Answer:

the price adult ticket is $8 and the price of children tickets is $5.

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a simultaneous equation.

Let :

x = price of adult tickets

y = price of children tickets

If 8 adult tickets and 12 student tickets are sold for a total of $124, the first equation would be

8x + 12y = $124

If 16 adult tickets and 23 student tickets are sold for a total of $243, the second equation would be

16x +23y = $243

The two equations are

8x + 12y = 124

16x +23y = 243

To solve, multiply equation 1 by 2 . This gives equation 3

16x + 24y = 248

Now substract equation 3 from 2. This gives y = 5

To find y, substitute 5 with y in equation 1

8 x + 12(5) = 124

8x + 60 = 124

Solve for x

x = 8

Therefore, the price adult ticket is $8 and the price of children tickets is $5.

I hope my answer helps you

Restaurant A uses 60 bags of tomatoes each month. The tomatoes are purchased from a supplier for a price of $80 per bag and an o
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 60 bags

cost = 80 / bag

s = 20 / order

h = 40% of cost

     0.4 * 80 / 100

h= 32 unit/year

D =  d * 12 months

D = 60 * 12

D = 720 bags / year

EOQ = \sqrt{2DS/H}

EOQ = \sqrt{2 *720*20/32}

EOQ = 30 bags

Total cost =  Total holding cost + total ordering cost

Total holding cost  = (Q/2 * H) = (30/2 * 32) = 480

Total ordering cost =  (D/Q * 20) = (720/30 *20) = 480

Total cost = 480 + 480 = 960

Total purchasing cost  = cost * D = 80 * 720 = 57.600

Percentage= total cost  / total purchasing cost  * 100

960 / 57.600 * 100

1.67 %
