Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, according to question;

Total money = Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee

\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57

Since x is the  number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.

John is at a local bait shop; he wants to buy bait for his fishing trip. At the store, they are selling live bait for $12 a poun
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x\geq3

12x+7y\leq63

y\geq0

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x be the amount of live bait and y be the amount of natural bait, Then we can come up with the following inequalities;

We are told that John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait. At least 3 means 3 or more. Since x represents the amount of live bait, we have;

x\geq3

Moreover,we are informed that;

The store sells live bait for $12 a pound and natural bait for $7 a pound. x pounds of live bait would cost 12x while y pounds of natural bait would cost 7y. The total cost would thus be;

12x + 7y

but John only has a budget of $63. This implies that he can spend $63 at most, thus;

12x+7y\leq63

Finally we can have our last inequality as;

y\geq0
