Answer:

The adult ticket costs $18 and the children ticket costs $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the adult ticket be a.

Let the price of the children ticket be c.

Three adults and four children must pay $106. This implies that:

3a + 4c = 106 _______(1)

Two adults and three children must pay $75. This implies that:

2a + 3c = 75 ________(2)

We have two simultaneous equations:

3a + 4c = 106 _____(1)

2a + 3c = 75 ______(2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 and subtract (1) from (2):

  6a + 9c = 225

- <u>(6a + 8c = 212)</u>

             c = $13

Put this value of c in (2):

2a + 3*13 = 75

2a + 39 = 75

=> 2a = 75 - 39

2a = 36

a = 36/2 = $18

Therefore, the adult ticket costs $18 and the children ticket costs $13.

Mrs. Avery's class ate 1/5 of their green pepper pizza and 9/12 of their pepperoni pizza. Which pizza did they eat more of?
Anton [14]
So what you have to do is make the denominators equal. You do that by finding out what number they can both go into which is 60. 12 can go into 60 5 times and so you have to do 9/12 times 5 which is 40/60. then 5 goes into 60 12 times so you have to do 1/5 times 5 which is 12/60. Then you see that 40/60 >12/60 therefore the class ate more of the pepperoni pizza

The owner of a hot dog stand receives a loan of $3,750 at 8.25% for 9 months. find the amount of simple interest.(round to the n
Mkey [24]
Hello! The formula for simple interest is prt. That means you multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest percentage), by the amount of time (could be in months or years). So, the loan is $3,750 and the rate is 8.25% for 9 months. 9 months is 3/4 of the year, because there are 12 months in 1 year and 9/12 is 0.75. Let's multiply. 3,750 * 8.25% (0.0825) is 309.375 Now, multiply that number by 0.75 to get 232.03125 or 232.03 when rounded to the nearest hundredth (cent). The amount of simple interest is $232.03.
