<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • 154 adults
  • 108 children
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the number of adults who swam at the pool. Then (262-x) is the number of children. Multiplying these numbers by the corresponding admission charge will give the associated receipts. We are given the total of receipts, so we can write the equation ...

... 2.00x +1.50(262-x) = 470.00

... 0.50x +393.00 = 470.00 . . . . . simplify

... 0.50x = 77.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 393

... 77.00/0.50 = x = 154 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

... (262-x) = 108 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .find the number of children admitted

A jar contains 0.75 liter of blackberry juice and 0.60 liter of blueberry juice. Patrick poured 0.25 liter of guava juice into t
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

1.4, associative prop.

Step-by-step explanation:

because it asks for liters of total juice, you can add 0.75, 0.60, and 0.25 together then subtract 0.20. the equation can be 0.75+0.6+0.25-0.2

associative propery means no matter how you group numbers, the outcome will come out the same. for example, if we did 0.75+0.6+(0.25-0.20) and did the parenthesis first, we would get 0.75+0.6+0.05, which comes out to 1.4. hope this helped!
