Answer:

1200 children and 1500 Adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose x be the children and y be the adults as total people are 2700 that have entered so we can write an equation as

x+y=2700 (Equation 1)

and as per child $1.50 is the cost and $4 for every adult and collectively we have got $7800 so we can write the equation as

1.50x+4y=7800 (Equation 2)

Extracting the value of y from equation 1

Y=2700-x (Equation 3)

Putting the value of y from equation 3 into equation 2

1.50x+4(2700-x)=7800

1.50x+10800-4x=7800

1.50x-4x=7800-10800

-2.5x=-3000

Cancellation of negative signs on both sides

x=3000/2.5

x=1200

Putting the value of x in equation 3 to get the value of y

y=2700-1200

y=1500

Find the sum which amounts to Rs 9261 at 10% per annum compound interest for 18 months ,interest payable half yearly

AleksAgata [21]

Find the sum which amounts to Rs 9261 at 10% per annum compound interest for 18 months ,interest payable half yearly

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where A is amount , r is rate =10% = 0.10 , n is intervals of compounding n=2 , t is time = 18 months=1.5 years

Lets plug in

$9261=P(1+\frac{0.10}{2})^{2*1.5}$

$9261 = P(1.002)^{3}$

$9261 = P(1.006012008)$

divide both sides by 1.006012008

$P= Rs 9205.6555$

A pond has 150 fish and the population decreases by 8% each day. How many days before there are 30 fish

nlexa [21]

Answer:

19 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 150$ --- initial

$r = 8\%$ -- rate

Required

Days when the fish gets to 30

The function is exponential and as such it follows;

$y = ab^x$

Where x represents the number of days and y the number of fishes

Because the fishes decreases;

$b = 1 - r$

So, we have:

$b = 1 - 8\%$

Express as decimal

$b = 1 - 0.08$

$b = 0.92$

In $y = ab^x$

$a =150$

$y = 30$

$b = 0.92$

So, we have:

$30 = 150 * 0.92^x$

Divide both sides by 150

$0.2 = 0.92^x$

Take log of both sides

$log(0.2) = log(0.92^x)$

Apply law of logarithm

$log(0.2) = x\ log(0.92)$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{log(0.2)}{log(0.92)}$

$x = \frac{-0.6990}{-0.0362}$

$x = 19.309$

$x \approx 19$

<em>Hence, it takes approximately 19 days</em>
