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 .

2% of the students at Hamilton Middle School have red hair. There are 700 students at Hamilton Middle
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

14 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a percentage proportion to find 2% of 700.

\frac{x}{700} = \frac{2}{100}, and we can use the cross products property to find the value of x.

700\cdot2=1400\\\\1400\div100=14

Hope this helped!

A flute instructor examined student progress.he found that playing a longer song does not necessarily mean that a student will h
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The flute instructor can conclude that the length of the song does not have a direct variation or correlation with the number of incorrect notes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation and correlation means that as the "x" variable increases, the "y" variable will change according to it.

If the flute instructor took numerical data, for example, made a chart, and graphed it, then he would not find a trend.

It would probably look like this (see first photo). The plotted points are all over the place. ("x" is the song length, "y" is the number of incorrect notes).

If there was a correlation, then the data would look more like a straight line (see second photo).
