Answer : The number of adult tickets sold was, 164 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the number of adult tickets be, x

So, the number of student tickets will be, (480-x)

Total cost of tickets = $2892

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $8

Cost of 1 student ticket = $5

Thus, the equation will be:

8x+5(480-x)=2892

By solving the term, we get the value of 'x'.

8x+2400-5x=2892

8x-5x=2892-2400

3x=492

x=164

Number of adult tickets = x = 164

Number of students tickets = (480-x) = (480-164) = 316

Thus, the number of adult tickets sold was, 164 tickets.

A + s = 480......s = 480 - a
8a + 5s = 2892

8a + 5(480 - a) = 2892
8a + 2400 - 5a = 2892
8a - 5a = 2892 - 2400
3a = 492
a = 492/3
a = 164 <=== there were 164 adult tickets sold

What is the difference between Compound Interest and simple interest???
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated using initial principle while compound interest is calculated considering the interest also .

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest is the cost of borrowing money, where the borrower pays a fee to the lender for using his money. The interest, typically expressed as a percentage, can either be compounded or simple .

Simple interest is based on the principal amount , while compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that adds onto it in every period and the final principle is used for calculating the interest.

Simple interest is calculated  on the principal amount of a loan and it's easier to find out than compound interest.

Solve for.x coordinate

- 10 =  \frac{0 + x}{2}  \\  - 20 = 0 + x \\ x =  - 20

solve for y coordinate
