A system of equations is good for a problem like this.
Let x be the number of student tickets sold
Let y be the number of adult tickets sold
x + y = 200
2x + 3y = 490
x = 200 - y
2(200 - y) + 3y = 490
400 - 2y + 3y = 490
400 + y = 490
y = 90
The number of adult tickets sold was 90.
x + 90 = 200 --> x = 110
2x + 3(90) = 490 --> 2x + 270 = 490 --> 2x = 220 --> x = 110
The number student tickets sold was 110.

Henry just got a job at the mall. His job pays an hourly rate of $10.25.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

A. He will have to work 40 hours to buy the headphones

B.  1200 ≤ 10.25x ≤ 2000    where x is # of hrs worked

He can work anywhere between 118 and 196 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Divide 399.95 by 10.25 to get 39.01 hours. But since you cant work 0.01 of an hour, you have to round up to the next hour

B. You want to make more than or equal to 1200, so put that in the inequality. You want to make less or equal to 2000, so you put that in the inequality. In the middle, you put 10.25 an hour multiplied by the number of hours, which is a variable.

To solve, I made 10.25x = 1200, and x equaled 117.07, which rounds up to 118 hours because you cant work a 0.07 of an hour. 118 hours is the low number of the spectrum.

To solve for the highest number on the spectrum, you do 10.25x = 2000, and x equals 195.12, but since you cant work 0.12 of an hour, it rounds up to 196 hours.

Solve each system by elimination.
mixas84 [53]
For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3

A screening test for a disease shows a positive result in 91% of all cases when the disease is actually present and in 7% of all
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

0.0713 = 7.13% probability that the result is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a positive test:

91% of 1/650(has the disease).

7% of 1 - 1/650 = 649/650(does not have the disease). So

p = 0.91\frac{1}{650} + 0.07\frac{649}{650} = \frac{0.91 + 0.07*649}{650} = 0.0713

0.0713 = 7.13% probability that the result is positive.
