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.

If the tank is then field to capacity how many half-gallon bottles how many cords will it make?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Divide 12 by 4 first to figure out how many gallons are in each 1/4 of the tank. 

12/4=3

So if I added another 1/4 to the capacity:

It could hold 15 gallons. 

All you have to do to find how many half bottles can be filled is to times 15 by two since we are filling half gallon bottles.

15x2=30

30 bottles.

Between permanent life insurance and term life insurance, which typically has the lower premium and why?
adoni [48]

Term life insurance has the lower premium because term life insurance pays the face value to your beneficiary if you die within a certain set period of time, whereas whole life insurance covers you your entire life. (Option A)

<h3>What is insurance?</h3>

Insurance is when a third-party (the insurer) promises to indemnify another party (the insured) for losses they might suffer in the future in exchange for agreed upon payments.

Permanent life insurance is a type of insurance that provides a coverage that never expires. The person with a permanent life insurance is covered until he or she passes on. Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that has a fixed and guaranteed premium and a fixed death benefit.

Term life insurance is a type of insurance that provides coverage to a person only for a scheduled period of time. For example, a person who buys a 10 year term life insurance, the person's insurance only lasts for 10 years. If the person passes on within the 10 years, his beneficiary receives payments. If the person passes on after 10 years, his beneficiary does not receive any payments.
