To solve, you would need to make two equations and substitute one in for the other. Let a = # of adults, and c = # of children

5a + 2c = 1,220
a + c = 295

a + c = 295
-c         -c
a = 295 - c

5(295 - c) + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 5c + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220

1,475 - 3c = 1,220
-1,475           -1,475
-3c = -255

-3c/-3 = -255/-3
c = 85

a + c = 295
a + 85 = 295
     -85    -85
a = 210

210 adults attended the dance recital

Hope this helps!

Since we don't know how much students there is going to be, let's assume it's x. 367x+1500=16600. 16600-1500=15100. We have to isolate x by itself so 15100/367 which equals 41.14etc And round it to 41 since there can't be a decimal of a student. Hope this helped.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It is an example of an empirical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical probability, also called experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.

Theoretical probability is probability that is determined on the basis of reasoning.

It is evident that the probability in the question was arrived at after the outcome of 14 days of whether Jerry Gergich spilled his lunch on himself or not.

It's an actual result of an experiment, hence the 12/14 = 0.86 = 86% that he spills his lunch on himself tomorrow.

Hope this Helps!!!
