Total tickets sold  = 800
Total revenue = $3775

Ticket costs:
$3  per child,
$8  per adult,
$5 per senior citizen.

Of those who bought tickets, let
x =  number of children 
y = number of adults
z = senior citizens

Therefore
x + y + z = 800                   (1)
3x + 8y + 5z = 3775           (2)

Twice as many children's tickets were sold as adults. Therefore
x = 2y                                (3)

Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
2y + y + z = 800, or
3y + z = 800, or
z = 800 - 3y                        (4)
3(2y) + 8y + 5z = 3775, or
14y + 5z = 3775                 (5)

Substtute (4) nto (5).
14y + 5(800 - 3y) = 3775
-y = -225
y = 225
From (4), obtain
z = 800 - 3y = 125
From (3), obtain
x = 2y = 450

Answer:
The number of tickets sold was:
450 children,
225  adults,
125 senior citizens.

A university's leadership council is made up of 10 members: 3 are students, 3 are teachers, and 4 are deans. A newspaper reporte
Vlad [161]

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must figure out your total outcomes, int the problem it said ten. Than take the number of students and put the number of students over the number of outcomes. This will tell you the probability of drawing one student. Next you must subtract 1 student and one member from your original equation. This is because you have assumed that the first drawing had a favorable outcome. So that leaves you with 2/9. Next you must multiply both the first fraction (3/10) and the second fraction (2/9) to come up with the total probability of the event occurring.

Hope that helped.
