188 children and 155 adults were admitted that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one children admission = $2.50

Cost of one adult admission = $5.80

Number of people entered = 343

Total admission fees collected = $1369

Let,

Number of children admission = x

Number of adult admission = y

According to given statement;

x+y=343     Eqn 1

2.50x+5.80y=1369     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2.50

2.50(x+y=343)\\2.50x+2.50y=857.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(2.50x+5.80y)-(2.50x+2.50y)=1369-857.50\\2.50x+5.80y-2.50x-2.50y=511.50\\3.30y=511.50

Dividing both sides by 3.30

\frac{3.30y}{3.30}=\frac{511.50}{3.30}\\y=155

Putting y=155 in Eqn 1

x+155=343\\x=343-155\\x=188

188 children and 155 adults were admitted that day.

ITS been increased by 39%​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the original price.

x + 39% of x = 197.38

x + 0.39 x   = 197.38

1.39x  = 197.38

      x = 197.38/ 1.39

      x = 142

What is −3/8÷7/12 ?
RSB [31]

Answer:

-9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my simplest-

Do the keep-change-flip method for this problem (and also any problem involving this)

KEEP -3/8

CHANGE the division sign to multiplication

FLIP the last fraction. 7/12 to 12/7

Now solve the problem by multiplying the fractions

-3/8 × 12/7 =

-3 × 12 = -36

8 × 7 = 56

-36 / 56 =

Simplify it by dividing the numerator (up of the line) and denominator (below the line) to get -9/14
