Answer:

The price of one adult ticket = $13

The price of one student ticket = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x

Let the price of 1 student ticket = y

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 12 adult tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $196.

12 × x + 10 × y = $196

12x + 10y = 196....... Equation 1

The school took in $59 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 5 student tickets

3 × x + 5 × y = $59

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2

Using Elimination method

We eliminate y, by Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and Equation 2 by 10

12x + 10y = 196....... Equation 1 × 5

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2 × 10

60x + 50y = 980....... Equation 3

30x + 50y = 590......... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

30x = 390

x = 390/30

x = $13

Therefore, the price of one adult ticket = $13

Remember: x = $13

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2

Substitute

3(13) + 5y = 59

39 + 5y = 59

5y = 59 - 39

5y = 20

y = 20/5

y = $4

Therefore, the price of one student ticket = $4

if 7 men and 5 womean have applied for job and 3 applicants are randomly selected from the probability that 2 are men​
barxatty [35]

The  probability that 2 men are selected is 49/144

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

If 7 men and 5 women have applied for job, the total number of people that applied will be 12 people

  • Pr(2 men are selected) = 7/12 * 7/12
  • Pr(2 men are selected) = 49/144

Hence the  probability that 2 men are selected is 49/144

A collection of 108 coins containing only quarters and nickels is worth $21.
Rudiy27

Answer:

The value could replace q is 108 - n ⇒ the last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the values of quarters and nickles

- One quarter = 25 cents

- One nickle = 5 cents

- The number of coins is 108

- The coins are nickles or quarters only

- The coins worth $ 21

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The number of coins is 108 coins

- Let the quarter is q and the nickel is n

∴ q + n = 108 ⇒ (1)

∵ The coins worth $21

∵ $ 1 = 100 cents

∴ $21 = 21 × 100 = 2100 cents

∵ The quarter = 25 cents

∵ The nickels = 5 cents

∴ 25q + 5n = 2100 ⇒ (2)

- To find the value which replace q use equation (1)

∵ q + n = 108 ⇒ subtract n from both sides

∴ q = 108 - n

* The value could replace q is 108 - n
