Answer: 194 children, 46 students and 97 adults attended.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number children that attended.

Let y represent the number students that attended.

Let z represent the number adults that attended.

The movie theater has a seating capacity of 337. Assuming it was filled to capacity, It means that

x + y + z = 337- - - - - - - - - - -1

The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. If the total ticket sales was $ 2456, it means that

5x + 7y + 12z = 2456- - - - - - - - -2

There are half as many adults as there are children. It means that

z = x/2

x = 2z

Substituting x = 2z into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

2z + y + z - 337

y + 3z = 337- - -- - - - - - -3

5 × 2z + 7y + 12z = 2456

10z + 7y + 12z = 2456

7y + 22z = 2456- - - - - - - -4

Multiplying equation 3 by 7 and equation 4 by 1, it becomes

7y + 21z = 2359

7y + 22z = 2456

Subtracting, it becomes

- z = - 97

z = 97

x = 2z = 2 × 97

x = 194

Substituting x = 194 and z = 97 into equation 1, it becomes

194 + y + 97 = 337

y + 291 = 337

y = 337 - 291

y = 46

A man bought a lot for 1200 and sold it for 1500. his percent of gain based on his purchase was
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: The percent gain was 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Cost price of lot = $1,200

Selling price of lot = $1,500

The percent gain = \dfrac{\text{selling price- cost price}}{\text{cost price}}\times100

⇒ Percent gain =\dfrac{1500-1200}{1200}\times100\%

\Rightarrow\text{ Percent gain}=\dfrac{300}{1200}\times100\%\\\\\Rightarrow\text{ Percent gain}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times100\%\\\\\Rightarrow\text{ Percent gain}=25\%

Hence, the percent gain was 25% based on his purchase.

The distance bewteen Harry and Kate is 2500 meters. Kate and Harry start walking toward one another and Kate' dog start running
Furkat [3]
Well, Kate and Harry together are walking 100 meters per minute. Which means it will take them 25 minutes to reach each other (I think). 

If the dog is running 120 meters per minute: 120 x 25 = 3,000.

The dog will run 3,000 meters (if he runs constantly to and from the spot that Kate and and Harry started).

Varvara68 [4.7K]
We know that
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
c=²=a²+b²
where c is the diagonal of the wall
a=12 ft
b=6 ft
c²=12²+6²-----> c²=144+36-----< c²=180-----> c=√180------> c=6√5 ft

the answer is
<span>the exact length of the brace is 6</span>√5 ft
