At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.90

1 answer:

Alik [6]4 years ago

5 0

Let the number of children be c, and the number of adults be a.
c + a = 170 (total number of tickets)
Then the cost of each is: $5.90/child, $9.60/adult:
5.9c + 9.6a = 1269.40 (total sales)
Solving as 2 simultaneous equations, we first transform the first equation:
a = 170 - c
Substitute into the 2nd equation:
5.9c + 9.6(170 - c) = 1269.40
Solving gives c = 98, and a = 170 - 98 = 72. This means that 72 adult tickets were sold that day.

trapecia [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Pythagorean theorem we have:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ <em>subtract b² from both sides</em>

$a^2=c^2-b^2\to a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

Same:

$b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}$

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Electricity bill is 175

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Rent = 1800$

$Gas = 150$

$Each\ Roommate = 425$ monthly

$Number\ of\ Roommate = 5$

Required

Determine the electricity bill

If each roommate pays 425, then 5 roommates pay 5 * 425

$Total = 5 * 425$

$Total = 2125$

This implies that: the monthly cost of room, gas and electricity add up to 2125.

In other words,

$Gas + Rent + Electricity = 2125$

$150 + 1800+ Electricity = 2125$

$1950+ Electricity = 2125$

$Electricity = 2125 - 1950$

$Electricity = 175$

<em>Hence, the electricity bill is 175</em>
