Answer:

  • 321 adult tickets
  • 227 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This sort of problem is easily solved by defining a variable to be the quantity of the higher-value contributor. Here, we can let x represent the number of adult tickets. Then total revenue is ...

  6.50x +3.50(548-x) = 2881

  3x +1918 = 2881 . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  3x = 963 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1918

  x = 321 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  548-x = 548 -321 = 227 . . . . . .number of child tickets

321 adult tickets and 227 child tickets were sold.

TW¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=14.6, CW¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=6, TU¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=21.2. Find the value of VW¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.
pogonyaev

TW x WU = CW x VW

Fill in the known values:

WU = TU - TW = 21.2 - 14.6 = 6.6

14.6 x 6.6 = 6 x VW

Simplify:

96.36 = 6VW

Divide both sides by 6:

VW = 96.36 / 6

VW = 16.06

Round to one decimal place:

VW = 16.1

The answer is D>
