Answer: 74 children attended

86 students attended

37 adults attended

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that attended.

Let y represent the number of students that attended.

Let z represent the number of adults that attended.

The movie theater has a seating capacity of 197. It means that

x + y + z = 197- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. If the total ticket sales was $ 1416, It means that

5x + 7y + 12z = 1416- - - - - - - - - - 2

There are half as many adults as there are children. It means that

It means that

z = x/2

x = 2z

Substituting x = 2z into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

2z + y + z = 197

y + 3z = 197- - - - - - - - - - - - -3

5 × 2z + 7y + 12z = 1416

10z + 7y + 12z = 1416

7y + 22z = 1416- - - - - - - - - - - 4

Multiplying equation 3 by 7 and equation 4 by 1, it becomes

7y + 21z = 1379

7y + 22z = 1416

Subtracting, it becomes

- z = - 37

z = 37

x = 2z = 2 × 37

x = 74

Substituting x = 74 and z = 37 into equation 1, it becomes

74 + y + 37 = 197

y = 197 - 74 - 37

y = 86

An electrician charges a flat service fee to accept a job and an additional hourly rate to complete the job. The amount an elect
Colt1911 [192]

The interpretation of the slope in the context of the problem is: For every hour the electrician works, her pay will increase $28.

<h3>How to Interpret the Slope of a Function?</h3>

The slope of any function is the unit rate or average rate of change of the given function for that situation.

Given the function, E(x) = 130 + 28x, where:

E(x) is the amount an electrician charges per job

130 is the flat rate service which is the starting value or y-intercept

28 is the unit rate or slope, which is the fee charged per hour by the electrician to complete a job.

Thus, the interpretation of the slope in the context of the problem is: For every hour the electrician works, her pay will increase $28.

What is the amount of interest earned with a deposit of 7,000 at 6.5% for 120 days
aev [14]
The interest figure always means the interest for a year.

120 days is 1/3 of a year, so you'll only earn 1/3 of 6.5% .

6.5%  =  0.065

1/3 of that is 0.02167 .

(0.02167) x (7,000) =  151.67
