She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacy is selling tickets for the school play

  • She has a total of 200 seats available, and there will be two types of tickets offered, child and adult tickets
  • She sold each child ticket for $6 , each adult ticket for $10 , and made a total of $1704

We need to find how many of each ticket  she sold

Assume that x is the number of child tickets and y is the number of the adult tickets

∵ She has a total of 200 seats available

∵ She sold x child tickets

∵ She sold y adult tickets

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 200

∴ x + y = 200 ⇒ (1)

∵ She sold each child ticket for $6

∵ She sold each adult ticket for $10

∵ She made a total of $1704

- Multiply x by 6 and y by 10, then add the products and

   equate them by 1704

∴ 6x + 10y = 1704 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equation to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 to eliminate y

∵ -10x - 10y = -2000 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3) to find x

∴ -4x = -296

- Divide both sides by -4

∴ x = 74

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 74 + y = 200

- Subtract 74 from both sides

∴ y = 126

She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

My estimated answer for 1 is x=1.59 or x=-1.26 and my exact answer is (in word form) x= 1 plus or minus the square root of 73 over 6. my estimated answer for 2 is x=-0.34 or x=1.74 and my exact answer (in word form) is x= -7 plus or minus the square root of 109 over -10. I took a picture of my work and hopefully you can read it

Doug estimates that his soccer team will win 7 games this year. The team actually wins 10 games. What is the percent error of Do
baherus [9]

Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error = \dfrac{|\text{Estimated value - Actual value}|}{\text{Actual value}}\times100\%

Estimated number of games win this year = 7

Actual number of games won = 10

Now ,   the percent error of Doug’s estimate = \dfrac{|7-10|}{10}\times100\%= \dfrac{3}{1}\times10\%=30\%

Hence, the percent error of Doug’s estimate = 30%
