Answer:

16 children attended the play

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one adult brought four children. The cost of their tickets should be:

($4×1) + ($2×1)

= 4+8

= $12

Since the remaining adults brought 2 children each, it means that each of the remaining adults will pay the cost of three tickets (1 for themselves and 2 for their children) which is:

($4×1) + ($2×2) = $4 + $4 = $8.

Since total cost of tickets for adults and children = $60, we will subtract $12 from $60 in order to know the cost of the tickets for the remaining adults and their children.

$60 - $12 = $48

Each of the remaining adults paid $8 as ticket cost for themselves and their kids. If the adults that brought only 2 kids paid a combined $48, then the number of adults that brought 2 kids each

= $48/$8

= 6 adults.

If each of these 6 adults brought 2 kids each, then the number of children that they brought = 2 × 6 = 12

We now add this to the four children of the first adult

12 + 4 = 16

Therefore the number of children that attended the play = 16

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets for a play were $2 for a child and $4 for an adult.

Tickets price for a child= $2

Tickets price for an adult= $4

One adult brought 4 children. This will give a price of:

(1×4) + (2×4) = 4+8 = $12

The remaining adults brought 2 children each.

Let the remaining adults be y. Each adult will spend:

4+(2×2) = 4+4 = $8

Since there are y adults, it will give 8×y = 8y.

8y + 12 = 60

8y = 60-12

8y = 48

y = 48/8 = 6

The remaining adults are 6. Since we had one adult earlier, total adults will be 7.

To get the number of children that went to the play will be:

(P × number of children) + (price× number of adults) = $60

= (2 × children) + (4 × 7) = $60

= (2 × children) + $28 = $60

= (2 × children) = $60 - $28

= (2 × children) = $32

Children= 32/2

Children= 16

There are 16 children at the play.

Tatiana [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

just look at the objects !

they are completely regular, and each arm can cover every other other arm.

so,

15A needs 1/3 of a full rotation.

15B needs 1/2 of a full rotation.

15C needs 1/4 of a full rotation.

15D needs (can you guess ?) ... 1/6 of a full rotation.

The equation y 10x describes the amount of money Sandra earns, where x is the number of hours she
tester [92]

Answer:

a) $10 per hour

b) Sandra

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

<em>The equation y 10x describes the amount of money Sandra earns, where x is the number of hours she  works and y is the amount of money she earns </em>

<em>The table shows the amount of money Susan cams for different numbers of hours worked</em>

<em>Susan's Earnings </em>

<em>Time (h)           Money Earned</em>

<em>5                              40</em>

<em>8                              64                </em>

<em>10                             80</em>

<em>(a) How much money does Sandra eam per hour? Show your work </em>

<em>(b) Who earns more per hour? Justify your answer</em>

<em />

<em />

<u>Answer:</u>

a)

y = 10x is sandra's equation. To find her hourly rate, we need to find how much she earns in "1" hour. Since x is hours, we plug in x = 1 and find y (which is her pay).

y = 10x

y = 10(1)

y = 10

$10 is Sandra's hourly rate.

b)

To find who earns more per hour, we need to find the hourly rate of Susan as well from the table. Then compare.

5 hours = $40 so per hour is 40/5 = 8

8 hours is 64, so per hour 64/8 = 8

10 hours is 80, so 80/10 = 8

The table is justified at $8 per hour.

We know Sandra earns $10/hr and Susan earns $8 per hour. So Sandra earns more per hour.
