An amusement park sells children and adult tickets at a ratio of 8 to 1. On Saturday they sold 147 more child tickets then adult
1 answer:
let the number of adult tickets be x and the number of children tickets be y
x:y = 8:1
On Saturday, x = 147 + y
(147+y):y = 8:1
[tex] \frac{147}{y} + [tex] \frac{y}{y} = 8 + 1
[tex] \frac{147}{y} = 8
147 = 8y
∴y = 88
x = 147 + 88
∴ x = 235
so the no of tickets sold on saturday = 235 + 88 = 323

Given:
A straight-line graph has gradient 4 and crosses the y axis at (0, −3).
To find:
The equation of the given graph.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is:
...(i)
Where, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
A straight-line graph has gradient 4. It means the slope of the line is 4.
Line crosses the y axis at (0, −3). So, y-intercept is -3.
Putting m=4 and b=-3 in (i), we get
Therefore, the equation of the given line graph is .
