Answer:

  • 124 children
  • 200 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works well to let a variable represent quantity of the highest-value contributor. Here, that is the quantity of adult tickets.

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then (324-a) is the number of admission fees for children. The total revenue is ...

  5.40a +2.50(324 -a) = 1390

  2.90a +810 = 1390 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  2.90a = 580 . . . . . . . . . subtract 810

  a = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2.90

The number of children admitted was 124; the number of adults admitted was 200.

Answer: number of children equals 124

number of adults equals 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that were admitted.

Let y represent the number of adults that were admitted.

On a certain day, 324 people entered the park. It means that

x + y = 324- - - - - - - - - - - 1

The admission fee at an amusement park is $2.50 for children and $5.40 for adults. The admission fees collected totaled $1390. It means that

2.5x + 5.4y = 1390- - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 324 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(324 - y) + 5.4y = 1390

810 - 2.5y + 5.4y = 1390

- 2.5y + 5.4y = 1390 - 810

2.9x = 580

x = 580/2.9

x = 200

x = 324 - y = 324 - 200

x = 124

I believe Hector is correct

Explanation: for every 1 hour the income is $10, therefore working 32 hours will give you $320 as Hector stated, while working 18 hours will not give you $160 as Hannah stated, it will give you $180

What is the change from -9 to -1?.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Positive 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they're both negative numbers and it went from -9 to -1, you had to have added a positive number to get a lesser negative number. To put it simply, if you were to subtract 8 from 9, you'd get 1.

How many sides does a regular polygon have if each exterior angle has a measure of 15 degrees? (Show work!!)
ad-work [718]
The answer is 24 sides
because the total amount of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360.
so if each exterior angle has a measure of 15:
360 \div 15 = 24

Based only on the information given in the diagram, which congruence theorems or postulates could be given as reasons why DEF=JK
NISA [10]

Answer:

A) AAS; B) LA; C) ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

AAS is the Angle-Angle-Side congruence statement.  It says that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  In these triangles, ∠E≅∠K, ∠F≅∠L, and DE≅JK.  These are two angles and a non-included side; this is AAS.

LA is the leg-acute theorem.  It states that if a leg and acute angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

The leg we have congruent from each triangle is DE and JK.  We also have ∠E≅∠K and ∠F≅∠L, both pairs of which are acute.  This is the LA theorem.

ASA is the Angle-Side-Angle congruence statement.  It says that if two angles and an included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  

We have that ∠D≅∠J, DE≅JK and ∠E≅∠K.  This gives us two angles and an included side, or ASA.
