Answer:

Number of child tickets sold = 43

Number of adult tickets sold = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of child ticket be c and number of adult ticket be a,

Given that the number of $8 child tickets is 17 less than 3 times the number of $12 adult tickets,

      c = 3a - 17

        3a - c = 17 ----------------------eqn 1

The theater received $584

That is

       8 c + 12 a = 584 ----------------------eqn 2

  eqn 2 /4

       2 c + 3 a = 146 ----------------------eqn 3

eqn 3 - eqn 1 gives

             2 c + 3 a - (3a - c) = 146 - 17

               3 c = 129

                   c = 43

Substituting in eqn 1    

           3 x a - 43 = 17

            3a =  60

               a = 20

Number of child tickets sold = 43

Number of adult tickets sold = 20

Answer:

The number of child tickets sold was 43 and the number of adult tickets sold was 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of child tickets sold

y ----> the number of adult tickets sold

we know that

x=3y-17 -----> equation A

8x+12y=584 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (43,20)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of child tickets sold was 43 and the number of adult tickets sold was 20

Please help me with this question step by step on how to solve it. It takes the earth 24 h to complete a full rotation. If it wo
pav-90 [236]

In order to find the number of hours it takes to do the full rotation we separate into pieces the days, hours, and minutes and convert each of them separately.

using the conversion factor from days to hours we get that

1\text{day}=24\text{hours}

then we get that

38\text{days}\cdot\frac{24\text{hours}}{1day}=912hours

hours does not need a conversion factor, meaning that

10\text{hours}=10\text{hours}

continue by converting the minutes using the following conversion factor

1\text{hour}=60\min

then,

30\min \cdot\frac{1\text{hour}}{60\min }=0.5\text{hours}

To complete add all the results together

\begin{gathered} 912+10+0.5 \\ 922.5\text{hours} \end{gathered}

It takes mercury 922.5 hours to complete a full rotation.

Ming has a standard 52-card deck. A standard 52-card deck has 4 suits (♠, ♣,♦, and ♥) and an equal number of cards of each suit.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cards = 52

Total number of cards of each suit (♠, ♣,♦, and ♥) = 13

The probability of getting a card of heart is

\text{Probability of getting a card of heart}=\frac{\text{Number of heart cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}}

\text{Probability of getting a card of heart}=\frac{13}{52}

\text{Probability of getting a card of heart}=\frac{1}{4}

The probability of getting a card other then heart is

1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

If Ming randomly draw a card from the deck 300 times, putting the card back in the deck after each draw, then the number of cards she will draw something other than a heart is

300\times \frac{3}{4}=225

Close to 225 times but probably not exactly 225 times.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
