Answer:

  • 455 adult tickets
  • 884 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...

  5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159

  4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms

  a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold

  (1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold

455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.

A chemist has 100 g of a 15% saline solution that she wants to strengthen to 29%. The percentage P of salt in the solution by ma
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D., x= 19.7 or ≈20. g

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

When 0 g additional salt is added, x=0. we have

P(0) = [100(15+0)]/(100+0)= 15

x=0, P=15

We can see this point only on the graph D.

P(x) =29 = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

29 = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

29(100+x) = 100(15+x)

2900+29x = 1500+100x

2900-1500=100x-29x

1400 = 71x

x ≈ 19.7 g  or ≈20. g

From the graph D, we can see that to get 29% we need to add ≈ 20 g of salt.
