The cost of a senior citizen ticket is $15 and the cost of a student ticket is $12.

How did I get this?
We know that 6 citizen tickets and 7 student stickers sold for $174 the first day. And 10 citizen tickets and 14 student tickets sold for $318 the second day.

1. create two equations out of this: C= citizen cost per ticket and S = student cost per ticket.

  6C + 7S = $174
10C + 14S = $318

2. Use process of elimination. Multiply the first equation by 2 because we want two variables to cancel out.

-12C - 14S = -$348
10C + 14S = $318
Combine like terms.

-2C = $30
Divide by -2 on both sides. The left side cancels out.

C = $30/-2
C = -$15 (In this case the negative doesn't matter)

C = $15 (cost of senior citizen ticket)

Plug the value of C into any of the two equations so we can get the value of S.

6($15) + 7S = $174
Distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.

$90 + 7S = $174
Subtract both sides by $90 and the left side will cancel out.

7S = $84
Divide both sides by 7.
S = $12

Student ticket: $12
Senior citizen ticket: $15

Write the expanded form of the decimal 0.082¯ using powers of 10
Softa [21]

Answer:

0.082 = 8.2× 10^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the decimal number 0.082, the expanded form using the power of 10 can be gotten by writing the decimal number in standard format(writing as a multiple of 10).

To do that we will shift the decimal point to the front up to the front of digit 8. This shows that the decimal point will be shifted 2times to the front. Since of is shifted 2times to the front, our power of 10 will be -2.

0.082 = 8.2× 10^-2

This gives the required answer.

Note that, the power of 10 is positive when decimals are shifted to the back and negative when shifted to the front(in this case).

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A) 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Ⓗⓘ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ

Well, first thing's first: find the area.

The formula for area is L*W

L=9 ft

W=6 ft

9*6=54 sq ft

Since the area is 54 sq ft, and each small glass square is 1 sq ft, you would need A) 54 squares of glass
