The Opera House sells an average of 1,700 tickets per night when the price of each ticket is $25. An employee of the Opera House

noticed that with every one-dollar decrease in the cost of each ticket, the number of tickets sold increased by 200 tickets. Write an equation that could be used to determine the number of one-dollar decreases, x, that would yield a revenue of $55,000.

For an average sell:
1,700 * $25 = $42,500 ( revenue )
If the Opera House wants to increase a revenue:
Price of a ticket:  $25 - x ( where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases )
Number of tickets: 1,700 + 200 x
Therefore an equation is:
( 1,700 + 200 x ) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000
We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.
x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 = 10.6.
For x = 6 ( 6 times 1-dollar decreases ):
( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18 =
= 2,900 * 19 = 55,100 ( we will yield the revenue over $55,000 ).

What is the probability that a point chosen at random in the given figure will be inside the larger triangle and outside the sma
Anna007 [38]
Given:
Area of a triangle = (h*b) / 2

Area of smaller triangle = (4cm * 4cm) / 2 = 16cm² / 2 = 8 cm²
Area of larger triangle = (6cm * 10cm) / 2 = 60cm² / 2 = 30 cm²

30cm² - 8cm² = 22cm²

Probability that the point is inside the large triangle but outside the small triangle:

22cm² / 30cm² → 11/15 → 0.73 or 73%

Is it Proportional or nonproportional and and explain why
mariarad [96]

Answer:

They're both proportional because everything's moving at a constant rate. Think of it this way: If a car travels for 50 miles per hour and the speed never changes, it's proportional. If that car at hour 1 traveled at 50mph and then at hour 2 traveled at 60mph, it would be nonproportional since the speed is increasing and changing.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

6 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You first want to find the factors of 42. They are:

1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42

The factor pairs are:

  1. 1 & 42
  2. 2&21
  3. 3&14
  4. 6&7

The only factor pair with consecutive numbers is 6 and 7. They are both less than 10 as well, so 6 and 7 works.
