and Diana is 2*39+8=78+8=86 years old.

Because Charles David Keeling and his new colleagues began measuring CO2 in 1958, we now have an excellent record of how CO2 con
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1. 516 ppm; 2. 561 ppm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. CO₂ increase at old rate

Time = 2100 - 2010 = 90 years

Increase in CO₂ = 90 yr × (1.4 ppm/1 yr) = 126 ppm

CO₂ in 2010 = 390 + 126 = 516 ppm

At the old rate, the CO₂ concentration in 2100 will be 516 ppm.

2. CO₂ increase at new rate

Time = 2100 - 2010 = 90 years

Increase in CO₂ = 90 yr × (1.9 ppm/1 yr) = 171 ppm

CO₂ in 2010 = 390 + 171 = 561 ppm

At the new rate, the CO₂ concentration in 2100 will be 561 ppm.

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINLEST
denpristay [2]

Answer:

(i) Five number summary: Minimum value = 1, Q_1=18,Median=18.5, Q_3=20.5, Maximum value = 26.

(ii) IQR = 2.5, upper fence = 24.25 and lower fence = 14.25.

(iii) 26 is an outlier of the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is

19, 18, 23, 18, 18, 26, 19, 16, 20, 18, 17, 21

Arrange the data set in ascending order.

16, 17, 18, 18, 18, 18, 19, 19, 20, 21, 23, 26

Divide the data set in 4 equal parts.

(16, 17, 18), (18, 18, 18), (19, 19, 20), (21, 23, 26)

Minimum value = 16

Q_1=\frac{18+18}{2}=18

Median=Q_2=\frac{18+19}{2}=18.5

Q_3=\frac{20+21}{2}=20.5

Maximum value = 26

The inter quartile range (IQR) of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=20.5-18=2.5

Upper fence :

Q_3+1.5(IQR)=20.5+1.5(2.5)=24.25

Lower fence :

Q_1-1.5(IQR)=18-1.5(2.5)=14.25

If the any element of the data set lies out side the upper fence and lower fence, then it is called an outlier.

26 ∉ [14.25, 24.25]

Therefore, 26 is an outlier of the data.

Use AAS to prove the triangles congruent..........
andriy [413]
Hey there, 29levelupchaye2!

Angles B and G are congruent because they are alternate interior angles since they are in between two parallel lines.

Angles ACB and HFG are congruent because they are alternate exterior angles since they are both outside two parallel lines cut by a transversal.
