He will have 7.75 left from the 20 dollar bill he spent
Answer:
64 adult tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = adult tickets sold
c = child tickets sold
a+c = 90 since there were 90 tickets sold
12a+7c = 950 since the amount of money collect is 950
c = 90-a
Substitute this into the second equation
12a +7( 90-a) = 950
Distribute
12a + 630-7a = 950
Combine like terms
5a +630 = 950
Subtract 630 from each side
5a = 950-630
5a = 320
Divide by 5
5a/5 = 320/5
a =64
64 adult tickets were sold

x + -1.4 = 7.82
Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + x = 7.82
Solving
-1.4 + x = 7.82
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + 1.4 + x = 7.82 + 1.4
Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 7.82 + 1.4
x = 7.82 + 1.4
Combine like terms: 7.82 + 1.4 = 9.22
x = 9.22
Simplifying
x = 9.22</span>
The given scenario falls under the category of conditional probability. There are a total of 56 people in the fishing group described above. The probability that the a person caught a fish and fished from a boat is 24/56. The probability that he fished from a boat is (24+11)/56. For the conditional probability in this item is,
P = (24/56) / ((24+11)/56) = 24/35 = 0.69
