Answer:

The total number of women (w)=800

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the total number of each group as follows;

Total number of people (p)=Number of Adults (a)+number of children (c)

2,500=a+c....equation 1

Number of Adults (a)=4×number of children (c)

a=4 c....equation 2

Replacing the value of a in equation 1 with the value for a in equation 2

2,500=4 c+c

5 c=2,500

c=2,500/5

c=500

Number of children (c)=500

Replace the value of c in equation 2 with 500 and solve

a=4×500

a=2,000

Number of adults (a)=2,000

But the total number of adults can be expressed as;

Total number of adults (a)=Total number of men (m)+total number of women (w)

a=m+w

where;

a=2,000

m=1,200

replacing;

2,000=1,200+w

w=2,000-1,200

w=800

The total number of women (w)=800

The owner of a baseball stadium found that he sells an average of 586 tickets to each game when he charges an average of $59 per
mina [271]

Given that the owner of a baseball stadium found that he sells an average of 586 tickets to each game when he charges an average of $59 per ticket.

So number of tickets = 586

Profit on 1 ticket = $59


Say price is increased once then new cost of ticket = 59+6

Say price is increased twice then new cost of ticket = 59+6*2

Say price is increased thrice then new cost of ticket = 59+6*3

In the same pattern

Say price is increased x-times then new cost of ticket = 59+6*x


In same pattern number of tickets sold will decrease by multiple of 4

Hence number of tickets sold  when cost is increased x-times = 586-4*x


Then profit when cost is increased x-times = (586-4*x) (59+6*x)


Let P(x) represents profit when price is increased x-times then the required function will be:

P(x)= (586-4x)(59+6x)


Hence final answer will be choice matching with P(x)= (586-4x)(59+6x)

Factor the linear expression: 15x + 6<br> A)2/5<br> B)-2/5<br> C)3(5x + 2) <br> D)5(3x + 6)
777dan777 [17]

We can see that the terms 15x and 6 share a common divisor, 3. By the Distributive Property, we can take the 3 out of both terms and set it in front of a set of parentheses containing the sum of the two terms. This would look like this:

15x + 6 = 3(5x + 2)


Thus, our answer is C, 3(5x + 2).
