Answer:

Price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the price a senior citizen ticket be x .

Let us assume that the price a student citizen ticket be y .

As given

The school that Jack goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 9 senior citizen tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $156.

Equtaions becomes

9x + 8y = 156

As given

The school took in $163 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 9 student tickets.

Equations becomes

7x + 9y = 163

Multipy 9x + 8y = 156 by 9 .

81x + 72y = 1404

Multiply 7x + 9y = 163  by 8 .

56x + 72y = 1304

Subtracted 56x + 72y = 1304 from 81x + 72y = 1404 .

81x - 56x + 72y - 72y = 1404 - 1304

25x = 100

x = \frac{100}{25}

x = $ 4

Putting value of x in the 56x + 72y = 1304 .

56 × 4 + 72y = 1304

224 + 72y = 1304

72y  = 1304 - 224

72y = 1080

y = \frac{1080}{72}

y = $15

Therefore the price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

Nathan opens a new savings account and makes an initial deposit of $400.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to the first one is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the time frame given is 9 months, then we can find that 9 months is 3/4 of a year. 3/4 x 2% = 0.015.     0.015 x 400 = 6. He would have made 6 dollars in 9 months.

Answer the the second one:

4.5% x 5 (years) = 0.225.     0.225 x 10,000 = 2,250. Since this is a car loan and not a bank interest for example, we add it to the total cost. I'm pretty sure its the third one.

US National forest cover approximately 300,000 square miles. conversationalist want the total square footage of forests to be 30
Sveta_85 [38]
E+10 is equivalent to 10^10 so, 9e+10 is equivalent to 9*10^10. 300,000^2 is 90000000000 square miles, where as the US has 4000000. Therefore, if the national forest were as large as the environmentalist wants them to be, the forest would be larger than the US, which is IMPOSSIBLE !!! As a result, this goal is not reasonable

D is false.
