Answer:

B. 585

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of the scatter plot and line of best fit is attached.

The temperature in this problem will be the independent variable, or x.  This is because we are assuming that the number of ice cream cones sold depends on the temperature; this means the number of ice cream cones will be the dependent variable, or y.

This means in our graphing calculator, we will enter temperature in the first list and the number of cones in the second.

After drawing the scatter plot, we run the linear regression; we get the values for a and b in our equation, y = ax+b:

a = 5.08

b = 46.59

This gives us the equation y = 5.08x + 46.59.

Entering our temperature, 106, in for x gives us

y = 5.08(106) + 46.59 = 585.07 ≈ 585

At the city museum, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $9.90 . On Monday, twice as many adult tickets as child tick
DiKsa [7]
To solve this, I would just find what two adult tickets and one child ticket wold be worth.

To find that, just do:

5.20 + 9.90 * 2, which makes 25.

So now you just find how many 25s are in 900, or 36.

So 36 children's tickets were sold that day.

Hope I helped :)
