X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations: 
x+y=118                 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696

we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42

x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76

Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.

Of the people who fished at Clearwater Park today, 48 had a fishing license, 32and did not. Of the people who fished at Mountain
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license is 0.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a fisher at Clearwater Park had a fishing license

<em>Y</em> = a fisher at Mountain View Park had a fishing license

The two events are independent.

The information provided is:

n (X) = 48

n (X') = 32

n (Y) = 72

n (Y') = 18

Then,

N (X) = n (X) + n (X')

        = 48 + 32

        = 80

N (Y) = n (Y) + n (Y')

        = 72 + 18

        = 90

Compute the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license as follows:

P(X'\cap Y)=P(X')\times P(Y)

                 =\frac{n(X')}{N(X)}\times \frac{n(Y)}{N(Y)} \\\\=\frac{32}{80}\times\frac{72}{90}\\\\=0.32

Thus, the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license is 0.32.
