Step-by-step answer:
If there are 40% students that are girls , and the rest are 250 boys. Then that must mean there are 60% boys. Because that is the compliment.
i)
Because we know that 60% of the people in the group are boys, and that the amount of boys amounts to 250, we can model an equation like this.
.
There are 417 students
ii)
Because we know that the total amount is 417, we can find the amount of girls there are by multiplying the total by the percentage.
There are 167 students that are girls.
Given:
The cost of adults ticket = $18
The cost of children's ticket = $8.25
Total tickets = 2300
Total revenue = $30,168.
To find:
The number of children and number of adults attended the zoo that day.
Solution:
Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults.
Equation for tickets: ...(i)
Equation for revenue: ...(ii)
Plot the graphs of the given equations on a coordinate plane as shown below.
From the graph it is clear that the graph of both equations intersect each other at (1148,1152).
It means the number of adults is 1148 and the number of children is 1152.
It can be solved algebraically as shown below:
Substitute the value of y in (ii) from (i).
Divide both sides by 9.75.
Putting in (i), we get
Therefore, the number of adults is 1148 and the number of children is 1152.
