(08.06) A school fair ticket costs $8 per adult and $1 per child. On a certain day, the total number of adults (a) and children

(c) who went to the fair was 30, and the total money collected was $100. Which of the following options represents the number of children and the number of adults who attended the fair that day, and the pair of equations that can be solved to find the numbers?

Call the number of adults $a$ and the number of children $c$ . We then know:
$a+c=30$
and using the given costs:
$8a+c=100$
thus:
$c=30-a$
$8a+30-a=100$
$7a=70$
$a=10$
by backsubstitution:
$a+c=30$
$10+c=30$
$c=20$

Item 5<br> Write 77.5% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.

jeyben [28]

<span>77.5% can also be written as 77.5/100, but if you're the mathematical notation police, people don't like decimals on a fraction, sooo, an equivalent form is: </span>

<span>
= (77.5)/(100) * (2/2)
= 155/200
= 31/40
= 0 31/40 </span>

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation 2 h tt = − 16t^2+

Answer:

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the coin, after t seconds, is given by the following equation:

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100$

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

The stream is the ground level.

So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100$

$-16t^{2} + 72t + 100 = 0$

Multiplying by (-1)

$16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0$

So

$a = 16, b = -72, c = -100$

$\bigtriangleup = (-72)^{2} - 4*16*(-100) = 11584$

$t_{1} = \frac{-(-72) + \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = 5.61$

$t_{2} = \frac{-(-72) - \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = -1.11$

Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.
