Answer:

Children: $13

Adults: $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Well for both sets we can set up the following system of equations,

\left \{ {{3a + 4c = 106} \atop {2a + 3c = 75}} \right.

So first we need to solve for a in the first equation.

3a + 4c = 106

-4c to both sides

3a = -4c + 106

Divide 3 by both sides

<u>a = -4/3c + 35 1/3</u>

Now we plug in that a for a in 2a + 3c = 75.

2(-4/3c + 35 1/3) + 3c = 75

-8/3c + 70 2/3 + 3c = 75

Combine like terms

1/3c + 70 2/3 = 75

-70 2/3 to both sides

1/3c = 4 1/3

Divide 1/3 to both sides

c = 13

Now we can plug in 13 for c in 3a + 4c = 106,

3a + 4(13) = 106

3a + 52 = 106

-52 to both sides

3a = 54

Divide 3 by both sides.

a = 18

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>an adult ticket is $18 and a children's ticket is $13.</em>

<em />

Answer:

Adults pay $18 and children pay $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You need to calculate the price of the tickets for adults and children for the group trip to New York.

If X represents adult and Y represents children, then you can express the given information as two equations with two unknown values:

<em>Three adults and four children must pay $106</em>. ⇒ 3X + 4Y= $106

<em>Two adults and three children must pay $75.</em> ⇒ 2X + 3Y= $75

I) First step, in one of the equations you have to clear one of the unknown values, I'll clear the value of Y:

3X + 4Y= 106

4Y= 106 - 3X

Y= \frac{106-3X}{4}

II) Second step you have to replace it in the second equation:

2X + 3Y= 75

2X + 3(\frac{106-3X}{4} )= 75

2X + \frac{3}{4}(106-3X)= 75

2X + (\frac{3}{4}*106 - \frac{3}{4}*3X )= 75

2X + 79.5 -\frac{9}{4}X =75

2X - \frac{9}{4}X= 75 - 79.5

-\frac{1}{4} X= -\frac{9}{2}

X= -\frac{9}{2} * -4= 18

The price for adult tickets is $18.

III) Third step, using the calculated value of X, you replace it on the formula obtained in I) yo calculate the price for the children Y:

Y= \frac{106-3X}{4}= \frac{106-(3*18)}{4} = \frac{27}{2}= 13.5

The ticket price for children is $13.5

I hope this helps!

A hi school is conducting a survey to see how many students have part time jobs. Would this sample be biased or unbiased?
nalin [4]
It would be biased because one would assume that students can get to school by means other than those that put them 8n the parking lor. (Parking lot = car drivers who would be the only students sampled.). Others may ride to school by either parent or school bus who could drop them off somewhere else or possibly walk to school. The freshmen/sophomores would be excluded generally as they would be too young to drive altogether
