SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of any shape is the distance around the edge of the shape. It is found by adding the side lengths of each side together.

Add each side length listed for the triangle part.

$P = 2\frac{1}{2} + 3\frac{1}{4} + 5 \\P = 2\frac{2}{4} + 3\frac{1}{4} + 5\\P = 10 \frac{3}{4}$

The admission fee at a water park is $12.50 for children and $25.00 for adults On a certain day 352 people entered the park and

N76 [4]

Answer:

Children = 137

Adults = 215

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission fee at a water park is $12.50 for children

and $25.00 for adults.

On a certain day, 352 people entered the park and the admission fees collected totalled $6,687.50

Let the number of children admitted be x ,

and the number of adults admitted be y.

This forms a simultaneous equation:

x + y = 352 ... (i)

$12.50x + $25.00y = $6,687.50 ... (ii)

Multiplyng (i) by 12.50 and (ii) by 1 we get;

12.5x + 12.5y = 4400 ... (i)

12.5x + 25y = 6,687.5 ... (ii)

Subtracting (ii) - (i) we get;

12.5y = 2687.5

y = 215

So the number of adults admitted = 215

And the number of children admitted = 352 - 215 = 137
