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

Determine the rate of change for 3/2x -5/4y = 15
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

-6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2x - 5/4y = 15

-5/4y = -3/2x + 15

multiply each side by (-4/5)

(-4/5)(-5/4y) = (-4/5)(-3/2x + 15)

y = -6/5x - 12

rate of change: -6/5

17. (a) The formula with CP subject is CP=\frac{SP}{1.1}

(b) The Cost Price of item without GST is $59.50

(c) The GST of item is $5.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula is;

SP = 1.1 * CP

SP = Selling price

CP = Cost price

(a) Rearrange the formula to make CP the subject;

SP = 1.1 * CP

Dividing both sides by 1.1

\frac{SP}{1.1}=\frac{1.1*CP}{1.1}\\\\\frac{SP}{1.1}=CP\\\\CP=\frac{SP}{1.1}

The formula with CP subject is CP=\frac{SP}{1.1}

(b) Use your formula from (a) to find the Cost Price of an item without GST if the selling price is $65.45

SP = $65.45

CP=\frac{65.45}{1.1}\\\\CP=\$59.50

The Cost Price of item without GST is $59.50

(c) Calculate the amount of GST on an item whose selling price is $65.45.

GST = 10% of CP

GST = \frac{10}{100}*CP

GST = 0.1CP

From part (b)

CP = $59.50

GST = 0.1 * 59.50

GST = $5.95

The GST of item is $5.95
