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

PLZ HELP WORTH A LOT OF POINTS AND I HAVE 10 MINUTES!!!!
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The area after 9 years will be 1,234 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating what the area of a certain forest that decreases at a certain percentage would be after some years.

To answer this question, we shall be using an exponential approximation.

Now, to use this exponential approximation, we shall be needing a supporting exponential mathematical equation.

This can be written as;

A = I(1-r)^t

where A is the new area we are looking for

I is the initial area which is 1700 according to the question

r is the rate of decrease which is 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035

t is time which is 9 years according to the question

We plug these values and have the following;

A = 1700(1-0.035)^9

A = 1700(0.965)^9

A = 1,233.66

This is 1,234 km^2 to the nearest square kilometer
