At a local Brownsville play production, 560 tickets were sold. The ticket prices varied on the seating arrangements and cost $8,

$10, or $12. The total income from ticket sales reached $5320. If the combined number of $8 and $10 priced tickets sold was 7 times the number of $12 tickets sold, how many tickets of each type were sold?

Answer:

Number of $8 tickets sold = 210

Number of $10 tickets sold = 280

Number of $12 tickets sold = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ticket sold is 560 tickets .

Total number of ticket sold = 560 tickets

The prices varies as $8, $10 and $12.

The total income from the ticket sold = $5320

Let

number of $8 ticket sold = a

number of $10 ticket sold = b

number of $12 ticket sold = c

a + b = 7c

Therefore,

8a + 10b + 12c = 5320

a + b + c = 560

7c + c = 560

8c = 560

divide both sides by 8

c = 560/8

c = 70

Insert the value of c in the equations below

8a + 10b + 12c = 5320

8a + 10b + 12(70) = 5320

8a + 10b + 840 = 5320

8a + 10b = 5320 - 840

8a + 10b = 4480...........(i)

a + b + c = 560

a + b + 70 = 560

a + b = 560 - 70

a + b = 490...............(ii)

8a + 10b = 4480...........(i)

a + b = 490...............(ii)

a = 490 - b

insert the value of a in equation(i)

8(490 - b) + 10b = 4480

3920 - 8b + 10b = 4480

3920 + 2b = 4480

2b = 4480 - 3920

2b = 560

b = 560/2

b = 280

insert the value of b in equation (ii)

a + b = 490...............(ii)

a + 280 = 490

a = 490 - 280

a = 210

Number of $8 tickets sold = 210

Number of $10 tickets sold = 280

Number of $12 tickets sold = 70

“If a population is growing at a rate of 3% per year, how long will it take to double? Show work.”

LenaWriter [7]

24 yrs, might not be the answer

3%=0.03 you have to get to 6%=0.06

So you find the value of each month in 3%

So 3% divided by 12 months = 0.0025

Now you have the value of each month MULTIPLY until you get 0.06
So: 0.0025 x 1, 2, 3, 4,…….. and so forth

So the your result will be

0.0025per months x 24yrs = 0.06 = 6%

Justify the congruence between each of the following pairs of triangle.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Refer to the attachment for the labelling of the triangles.

In △ABC & △PQR,

∠A = ∠R (equal pair of angles)

∠B = ∠Q (equal pair of angles)

AC = PR (equal pair of sides)

•°• △ABC ≅ △RQP (Angle-Angle-Side congruence property → AAS property)

8. Is the following statement true or false? Justify your conclusion. If a and b are nonnegative real numbers and a + b =0, then

atroni [7]

Answer:

If $a + b = 0$ then $a = 0$ and $b =0$

a | b | a + b (answer)

0 | 0 | 0

0 | 1 | 1

0 | 2 | 2

1 | 0 | 1

2 | 0 | 2

1 | 1 | 2

2 | 1 | 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the following conditions for the real numbers:

$a\geq 0\\b\geq 0$

Following the rules of these in-equations, it is possible to deduce:

$a + b \geq 0$

Then, if the proposed statement is:

$a + b = 0$

The conditions above shall comply the requirements established, but first, analyzing the statement:

If $a \geq 0$ and $b \geq 0$ then $a + b \geq a$ , $a + b \geq b$ and $a + b \geq 0$ .

If $a = 0$ and b a non negative real number, then $a + b \geq b$ , but because to $a = 0$ , then $a + b = b$ . Due to the commutative property of sums, the same behavior will be presented if $b = 0$ and a a non negative real number.

According to that, if $a + b = 0$ , then $a = 0$ and $b = 0$ .
