A group of 3 adults and 5 children pay a total of 52$ for movie tickets

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • $9 adult
  • $5 child

Step-by-step explanation:

Letting "a" and "c" represent the costs of adult tickets and child tickets, the problem statement gives us two relations:

  3a +5c = 52

  2a +4c = 38

__

We can solve this system of equations using "elimination" as follows:

Dividing the first equation by 2 we get

  a +2c = 19

Multiplying this by 3 and subtracting the first equation eliminates the "a" variable and tells us the price of a child ticket:

  3(a +2c) -(3a +4c) = 3(19) -(52)

  c = 5 . . . . . . collect terms

  a +2·5 = 19 . . substitute for c in the 3rd equation above

  a = 9 . . . . . . subtract 10

One adult ticket costs $9; one child ticket costs $5.

Rosa's test scores are 78, 92, 88, and 89. What must she score on her next test to have an average of 90? A) 95 B) 97 C) 99 D) 1
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the score on her next test

\frac{78 + 92 + 88 + 89 + x}{5} = 90

(5)\frac{78 + 92 + 88 + 89 + x}{5} = (5)90

78 + 92 + 88 + 89 + x = 5(90)

                      347 + x = 450

                    <u> -347      </u>   <u>-347 </u>

                                x = 103
