5 adult tickets and 3 student tickets were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one adult ticket = $7.25

Cost of one student ticket = $5.50

Total tickets purchased = 8

Total amount spent = $52.75

Let,

Number of adult tickets = x

Number of student tickets = y

According to given statement;

x+y=8     Eqn 1

7.25x+5.50y=52.75    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5.50

5.50(x+y=8)\\5.50x+5.50y=44.00\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(7.25x+5.50y)-(5.50x+5.50y)=52.75-44.00\\7.25x+5.50y-5.50x-5.50y=8.75\\1.75x=8.75

Dividing both sides by 1.75

\frac{1.75x}{1.75}=\frac{8.75}{1.75}\\x=5

Putting x=5 in Eqn 1

5+y=8\\y=8-5\\y=3

5 adult tickets and 3 student tickets were purchased.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

254.34 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder = \pi r^{2} h

We know that the diameter is 6, which means that the radius is 3 cm.

Now, it also tell us that that the height is triple the radius, this means that we multiply it by 3. Therefore, the height is 9 cm.

Now we know r = 3 cm and h = 9 cm, pi is assumed to 3.14 as well.

Substituting into the formula we will end up with 254.34 cm^2.
