Answer:

3,500 no votes

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 7 yes votes to every 4 no votes.  There were a total of 6,125 yes votes, so set up a proportion to find the number of no votes

Let x represent the number of no votes

7 is to 4 as 6,125 is to x

We get

7/4 = 6,125/x

Now solve for x

First cross multiply

7x = 24,500

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x..

x = 3,500 no votes

Suppose you invest $100 a month in an annuity that
Dominik [7]

Answer:

  $2502.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the amount of an annuity due is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/(r/n)

where P is the monthly payment (100), r is the annual interest rate (.04), n is the number of compoundings per year (12), and t is the number of years (2). Given these numbers, the formula evaluates to ...

  A = $100(1.00333333)(1.00333333^24 -1)/0.00333333

  = $100(301)(0.08314296)

  = $2502.60

_____

This value is confirmed by a financial calculator. The given answer choices all appear to be incorrect. The closest one corresponds to an annual interest rate (APR) of 4.286%, not 4%.

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.10 and adult admission is $9.70. On Thursday, 128 tickets were sold for a total sale
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children tickets sold and y be the number of adult tickets sold. Then

x+y=128.

The cost of x children tickets is $5.10x and the cost of y adult tickets is $9.70y, so

5.10x+9.70y =896.60.

From the first equation,

x=128-y,

then

5.10(128-y)+9.70y=896.60,\\ \\652.80-5.10y+9.70y=896.60,\\ \\4.60y=243.8,\\ \\y=53.

53 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

36 divide by 3 times 4
