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.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 centimeters. The base is 2 times the height. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
andrezito [222]
C) is the correct answer because since the base is 2 times the height, this means that the base is larger than the height. And when u look at c, and u add up all the sides( 10+10+20+20) you get the perimeter, 60 cm

MAY DAY MAY DAY, HELP
Pavlova-9 [17]

Have you heard the expressions "shooting fish in a barrel" or
"taking candy from a baby" ?

I've decided to take your points and try not to feel guilty about it.

A).  That's it !  That's the equation, for ANY basketball on Earth. 
You wrote it right there in your question.

In that equation that you wrote, the ' r ' is the initial velocity. 
You said that Adam tossed it straight up, and it was going 10 meters per second
   when it left his hand. 
So ' r ' in the equation is +10.
The equation is:
                             <em>d = 10t - 5t²  </em>  .
It tells you how high the ball is above its tossing height after any number of seconds.
The ' t ' in the equation is the number of seconds.  Any letter could have been used,
but ' t ' was cleverly selected because it stands for 'time'.

B).  You want to know where it is after 0.5 second ?    All you have to do is put '0.5'
into the equation wherever there's a ' t '.  Do you really need somebody to do that
for you ?

Well, OK.  You're being so overly generous with your points . . .

         Distance = 10 t - 5 t²

         Distance = 10 (0.5) - 5 (0.5)²

         Distance =     5       - 5(0.25)

         Distance =     5       -  1.25

         <em>Distance =        3.75 meters </em>

                                <u>positive</u> 3.75 means <u>above</u> Adam's hand. 

A thinking exercise:
-- He tossed the ball upwards at  10  meters per second.
-- Why is it not  5  meters above his hands after  0.5  second?
