A movie theater has a seating capacity of 235. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

118 children

58 students

59 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by setting up a system of equations:

Let a = adults

2a = children (since double the # of adults were children), and

s = students

Set up the equations:

1704 = 5(2a) + 7s + 12(a)

1704 = 10a + 7s + 12a

235 = 2a + a + s

Simplify the equations:

1704 = 22a + 7s

235 = 3a + s

Subtract the bottom equation from the top by multiplying the bottom equation by 7 to eliminate the 's' variable:

1704 = 22a + 7s

7(235 = 3a + s)

1704 = 22a + 7s

1645 = 21a + 7s

---------------------- (Subtract)

59 = a

This is the number of adults. Substitute this number into an equation to solve for the number of students:

235 = 3(59) + s

235 = 177 + s

s = 58.

Since the number of children is equivalent to 2a, solve:

2(59) = 118 children.

Therefore, the values for each group are:

118 children

59 adults

58 students.

Answer:

adults: 59, students:58 and children 118

Step-by-step explanation:

let A for adults, and C = children and S for students

There are half as many adults as there are children=

A=C/2 , C=2A

A+C+S=235 or

A+2A+S=235 first equation

3A+S=235

12A+5C+7S =1704 or

12A+10A+7S=1704

22A + 7S=1704 second equation

3A+S=235 first

solve by addition and elimination

22A+7S=1704

21 A+7S=1645 subtract two equations

A=59 adults

C=2A=2(59)=118

substitute in :A+S+C=235

S=235-(118+59)=58

check: 5C+7S+12A=1704

5(118)+7(58)+12(59)=1704

Evaluate using properties of arithmetic operations. 12∙121∙13÷(26∙11)∙7÷11
Anika [276]

Answer:

0.1978

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rule of BODMAS (or FEDMAS), let us do the bracket first.

26·11 = 286

Now, do the multiplication from the left.

12·121·3 = 4356

286·7 = 2002

Now, do the division from the left.

\frac{\frac{4356}{2002} }{11}

=\frac{4356}{2002(11)}

=\frac{396}{2002}

= 0.1978

In a rhombus MPKN with an obtuse angle K the diagonals intersect each other at point E. The measure of one of the angles of a ∆P
allsm [11]
The rhombus has a couple of very interesting properties. The first is that the diagonals meet at 90o angles.

The second is that all the sides are congruent. That's actually the key to the problem (or one of them.

The third is that the diagonals are line segments that bisect the angles where the vertex of the angle is. 

So just to make sure you understand what that last statement means <PKM  =  <NKM
K is the vertex of angle PKN 

Now the really heavy duty stuff about your question.
Given
K is obtuse. Therefore <PKM can't be 16o because MKN would also have to be 16 degrees and together they don't add up to anything over 90o.
So the 16o angle is at <EPK

Remember that the diagonals meet at right angles. <PEK = 90o

Finally all triangles have 180o
< PKE = 180 - 16 - 90 = 74. So to review
<PKE = 74o
<EPK = 16o
<PEK = 90o That's one half the problem.

Moving on to triangle PMN
By the properties of parallel lines and a rhombus  and isosceles triangles, that since PKN is bisected (rhombus property) Then PKN = 2* PKM =2*74 = 148o
The angle opposite <PKN is equal to <PKN so <PMN = <PKN
Since PKN = 148 then PMN = 148
Since KPN = 16o then PMN = 16o
Since triangle <PMN is isosceles <PNM = 16o

Summing up 
PMN = 148o
MPN = 16o
MNP = 16o

That's both triangles solved. This is a really nice little problem. If you google properties of a rhombus, you will find all the properties I have used proven.
