Hi! Welcome to Brainly! Let's solve this word problem together below! :)

Let's write this as a system of equations.

8a+4s=880

a= s+20

Let's plug our a value into the first equation.

8(s+20)+4s=880

8s+160+4s=880

We combine like terms.

12s+160=880

We subtract 160 from both sides.

12s=720

We divide both sides by 12

s=60

Now, we plug this value into the second equation.

a= 60+20

a= 80

Therefore, 80 adult tickets were sold.

I hope this helps! Have a fabulous time here at Brainly! :)

Xy has 10 pets: 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 alpacas and 1 bunny. If he wants to arrange them in a row and make sure the pets are always gr
Anastaziya [24]

The number of ways pets can be arranged in group according to the species is  in a row 288 ways.

Pets can be grouped by permutation concept as follows.

Total number of pets = 10

Number of dogs = 4

Number of cats = 3

Number of alpacas = 2

Number of bunny = 1

The number of ways pets can be arranged in group according to the species in a row as,

⇒ (4!)(3!)(2!)(1!)

⇒ (24)(6)(2)(1)

⇒ 288

Hence we can conclude that the number of ways pets can be arranged in group according to the species in a row is 288 ways.

A class of 40 students took a test 20 students had an average score of 65. the other students had an average score of 52. what i
Korolek [52]

Answer:

One: 58.5

Two 36.6

Step-by-step explanation:

One

20 students * 65 = 1300 This is the total score of all 20 students. They may not all get 65, but 1300 is what their average total is.

20 students * 52 = 1040

The total score of all 40 students was 1300 + 1040 = 2340

The average for the entire class was 2340 / 40 = 58.5

Two

This question is done almost the same way.

Supposes the total number of members is 100. That means that 28 of them are men

28 * 33 = 924     This is the total age for the men

100 - 28 = 72        Out of 100, 72 of the people there are women.

72 * 38 = 2736

The total number of years of all of the members is

924 + 2736 = 3660      

The average age of all members is 3660/100 = 36.6

Why did I pick 100 as the total membership? It is because a percentage is number out of 100. Am I allowed to invent things like that? Sure. I'm just using the definition of a percentage.

The average will make it come out the same.
