Answer:

156 children

175 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

Then we know that:

x + z = 331

We also know that:

3.50x + 7z = 1,771.00

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

-Multiplay the first equation by -7 and add it to the second equation:

-7x - 7z = -2,317

3.50x + 7z = 1,771

----------------------------------

-3.5x = -546

x =\frac{-546}{-3.5}\\\\x=156

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

156 + z = 331

z = 331-156

z = 175

Let c be children and a adults.

3.5c + 7a = 1771 (the total revenue is equal to the amounts made off of people)

c + a = 331 (total number of people)

The second formula becomes a = 331 - c. This can be substituted into the first formula.

3.5c + 7(331 - c) = 1771 = 7*331 - 3.5c = 1771. 7*331 = 2317, so 3.5c = 2317 - 1771 = 546.

546/3.5 = 156 = c (number of children).

c + a = 156 + a = 331 => a = 331 - 156 = 175 (number of adults).

There are 156 children and 175 adults

The probability of pulling out a bag of colored marbles is 2:5. If you were to pull colored marbles out of the bag one at a time
olchik [2.2K]

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

The probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of colored marbles is 2:5. If you were to pull colored marbles out of the bag one at a time, and putting the marble back each time for 600 tries, approximately how many time would you select a green marble?? ( explanation too) 7th grade Math

Answer:

We would approximately pick a green marble 240 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given from the question the probability of pulling a green marble out of a bag of colored marbles is 2:5

Let us denote the number of trials as X

Now the approximately number of times a green marble can be selected would be

=2/5 times

From the question we are given 600 trials

which implies our x=600

Therefore, the number of times we would pick a green marble is:

2/5 × 600 times

≈ 240 times

Therefore, we would approximately pick a green marble 240 times
