Answer: i think it should be 1:3=2:6
Step-by-step explanation:
45 + 32 + 37 = 114
114÷3 = 38
4 total quizzes,
for a 40 average on 4 quizzes she needs 40*4 = 160 total points
for 3 quizzes she has 45 +32 +37 = 114 points
160-114 = 46, she needs at least a 46 on the 4th quiz
The answer to the question is $4.7
P=4s
s=p/4
a=s^2, using s found above
a=p^2/16, we were told that p=40 so
a=40^2/16
a=100 in^2
Let us formulate the independent equation that represents the problem. We let x be the cost for adult tickets and y be the cost for children tickets. All of the sales should equal to $20. Since each adult costs $4 and each child costs $2, the equation should be
4x + 2y = 20
There are two unknown but only one independent equation. We cannot solve an exact solution for this. One way to solve this is to state all the possibilities. Let's start by assigning values of x. The least value of x possible is 0. This is when no adults but only children bought the tickets.
When x=0,
4(0) + 2y = 20
y = 10
When x=1,
4(1) + 2y = 20
y = 8
When x=2,
4(2) + 2y = 20
y = 6
When x=3,
4(3) + 2y= 20
y = 4
When x = 4,
4(4) + 2y = 20
y = 2
When x = 5,
4(5) + 2y = 20
y = 0
When x = 6,
4(6) + 2y = 20
y = -2
A negative value for y is impossible. Therefore, the list of possible combination ends at x =5. To summarize, the combinations of adults and children tickets sold is tabulated below:
Number of adult tickets Number of children tickets
0 10
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
5 0
