Answer: An adult ticket cost $12

A child ticket cost $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price for one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price for one child ticket.

A movie theater sold 4 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets for $83 on Friday. It means that

4x + 7y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The next day the theater sold 5 adult tickets and 6 children tickets for $90. It means that

5x + 6y = 90 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes

20x + 35y = 415

20x + 24y = 360

Subtracting, it becomes

11y = 55

y = 55/11 = 5

Substituting y = 5 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 7 × 5 = 83

4x + 35 = 83

4x = 83 - 35 = 48

x = 48/4 = 12

a group raised $276 for its favorite charity. this is 23% of the amount it hopes to raise. how much money does the group want to
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: The group wants to raise $1,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve.

part/whole = percent/100

If we insert the values:

276/x = 23/100

We can cross multiply.

276 x 100 = 27,600

27,600 / 23 = 1,200

$1,200 is the answer.

What is 36 percent of 210?
ohaa [14]

Hey there!

Let's start by finding what 1% of 210 is.

This can be done by dividing 210 by 100, since 1% is the same as 1/100 of something.

210 ÷ 100 = 2.1

To find 36%, we can multiply 2.1 by 36.

2.1 x 36 = 75.6

So, 36% of 201 is 75.6.

Hope this helps!

How to identify the parent function given an equation ?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

You can identify the parent function by making the equation into its simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove all transformations from the equation (such as plus/minus signs, constants, and extra terms in the equation).  

ex. y= -3x^2+15

The parent function would be y=x^2 after removing everything.

Hope this helps! :)

A rectangular plot of land is to be enclosed by a fence. One side is along a river, and does not need to be enclosed. If the tot
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Width 150 meters.

Length = 350 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the  width of  the fence = k meters

So, both sides = k + k = 2k meters

Also, the TOTAL fencing length = 600 m

So, the one side length of the fence = (600 - 2 k) meters

AREA = LENGTH x WIDTH

⇒ A(k)  = (600 - 2k) (k)

or, A =  -2k² + 600 k

The above equation is of the form: ax² +bx +  C

Here: a  = - 2 , b = 600 and C = 0

As a< 0, the parabola opens DOWNWARDS.

Here, x value is given as:  x = \frac{-b}{2a}

Solving for the value of k similarly, we get:

k = \frac{-b}{2a}  = \frac{600}{2(-2)}  = 150

Thus the desired width = k = 150 meters

So, the desired dimensions of the plot  is width 150 meters.

And length = 650 - 2k = 650 - 300 = 350 meters.
