Answer:

80 orchestra seats

180 main seats

140 balcony seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of seats = 400

Orchestra seats sell for $80

Main seats sell for $65

Balcony seats sell for $40

If all the seats are sold, gross revenue = $23,700

If all the main seats and balcony seats are sold but only half of the orchestra seats are sold, the gross revenue = $20,500

Let x = Orchestra seats

Let y = main seats

Let z = balcony seats

x+y+z= 400............. (1)

Orchestra seats sell for $80, Main seats sell for $65 and bslcony seats sell for $40. The gross revenue if all the seats are sold = $23,700

80x + 65y + 40z = 23,700 ........(2)

If half of the orchestra seats are sold while all main and balcony seats are sold, we have

80(0.5x) + 65y+ 40z = 20,500

40x + 65y + 40z = 20,500 .....(3)

we have the simultaneous equations

x+y+z= 400............. (1)

80x + 65y + 40z = 23,700 ........(2)

40x + 65y + 40z = 20,500 .....(3)

Using elimination method to solve equation 2 and 3, we subtract equation 3 from 2

40x = 3200

x = 3200/40

x = 80 orchestra seats

Put x= 80 into equation 1 and 2

From equation 1,

x +y+z = 400

y + z = 400 - x

y+z = 400 -80

y+z = 320 .........(4)

From equation 2,

80x + 65y + 40z = 23,700

80(80) + 65y +40z = 23,700

6400 + 65y + 40z = 23,700

65y+40z = 23,700 - 6400

65y + 40z = 17,300 .........(5)

Multiply equation (4) by 40 and equation (5) by 1

So we have

40y + 40z = 12,800

65y + 40x = 17,300

subtract both equations from each other. we have

-25y = -4500

y = -4500/-25

y = 180 main seats

Put x = 80 and y= 180 into equation (1)

80+180+z = 400

260 + z = 400

z = 400-260

z = 140 balcony seats

11. Lucas is making one dozen sn
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Lucas needs 12 cups of dried cherries and 24 cups of dried apricots to make one dozen of snacks for his team

Step-by-step explanation:

For each snacks Lucas uses one cup of dried cherries and 2 cup of dried apricots. One dozen of snack  contains a total of 12 snacks. Therefore to prepare 12 snacks (one dozen) the number of dried cherries and dried apricots can be gotten by multiplying the number of dried cherries and dried apricots required for each snack by 12.

Number of dried cherries = 1 cup for each snack × 12 snacks = 12 cups

Number of dried apricots = 2 cup for each snack × 12 snacks = 24 cups

Lucas needs 12 cups of dried cherries and 24 cups of dried apricots to make one dozen of snacks for his team

In △PQR, find the measure of ∡P.
prisoha [69]
57.6² = 33.8² + QR²
QR² = 2.175,32
QR = 46.64

57.6/sen90º = 46.64/sen(P)
sen(P) = 46.64*sen90º/57.6
sen(P) = 0.809
angle P is sen^-1 = 54.06º ≈ 54.1º
