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

What’s the missing angle <br> ?
fomenos

Answer:

x=20

3x= 3(20)=60

4x= 4(20)=80

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles CD is 90 degrees because the small square indicates

it. Angles AD are a straight angle, therefore all the other angles within A to D, must equal 180 degree. (straight line/angle=180 degrees).

so AB + 70+ 90= 180 degrees

AB= 180 -70-90

AB=20

x=20

3x= 3(20)=60

4x= 4(20)=80

Two similar pyramids have base areas of 12.2 cm2 and 16 cm2. The surface area of the larger pyramid is 56 cm2. What is the surfa
docker41 [41]

Given =

Two similar pyramid have base area of 12.2 cm² and 16 cm².

surface area of the larger pyramid = 56 cm²

find out the surface area of the smaller pyramid

To proof =

Let us assume that the surface  area of the smaller pyramid be x.

as surface area of the larger pyramid is 56 cm²

Two similar pyramid have base area of 12.2 cm² and 16 cm².

by using ratio and proportion

we have

ratio of the base area of the pyramids : ratio of the surface area  of the pyramids

\frac{12.2}{16} : \frac{x}{56}

x = 12.2 ×56×\frac{1}{16}

by solvingthe above terms

we get

x =42.7cm²

Hence the surface area of the smaller pyramid be 42.7cm²

Hence proved

What is the square of one half?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

One-half squared is one-fourth.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide fractions, you multiply the first term by the reciprocal of the second term. In this example, instead of multiplying 1/2 by 1/4, you now multiply 1/2 by 4. Therefore, one half is equal to 2 fourths.
