John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each general admission = $50

Cost of each VIP ticket = $55

Total tickets sold = 29

Total revenue generated = $1505

Let,

x represent the number of general admission tickets sold

y represent the number of VIP tickets.

x+y=29 Eqn 1

50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

$50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18$

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Which measure of center best represents this set of data? Number of television sets in the home: 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4 *

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Data: 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4$

Required

Best measure of center

The mean is considered the best measure of center when there are no outliers in the given data.

Outlier is when a particular data set is far away from other datasets.

For instance: 20 is an outlier in the following data sets: $4, 4, 2, 20, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4$

Also, the given data are not open-ended.

An open-ended data is as follows: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5\ or\ more$

Since we do not have any of the above conditions, then the mean is the best center to use.

3x - 3y = -3 2x - y = -5

Korolek [52]

For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

$3x-3y = -3\\2x-y = -5$

To solve we follow the steps below:

We multiply the second equation by -3:

$-6x + 3y = 15$

Thus, we have the equivalent system:

$3x-3y = -3\\-6x + 3y = 15$

We add the equations:

$3x-6x-3y + 3y = -3 + 15\\-3x = -3 + 15\\-3x = 12\\x = \frac {12} {- 3}\\x = -4$

We look for the value of the variable "y":

$2 (-4) -y = -5\\-8-y = -5\\-y = -5 + 8\\-y = 3\\y = -3$

Thus, the solution of the system is given by:

$(x, y): (- 4, -3)$

Answer:

$(x, y): (- 4, -3)$

8 x y =369 y = ? y x 9 = 63 y = 6 + y =?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

1. 46.125

Step-by-step explanation: Is your second one in the right format? I don't understand what it is asking. For the first one, however, you need to free the y being multiplied to 8 and so you are going to undo it by dividing 369 by 8.

Wilfred is feeding his goats. He gives 56% of the bag of feed to the goats in field A and the rest to the goats in field B. If t

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$Feeds = 11.76kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Field\ A= 56\%$

$Field\ B= The\ rest$

$Bag = 21kg\ feed$

Required

Determine how much goats in field A, get.

To do this, we simply multiply the percentage feed received by goats in field A by the actual bags of feeds

i.e.

$Feeds = 56\% * 21kg$

Convert percentage to decimal

$Feeds = 0.56 * 21kg$

$Feeds = 11.76kg$

Hence, goats in field A get 11.76kg of feeds
