Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.

Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:

20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2

where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:

20×2 = 2.5 × x

Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).

We would then have:

20×2
------- = x
2.5

Which then simplifies to:

x = 16

Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)

A museum sold 95 tickets for $1,025. Each adult ticket was $15, and each child ticket was $7. Let a represent the number of adul
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a + c = 95........eq1

15a + 7c = 1,025....eq2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of ticket sold = 95

Total amount collected = $1,025

Price of each adult ticket = $15

Price of each child ticket = $7

Computation:

Number of adult tickets sold = a

Number of child tickets sold = c

So,

Number of adult tickets sold + Number of child tickets sold = Total number of ticket sold

a + c = 95........eq1

and

15a + 7c = 1,025....eq2

We know that <span>the given side lengths are x and the height is x. 

Therefore, the area of the base = </span> A = x * x 

Formula =\ \textgreater \  volume = length*width*height&#10;

To \ find \ the \ volume \ of \ 1  \ slab, \ multiply \ by \ the \ height x -3 

= x*x*(x-3) 

Volume \ of \ 25 \ slabs = 25*x^2*(x-3)=350000 

350,000/25 = 14,000<span>
</span>
x^3 - 3x^2 - 14000<span>
</span>
= 25.14
<span>
</span>&#10;Rounded => x=25
