Answer:

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total attendees=94 people

Adults tickets=$2.5

Children tickets=$1.75

Total receipts=$203.5

Let adults=a

Children=c

a+c=94 (1)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5 (2)

From (1)

a+c=94

a=94-c

Substitute a=94-c into (2)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5

2.5(94-c) + 1.75c=203.5

235-2.5c+1.75c=203.5

-0.75c=203.5-235

-0.75c=-31.5

Divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75c/-0.75=-31.5/-0.75

c=42

Substitute c=42 into (1)

a+c=94

a+42=94

a=94-42

=52

a=52

Therefore,

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

MrRa [10]
Answer: approximately 29 feet

Explanation: You need to find a tree so that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.

The length of the shadow is an adjacent side and is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side.  You could use X.

Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent

tan(40) =  x/35
x = 35*tan(40) =29.37
