Answer: 217 children and 264 adults swam in the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that used the public swimming pool that day.

Let y represent the number of adults that used the public swimming pool that day.

On a certain hot summer day,481 people used the public swimming pool. This means that

x + y = 481

The daily prices are 1.25 for children and 2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled 865.25. This means that

1.25x + 2.25y = 865.25 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 481 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.25(481 - y) + 2.25y = 865.25

601.25 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 865.25

- 1.25y + 2.25y = 865.25 - 601.25

y = 264

x = 481 - y = 481 - 264

x = 217

Answer:

The number of children =X=217

The number of adults=264

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say the number of children are denoted by X

Then the number of adults are (481-X)

Price for children =1.25X

Price for adults=2.25(481-X)

Price for children +Price for adults=865.25

1.25X+2.25(481-X)=865.25

Solving for X:

1.25X+1082.25-2.25X=865.25

-X=865.25-1082.25

-X=-217

X=217

The number of children =X=217

The number of adults=(481-X)

The number of adults=(481-217)

The number of adults=264

Find the surface area of the triangular prism (above) using its net (below).
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

96 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

  • The length of the large rectangle is: 5
  • The width of the large rectangle is: 7

=> Area of the large rectangle = length × width  = 7*5 = 35 square units

  • The length of the middle rectangle is: 7
  • The width of the middle rectangle is: 4

=> Area of the middle rectangle = length × width  = 7*4 = 28 square units

  • The length of the small rectangle is: 7
  • The width of the small rectangle is: 3            

=> Area of the small rectangle = length × width  = 7*3 = 21 square units

Area of top and the bottom triangles =2* \frac{1}{2}bh  = 4*3 =12  

Total surface area = 35 + 28 + 21 + 12 = 96 square units
