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.

Why do we use a coeficient to remove the propotionality
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Constant is the scale term in proportionality. Suppose one variable is dependent on the other and one variable become twice, other becomes also twice and if one becomes half, other too becomes half., but they are two different variables which are no-where linked (like cost(money) vs quantity). Quantity and cost are two different things but they abridge a mathematical relation of proportionality. So in the mathematics to abridge these two different variables, we need something. Constant serves that purpose.

Suppose you are constructing a scale model solar system using a scale ratio of 1 to 10 billion. In your scale model what will be
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert km to meters

143000 km = 143,000,000m = 1.43*10^8 m

Now convert 10 billion to scientific notation1  00

10 billion = 1 * 10^10

What this means is that 1 * 10^10 meters in outer space = 1 meter for the scale model.

Now show what the ratio is for

1.43*10^8

========          Divide by the denominator

1 * 10^10

1.43 * 10^(8 - 10)

1.43 * 10 ^ - 2               meters

Answer: 0.0143m or B
