A particular movie theater charges $ 9.00 per adult ticket and $ 3.5 0 per child ticket. Suppose 550 people attended a movie and

the total revenue from ticket sales was $ 3575 . Write two linear equations to represent a system to solve this, where x represents the number of adults attending the movie and y represents the number of children attending the movie. Write the equations, but do not solve them. The first equation must come from the information given about the total attendance and the second must come from the ticket prices and revenue. 1)= ? 2)= ?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = y

Number of adults = x

Total people = 550

x + y = 550 ------------------ (I)

Charge for 'y' children =3.50 * y = 3.5y

Charge for 'x' adult = 9 * x = 9x

Total amount = $ 3575

9x  + 3.5y = 3575 -------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-9)

(I)*(-9)  -9x - 9y = -4950  

(II)        <u> 9x  + 3.5y = 3575</u>  { Now add and so 'x' will be eliminated}

                  - 5.5y   =  -1375

y = -1375/-5.5

y = 250

Plug in y = 250 in equation (I)

x + 250 = 550

            x = 550 - 250

            x = 300

Number of children = 250

Number of adults = 300

Answer:

If x represents the no. of adults

and y represents the children, then

x + y = 550

9x + 3.50y = 3575

Leah has a 20% off coupon for a sports store. There is a tennis racket that is available at a discount of 10%. The store applies
Art [367]

Answer:the orginal price of the tennis racket is $47

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the tennis racket at the sports store.

Leah has a 20% off coupon for the sports store. The tennis racket is available at a discount of 10%.

The store applies the coupon after the 10% is taken. The value of the discount on the original price of the tennis racket would be

10/100 × x = 0.1 × x = $0.1x

The discounted price of the racket would be

x - 0.1x = 0.9x

The value of the coupon would be

20/100 × 0.9x = 0.2 × 0.9x = 0.18x

The selling price after the coupon was applied would be

0.9x - 0.18x = 0.72x

She buys the racket for $34. This means that

0.72x = 34

x = 34/0.72 = $47
