Answer:

<h2>(170;120;60).</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>We know that:</h3>

Capacity of the theater: 350 people.

Adults is half the students.

Children's cost: $4.50

Student's cost: $7.50

Adults' cost: $12.50

Total Sales: $2415

We are gonna call <em>x </em>the children, <em>y </em>the students and <em>z </em>the adults:

So, the equation to express the capacity of the theater would be:

x+y+z=350

But, z=\frac{y}{2} (adults are have students)

So, the expression would be: x+y+\frac{y}{2} =350

<h3>Solving <em>y's </em>and Isolating <em>x </em>: </h3>

x+\frac{3y}{2} =350\\x=350-\frac{3y}{2}

<h3>Now, we need a expression for costs. We have:</h3>

4.50x+7.50y+12.50z=2415

<h3>Replacing the <em>x </em>and <em>z </em>equation:</h3>

4.50(350-\frac{3y}{2} )+7.50y+12.50\frac{y}{2}=2415

<h3>Now, we solve for <em>y</em>:</h3>

1575-6.75y+7.50y+6.25y=2415\\07y=2415-1575\\7y=840\\y=\frac{840}{7} =120

<h3>But, we know that adults are half as many students, so:</h3>

z=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{120}{2} =60

<h3>Lastly,</h3>

x+y+z=350\\x+120+60=350\\x=350-120-60\\x=170

<em>Therefore, there are 170 children, 120 students and 60 adults. Expressing the results as an ordered triple would be (170;120;60)</em>

Answer:

Answer is: $148,809.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan has purchased a whole life policy with a death benefit of $200,000.

Assuming that she dies in 10 years.

Rate = 3% or 0.03

Future value after 10 years = (1+r)^{n} = (1.03)^{10} = 1.344

Purchasing power of proceeds = \frac{200000}{1.344}= $148,809.52
