Answer:

adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults

Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write

x + y = 26 → (1)

Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write

5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides

y = 26 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)

5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side

5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194

- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )

- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 9

Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 26 - 9 = 17

Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17

number of children tickets sold = 9

Find the perimeter of the figure
SashulF [63]
To solve this, find the rest of the sides:

The other sides are:

1. 24 - 8 = 16
2. 23 - 9 = 14

Next, just add it up:

24 + 9 + 16 + 14 + 8 + 23 = 33 + 30 + 31 = 94

Find the common fraction equivalent to 0.12
jonny [76]
The answer is:  " \frac{4}{33} "  .
______________________________
Given:  0.1212121212..... repeating ;  write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given:  "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;  

→ that is to say; "0.12 ...  ;  {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ; 
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as:  "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________ 


Note:  "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely;  =  "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:

Let us say that we have: 

"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;  

In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ;  the "9" decimal repeats infinitely; 
_____________________________________________________
   Then "10x" ;  (that is: "10" multlipled by "x";  or "10*x" or "10x" );  is equal to:

"10" * (0.999999.....)  = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);

in other words:  10x = 9.99999999....

Divide each side by "10" ;

to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;

But if you have:  "10x = 10" ;  divide each side of the equation by "10" ; 
   you get: "x = 1" . 
____________________
Also,  if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely); 

then:  10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
           10x  =  9.999999999999999......
       −     x  =  0.999999999999999.......
    _____________________________________
            9x  =  9.00000000000000000000.....

 →  9x = 9 ; 

Divide each side of the equation; to get; 

 9x /9 = 9/ 9 ;  to get:  x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ;  so
  x= 0.99999.... = 1 ; 
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ; 
  that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ;  since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
            So;  0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);            
                   
=  12/99 ;  which can be simplified;

Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
  " 12/99 "  =  "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
_________________________________________
The answer is:  \frac{4}{33}  .
