Last year 190 student attended the spring dance and the total cost was 1250. Two years ago 175 people attended and the total cos
kondor19780726 [428]
Unit cost of a ticket = Income from ticket sales / number of tickets sold:

$1250
--------------- = $6.58 per ticket
190 tickets

Again:

$1175
--------------- = $6.71
175 tickets

While ticket prices do change (usually increase) from year to year, it's unusual to see such a situation here.

Don't have any guidelines by which to determine the "fixed cost of a ticket".

If we use the cost of a ticket of 2 years ago ($6.58/ticket), then the income from the sale of 225 tickets this year would be ($6.58/ticket)(225 tickets), or $1480.50.

BRAINLY!!!- if a=7, b=8, and c=9.2 is this a right triangle? why?
Travka [436]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

If this were a right triangle we would assume the Pythagorean Theorem to prove it

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

7^{2} +8^{2} =9.2^{2}

this gives us

49+64=84.64

this is 143=84.64 and therefore not equal and not a right triangle
