Answer:
562 child tickets were sold
217 adult tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission
At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771
Let x represent the child ticket
Let y represent the adult ticket
x + y= 779..............equation 1
3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2
From equation 1
x + y = 779
x= 779 -y
Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2
3x + 5y= 2771
3(779-y) + 5y= 2771
2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771
2337 +2y= 2771
2y= 2771 -2337
2y = 434
y = 434/2
y = 217
Substitute 217 for y in equation 1
x + y= 779
x + 217= 779
x = 779-217
x= 562
Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold
Answer:945
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- $8000 at 1%
- $2000 at 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
It often works well to let a variable represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then an equation can be written relating amounts invested to the total interest earned.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let x represent the amount invested at 10%. Then 10000-x is the amount invested at 1%. The total interest earned is ...
0.10x +0.01(10000 -x) = 280
<h3>solution</h3>
Simplifying gives ...
0.09x +100 = 280
0.09x = 180 . . . . . . . subtract 100
x = 2000 . . . . . . divide by 0.09
10000 -x = 8000 . . . . amount invested at 1%
<h3>1.</h3>
$8000 should be invested in the 1% account
<h3>2.</h3>
$2000 should be invested in the 10% account

Answer:
about 1.5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth, so a 9-lb cat would weigh about 9/6 = 1.5 pounds on the moon.
Answer:
t = 9 s
Step-by-step explanation:
A stone is thrown downward with an intitial velocity of 29.5 m/sec will travel a distance of a meters, where
We need to find when the stone will hit the ground. It means when s(t) = 0. So,
So, the stone will take 9 seconds to hit the ground. Hence, this is the required solution.
