Answer:

<u>188 children</u> and <u>145 adults</u> were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

<u><em>Let the number of children admitted be </em></u>x.<u><em /></u>

<u><em>And the the number of adults admitted be </em></u>y.<u><em /></u>

So, the total people enter the park:

x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\

Substituting the value of x from equation (1):

1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.

<u><em>Thus, the number of adults = 145.</em></u>

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of y in equation (1) we get:

x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.

<u><em>Hence, the number of children = 188.</em></u>

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Suppose that y varies directly with x. Given x=4 when y=20.<br> Find y when x = 3
scoray [572]

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: y varies directly with x, x=4 when y=20

To find:  y when x = 3

Solution:

As y varies directly as x, it means that as x increases, y also increases by the same factor.

As y varies directly with x,

y=kx

Here, k is a constant

As x = 4 when y = 20,

20=4k\\k=\frac{20}{4}=5\\\Rightarrow y=5x

Put x = 3

y= 5(3) = 15

Describe the Glide Reflection from the preimage triangle in Black to the image triangle and red​
cestrela7 [59]

We want the final coordinate of K to become (-3,1). If you reflect across the y-axis, you transform

(x,y)\mapsto(-x,y)

So, we need to move K to (3,1), and then reflect it across the y-axis. Since K starts at (-1,4), we have to move it 4 units to the right and 3 units down.
