Answer:

23 child tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given, we can set up an equation to solve for the number of child tickets sold.  Since there were three times as many adult tickets as child tickets sold, we can assign the variable 'x' to represent the number of child tickets and '3x' to represent the number of adult tickets.  Since we know the cost of each ticket, as well as the total sales, we can set up the following equation:

5.20x + 9.70(3x) = 788.90

Simplify 5.20x + 29.1x = 788.90

Combine like terms:  34.3x = 788.90

Divide both sides by 34.3:  x = 23 child tickets

The graph below shows the relationship between pounds of dog food and total cost, in dollars, for the dog food. A coordinate gra
n200080 [17]

We know that x-axis represents weight of dog food in pounds

AND y-axis represents Total cost in dollars

AND a line connects (0,0) and (10,5)

Based on the information we can plot a graph that can be seen in the attached image. The line represents y = \frac{x}{2}

Now, let's look at each of the statements to see which is true and which is false:

A) Point (0, 0) shows the cost is $0 for 0 pound of dog food.

(0,0) indicates that the cost for 0 pound dog food is $0. Hence, this statement is true.

B) Point (1, 0.5) shows the cost is $1.00 for 0.5 pound of dog food.

(1,0.5) indicates that the cost for 1 pound dog food is $0.5. Hence, this statement is false.

C) Point (2, 1) shows that 2 pounds of dog food cost $1.

(2,1) indicates that the cost for 2 pounds dog food is $1. Hence, this statement is true.

D) Point (4, 2) shows the cost is $4 for 2 pounds of dog food.

(4,2) indicates that the cost for 4 pounds dog food is $2. Hence, this is false.

E) Point (10, 5) shows that 10 pounds of dog food costs $5

(10,5) indicates the cost for 10 pounds dog food is $5. Hence, this is true.
