Answer:

The cost of one adult ticket is $13, and the price of one student ticket is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of an adult ticket

y is the cost of a student ticket.

6 adult tickets and 1 student ticket for a total of $82

This means that

$6x + y = 82$

$y = 82 - 6x$

The school took in $51 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 3 student tickets.

This means that

$3x + 3y = 51$

Simplifying by 3

$x + y = 17$

Since $y = 82 - 6x$

$x + 82 - 6x = 17$

$-5x = -65$

$5x = 65$

$x = \frac{65}{5} = 13$

$y = 82 - 6x = 82 - 6*13 = 82-78 = 4$

The cost of one adult ticket is $13, and the price of one student ticket is $4.

Russell wants to purchase a computer that costs $1575. With a larger monitor, the cost of the computer will go up 8%. How much w

lesya [120]

First, we need to find 8% of 1,575. To do so we have to divide 8 by 100, then multiply the quotient by 1,575.

8% ⇒ 0.08

1,575 × 0.08 = 126

Now add the 8% increase to the original cost.

1,575 + 126 = 1,701

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Option 1: </u><u>$1,701</u><u>.</u>

I hope this helps :)

Sheri built a 1/200 scale model of a dam. She used 0.1 cubic meter of plaster. What is the volume of the actual dam in cubic met

Fynjy0 [20]

The correct answer is C) 800,000 cubic meters.

The scale given is for the length, width or height of the model. In order to find the scale for the volume, we would cube this scale, since volume is a cubic measurement:
(1/200)³ = 1/8,000,000

Since the volume of the model is 0.1, we multiply this by 8,000,000 to find the volume of the actual dam:
0.1(8000000) = 800,000
