Answer:

461 adults and 864 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.

We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

1(1325-a)+5a=3169

1325-a+5a=3169

1325+4a=3169

1325-1325+4a=3169-1325

4a=1844

a=461

This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.

Yvonne is interested in testing the effectiveness of a new flea medication on dogs, so she divided some dogs with fleas into two
meriva

Actually, the real answer is "NO, BECAUSE GROUP B SHOULD BE THE CONTROL GROUP". Since Yvonne gave the flea medication to the group A, and we need a control group. If you don't know what it's the control group, it's the group that they don't put the experiment on, just to see if the group(s) being experimented, had any positive or negative changes. In a short summary they need group B to stay like they are to compare it to the experimented group (group A)

Good Luck!

Which net matches the figure?
schepotkina [342]

In the first image, notice that the figure is a cube

also known as a "square prism."

Since a cube is composed of square bases, we

want to find a net that is composed of all squares.

Notice that the option of the bottom left is composed of squares.

So this net matches the figure.
