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.

Nina [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we have to find the factors so

3x2 + 42x + 105

First we will multiply 105 by 3 = 315 then find factors of 315 which may add or subtract = 42

So 45 and 7

3x2 + 45x - 7x + 105

3x( x + 15) - 7(x - 15)

(3x - 7) and ( x - 15) are the factors

Nady [450]

Answer:

She can put a maximum of 10 boxes in the cart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each cart that Debbie uses to move the boxes supports a maximum of 200 pounds, and that each box that she places in the cart weighs 20 pounds, to determine the maximum number of boxes that can fit in the cart, the following calculation must be performed :

200/20 = X

20/2 = X

10 = X

Thus, she can put a maximum of 10 boxes in the cart.

At a local coffee shop, three coffees and two muffins cost a total of $7.00. Two coffees and four
rewona [7]

Answer:

$10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations, so 3c + 2m = 7 and 2c + 4m = 8, where c = the cost of coffees, and m = cost of muffins

To solve multiply the first equation by -2(3c + 2m=7) so you get -6c -4m = -14 now add the two equations

-6c - 4m = -14

2c + 4m = 8   notice that -6c + 2c = -4c and -4m + 4m cancels, then -14+8=-6

so we have -4c = -6 so c = $1.50

To solve for m, substitute c = 1.50 so 3(1.50) + 2m = 7, so solve for m so

4.5 + 2m = 7, 2m = 2.5, so m = $1.25

So now solve the final problem 6(1.50) + 1(1.25) = $10.25
