Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.

Jasmine borrowed $15,000 for 8 years and she paid $6,600 in interest. What was the interest rate for Jasmine's loan?
Virty [35]

Answer:

D) 5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the interest rate, use the equation:  I = prt


I = Interest = $6,600


p = principal = $15,000


r = rate = unknown


t = time = 8 years



Now plug the numbers into the equation.


6,600 = 15,000 * r * 8


6,600 = 120,000 * r



Now isolate the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by 120,000.


0.055 = r



Now change the rate to a percent by moving the decimal point 2 digits to the right.


5.5% = r   OR   r = 5.5%

Answer:

The sample standard deviation is 393.99

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a sample can be calculated using the following formula:

s=\sqrt[ ]{\frac{1}{N-1} \sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_{i}-{\displaystyle \textstyle {\bar {x}}}) ^{2} }

Where:

s= Sample standart deviation

N= Number of observations in the sample

{\displaystyle \textstyle {\bar {x}}}= Mean value of the sample

and \sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_{i}-{\displaystyle \textstyle {\bar {x}}}) ^{2} } simbolizes the addition of the square of the difference between each observation and the mean value of the sample.

Let's start calculating the mean value:

\bar {x}=\frac{1}{N}  \sum_{i=1}^{N}x_{i}

\bar {x}=\frac{1}{15}*(180+1600+90+140+50+260+400+90+380+110+10+60+20+340+80)

\bar {x}=\frac{1}{15}*(3810)

\bar {x}=254

Now, let's calculate the summation:

\sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_{i}-\bar {x}) ^{2} }=(180-254)^2+(1600-254)^2+(90-254)^2+...+(80-254)^2

\sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_{i}-\bar {x}) ^{2} }=2173160

So, now we can calculate the standart deviation:

s=\sqrt[ ]{\frac{1}{N-1} \sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_{i}-{\displaystyle \textstyle {\bar {x}}}) ^{2} }

s=\sqrt[ ]{\frac{1}{15-1}*(2173160)}

s=\sqrt[ ]{\frac{2173160}{14}}

s=393.99

The sample standard deviation is 393.99

Find the area of a circle with a Radius = 4 ft. Use 3.14 for and round to 2 decimal places.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

50.24 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well formula for area of a circle is pi(radius)^2

so the radius is 4 so you square that it’ll be 16

then do 16(3.14)

you’ll get 50.24
