Answer:

  • A: 24,500
  • B: 14,300
  • C: 10,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Section A seats comprise half the seats in the stadium, so revenue from those seats at a sold-out event will total ...

  $28 × 49,000/2 = $686,000

Then the remaining revenue of $1,037,200 -686,000 = $351,200 will come from some mix of B and C seats.

__

If all of the seats were C seats, the revenue would be ...

  $12 × 24,500 = $294,000

Actual revenue from those seats is $351,200 -294,000 = $57,200 more. Since each B seat contributes $4 more, there must be ...

  $57,200 / $4 = 14,300 . . . . B-section seats

Then the number of C-section seats is 24,500 -14,300 = 10,200.

There are 24,500 Section A seats, 14,300 Section B seats, and 10,200 Section C seats.

_____

You could write 3 equations in 3 unknowns and get the same answer.

  a + b + c = 49000 . . . . . where a, b, c are numbers of seats in A, B, and C

  a - b - c = 0

  28a +16b +12c = 1037200

The solution by your favorite method is (a, b, c) = (24500, 14300, 10200), as above.

What is the product in simplest form? −611⋅34
Anton [14]

<u>Correct Question:</u>

What is the product in simplest form?

    -\frac{6}{11} \times \frac{3}{4}

<u>Answer:</u>

-\frac{9}{22} is the product in simplest form

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We can find the simplest form of solving two fractions. So, to make the fractions multiplication simple, multiply two fractions in the numerator and divide it by the denominators of the two fractions. In the given case,

                    -\frac{6}{11} \times \frac{3}{4}

To simplify, multiply both 6 and 3 in numerator and multiply 11 and 4 in denominator of two fractions. So, we get

                    -\frac{18}{44}

To simplify the above, divide 18 and 44 by their greatest common factor, which is 2. By doing this, we get

                    -\frac{9}{22}

When I use a coordinate plane and i'm on the bottom left ...which number would i put first the one on the x axis or the one on t
Serga [27]

Answer:

(-x, -y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom left of the coordinate plane, or quartile 3, is to the left of the x axis origin and below the y axis origin. The x axis and the y axis are merely number lines. To the left of zero are the negatives, and to the right are positives. X is always first, so it would be (-x, -y).
