1 answer:
Answer:
42 adults and 196 children went to the zoo
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of adults
y ----> the number of children
we know that
The total bill for the 238 people from a school trip was $1330
so
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is the point (42,196)
see the attached figure
therefore
42 adults and 196 children went to the zoo

Answer:
66
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are <em>n</em> students, then the number of pairs is .
With 12 students, pairs can be formed.
The reason the formula works is this: Each of the 12 students can be paired with 11 other students (no student is paired with him/her self). But counting 12 x 11 = 132 counts each pair <u>twice</u>. Example: student A can be paired with student B,..., student B can be paired with student A. The pair was counted two times.
See the attached image that shows pairings of 5 students. There are
5(5 - 1)/2 = 5(4)/2 = 10 pairs.
