Answer: adult ticket cost $51.5

Children's ticket cost $1.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one adult ticket.

Let y represent the cost of one children's ticket.

Three adults and four children must pay $159. This means that

3x + 4y = 159 - - - - - - -1

Two adults and three children must pay $112. This means that

2x + 3y = 112 - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x + 8y = 318 - - - - - - - -3

6x + 24y = 336 - - - - - - -4

Subtracting equation 4 from equation 3, it becomes

-16y = -18

y = -18/-16 = 1.125

Substituting y = 1.125 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 4×1.125 = 159

3x + 4.5 = 159

3x = 159 - 4.5 = 154.5

x = 154.5/3 = 51.5

The courtyard outside East Middle School is in the shape of a rectangle and half-circle.
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is the third one counting from the top. (5892 m^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to remember that:

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is:

A = L*W

For a circle of diameter D, the area is:

A = pi*(D/2)^2

Where pi = 3.14

In the image, we can see a rectangle and half a circle, the total area of the image will be equal to the area of the rectangle plus the area of the half circle.

In the image, we can see a rectangle of length L = 100m and width W = 50m

Then the area of the rectangle is:

A = 100m*50m = 5000m^2

And we can see that for the half-circle the diameter is D = 50m

Note that the area of a half-circle is half of the area of a complete circle, then the area of that half-circle is:

A = (1/2)*(3.14*(50m/2)^2) = 981.25 m^2

If we add these two areas we get:

Total area =  5000m^2 + 981.25 m^2 = 5981.25 m^2

If we round it up, we get:

Total area = 5982 m^2

The correct option is the third one counting from the top.
