Answer:

The results don't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

"x" is the number of children's tickets

"y" is the number of adult tickets

Thus:

8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259

 x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y

replacing we have:

 8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259

280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259

 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280

0.75 * y = -21

y = -21 / 0.75

y = -28

Thus:

x = 35 - (-28) = 63

With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.

mylen [45]
Answer.
Explanation. Let’s get all of the options down to the 1 ounce unit to determine the price per oz. we can do this by dividing the cost by the size.
0.79/10= 0.079 per oz
1.29/15=0.086 per oz
2.16/18=0.12 per oz
3.19/32=0.099 per oz
By looking at all of the options, we find that the 10 oz can has the lowest unit price. Hope this helps, let me know if it’s correct so others can use it :)
Good luck.

The floor of Catelyn's bedroom has an area of 123 1/2 square feet. The walls are 9 1/2 feet tall. What is the volume of Catelyn'
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Volume of the Catelyn's bedroom =  1173\frac{1}{4} cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Floor of Catelyn's bedroom has area = 123\frac{1}{2} square feet

                                                              = 123.5 square feet

Height of the walls = 9\frac{1}{2} feet

                               = 9.5 feet

Shape of the room is like a rectangular prism.

Therefore, volume of the bedroom = Area of the rectangular base × Height

                                                           = 123.5 × 9.5

                                                          = 1173.25

                                                          = 1173\frac{1}{4} cubic feet

The University of Texas at Austin has three times as many students enrolled as the University of Miami. The University of Califo
Leni [432]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the University of Miami enrolment be x

so the University of Texas at Austin has three times = 3x

The University of California, Berkley has 3,000 more than twice the number of students at the University of Miami.

this can be translated as = 3000+2x

in total, the enrolment is 96,000

therefore

x+3x+3000+2x=96000

we can now solve for x

6x=96000-3000

6x=93000

divide both sides by 6 we have

x=15500

1. The University of Miami enrolment is 15500 students

2. The University of Texas at Austin has three times = 3x

   =3*15500

   = 46500  students

3. The University of California, Berkley has

    = 3000+2x

    = 3000+2(15500)

    =3000+46500

    =49500 students

You manage a call center that processes orders. One measure of efficiency in your department is the time spent on each call. You
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the report is made once a month, the daily variations (including the tendency to decrease efficiency on Friday) will be masked within the monthly result.

It would only generate an ethical problem in the case that Fridays fall in different samples, but in the case of the monthly report there are usually 4 or 5 Fridays included in each sample.
