Answer:the number of adult tickets that were sold is 160

the number of students tickets that were sold is $125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of students tickets that were sold.

A total of 285 tickets are sold. This means that

x + y = 285

Adult tickets are $4 and student tickets are $1. A total of 285 tickets are sold for $765. This mean that

4x + y = 765 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 285 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(285 - y) + y = 765

1140 - 4y + y = 765

- 4y + y = 765 - 1140

- 3y = - 375

y = - 375/-3 = 125

Substituting y = 125 into x = 285 - y, it becomes

x =285 - 125 = 160 tickets

A florist is arranging flowers in vases. There are 4 red flowers and 5 white flowers in every vase. The florist wants to make on
vichka [17]

There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of red flowers in vase = 4

No. of white flowers in vase = 5

Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 4:5

No. of red flowers in large arrangement = 32

No. of white flowers in large arrangement = w

Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 32:w

Using proportion;

Ratio of red flowers to white flowers :: Ratio of red flowers to white flowers

4:5::32:w

Product of extreme = Product of mean

4*w=32*5\\4w=160

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4w}{4}=\frac{160}{4}\\w=40

Total flowers in large arrangement = Red flowers + white flowers

Total flowers in large arrangement = 32 + 40 =72

There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4164.69504π

Step-by-step explanation:

So the volume of a cone is πr^2 * h / 3

r = 15.072 / π

h = 55

15.072 / π squared * π = 227.165184π

227.165184π * 55 / 3 = 4164.69504π
