Answer:

  $4

Step-by-step explanation:

The two purchases can be written in terms of the cost of an adult ticket (a) and the cost of a student ticket (s):

  7a +16s = 120 . . . . . . . . price for the first purchase

  13a +9s = 140 . . . . . . . . price for the second purchase

Using Cramer's rule, the value of s can be found as ...

  s = (120·13 -140·7)/(16·13 -9·7) = 580/145 = 4

The cost of a student ticket is $4.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

Cramer's rule is particularly useful for systems that don't have "nice" numbers that would make substitution or elimination easy methods to use. If you locate the numbers in the equation, you can see the X-patterns that are used to compute the numerator and denominator differences.

The value of a is (16·140 -9·120)/(same denominator) = 1160/145 = 8. I wanted to show you these numbers so you could see the numerator X-pattern for the first variable.

Of course, graphical methods can be quick and easy, too.

An actor invests some money at 9​% simple​ interest, and ​$24,000 more than three times the amount at 10​% simple interest. The
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The amount invested at 9% is $93000

The amount invested at 10% is $303000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested at 9% interest rate be x

And the amount invested at 10% rate be y

Simple Interest from x in a year = 0.09x

Simple Interest from y in a year = 0.1y

But y = 24000 + 3x

And the sun of the interests, 0.09x + 0.1y = 38670

Now we have a simultaneous eqn

y = 24000 + 3x (eqn 1)

0.09x + 0.1y = 38670 (eqn)

Substitute y into eqn 2

0.09x + 0.1(24000 + 3x) = 38670

0.09x + 2400 + 0.3x = 38670

0.39x = 38670 - 2400

x = 36270/0.39 = $93000

y = 24000 + 3x = 24000 + 3 × 93000 = $303000

3241004551 [841]
There are 10 seniors in the class, from which 4 should be chosen by the teacher. The order of the chosen students does not matter. This means that we speak of combinations. THe equation for calculating the number of possible combinations is:
C=N!/R!(N-R), where N is the total number of objects and R is the number of objects we select from the N 
In our case, N=10, R=4.
C= 10!/4!*6!=10*9*8*7*6!/6!*4*3*2*1=<span>10*9*8*7/24=5040/24=210
There are 210 different ways for the teacher to choose 4 seniors in no particular order.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is given by ...

  C = πd

  C = (3.14)(4 yd) = 12.56 yd

The area is given in terms of diameter by ...

  A = (π/4)d²

  A = (3.14/4)(4 yd)² = 12.56 yd²
