Answer:

The number of tickets purchased costing $21 each = 18

The number of tickets purchased costing $ 27 each = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of tickets purchased = 29

Here, let us assume that:

The number of tickets purchased costing $21 = m

The number of tickets purchased costing $ 27 = 29 - m

So, now the cost of m tickets costing $21 each = m x ( $21) = 21 m

Also, the cost of purchasing ( 29-m) tickets costing $27 each

= (29-m)x $27 = 783 - 27 m

Also, the total cost of purchasing 29 tickets = $ 675

⇒ The total cost of m tickets + (29- m ) tickets = $ 675

or, 21 m + 783 - 27 m = 675

⇒ - 6 m = 675 - 783 = -108

or, m 108/6 = 18

⇒ m = 18

Hence the number of tickets purchased costing $21 each = m = 18

The number of tickets purchased costing $ 27 each = 29 - m

= 29 - 18 = 11

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 2 feet. Which of the following should be done first in order to find the vol

zvonat [6]

The significant components, the radius and the height, are in inches and feet respectively, you'd need to convert them both to the same unit, whichever it may be, meters or feet or inches or millimeters, so long is the same, then use the volume of a cylinder equation to get it.

A price is decreased from £800 to £640. Calculate the percentage change.

Anni [7]

There is a decrease of 20% from ÂŁ800 to ÂŁ640.

A change from 800 to 640 represents a negative change (decrease) of -20% Using the formula :

Percent change = [(800 - 640) / 800] x 100 = -20 % (decrease)

800 is the old value and 640 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -20 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.

James invested $300 in a bank account that earns simple interest. He earns $24 at the end of 12 months. James invests $500 at th

NARA [144]

Answer: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

The key formula to use for this problem is the simple interest formula, which is $I=prt$ ; where I is the interest earned, p is the principal (initial) amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time that passes.

Since we know that both investments have the same interest rate, we can use the information from the first part of the problem to solve for the interest rate. Using algebra, we can rearrange the simple interest formula to solve for the interest rate: $r=I/pt$ . We know that our interest earned is $24 and our principal amount is $300. To make things easier, we'll also convert months to years, which is easy to do since we know that 12 months = 1 year. This gives us our value for the amount of time that passes. Now, all we have to do is plug in our values into the rearranged equation above.

We should now have: $r=\frac{24}{300*1}=0.08$

Now, to find the interest earned from the $500 investment, we just need to plug in our values from the second part of the problem, along with our calculated interest rate of 0.08, into the original formula of $I=prt$

This should result in $I=500*0.08*1=40$

Therefore, James will receive $40 on his $500 investment after 12 months.
