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

Seven times a number decreased by three-fourths of the same number is 25. What is the number?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

103/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

Equation:-

7x - 3/4 = 25

7x = 25 + 3/4

7x = 100/4 + 3/4

7x = 103/4

x = 103/(4 x 7)

x = 103/28

If a student was randomly guessing while completing a 20 question multiple choice exam, what is the probability they would score
mario62 [17]

Answer:

you want 4 correct and 16 incorrect

there are 20 questions

each question has four answers, so

P(right answer) = 1/4

P(wrong answer) = 3/4

----

Since you want 4 correct of 20 we have a combination of 20C4

This is a binomial problem where p = 1/4, q = 3/4 and we get

(20 "choose" 4)*(probability correct)^(number correct)*(probability incorrect)^(number incorrect)

putting numbers in we get

(20c4)*(1/4)^4*(3/4)^16

This gives us

~ .189685
