At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.90 . On Monday, 159 tickets were sold for a total sales

frez [133]

C = child tickets
a = adult tickets

Solve this with the substitution method.
Make two equations:

6.30c + 9.90a = 1,246.50
c + a = 159

Solve for c.
Subtract 9.90a from both sides.

6.30c = 1,246.50 - 9.90a
Divide both sides by 6.30.

c = 197.86 - 1.57a (rounded to hundredths)
Plug c into second equation.

197.86 - 1.57a + a = 159
Combine like terms.

197.86 - 0.57a = 159
Subtract 197.86 from both sides.

-0.57a = -38.86
Divide both sides by -0.57.

a = 68.18
round up to ones: 68

 $\boxed {68~adult~tickets}$ were sold.

Answer:

14) false

15) false

Step-by-step explanation:

14) 120% of a positive whole number is always greater than the number. If the number is 1, 120% of it would give us 1.2 which is greater than 1. However if the number is a negative whole number, 120% of it would give us a smaller number. Let's try -1. 120% of -1 would give us -1.2, which is smaller than -1. Hence the statement is false.

15) 0.5% of a number is 0.5/100 of the number so we should multiply the number by 5/1000. 5/100 is only 5% of the number. Hence the statement is also false.

Solve for x: 14-14x^1/3 =2

zmey [24]

Answer: 216/343 or 0.6297

Step-by-step explanation:

$14-14x^{1/3} = 2\\14 -2 = 14x^{1/3}\\12 = 14x^{1/3}\\\frac{12}{14} =x^{1/3}\\\frac{6}{7} =x^{1/3}\\(\frac{6}{7})^3 =(x^{1/3})^3\\\frac{6^3}{7^3} =x\\\\\frac{216}{343} = 0.629737609 = x$
