Answer:

342.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adults and y represent the number of senior citizens.

We have been given that on a recent weekend evening 514 people paid for the admission. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+y=514...(1)

We have been given that the Family Fine Arts Center charges $20 per adult and $13 per senior citizen for its performances.

The cost of x adult tickets would be 20x and cost of y senior citizen tickets would be 13y.

We are also told that total receipts were $7886 on a recent weekend evening. We can represent this information in an equation as:

20x+13y=7,886...(2)

From equation (1), we will get:

We can represent this information in an equation as:

x=514-y

Substitute this value in equation (2) as:

20(514-y)+13y=7,886

10,280-20y+13y=7,886

10,280-7y=7,886

10,280-10,280-7y=7,886-10,280

-7y=-2394

\frac{-7y}{-7}=\frac{-2394}{-7}

y=342

Therefore, 342 senior citizens paid for the art center.

In a candy mix there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars. How many red bars are there if there are 200 green bars
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Since there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars and we are trying to find the number of red bars if there are 200 green bars, we can create the ratio:

4 x : 3 y

Where  x  is equal to the number of green bars and  y is the number of red bars.

We know the number of green bars is equal to 200, so we can divide it by 4, giving us:

200 /4=50

Then we can solve for  y , the number of red bars.

// Multiple y  by 50

3 ⋅ 50 = 150

So for every 4 green bars, there are 3 red bars.

For every 200 green bars, there are 150 red bars
