Given:

The number of tickets sold to children $=35+87+62=184.$

The number of tickets sold to adults $=56+177+205=438.$

The number of tickets sold to seniors $=32+14+54=100.$

To determine the percentage of tickets sold to seniors we need to determine the total number of tickets sold to each category.

To determine the percentage of tickets sold to seniors:

In order to determine the percentage of tickets sold to the seniors, we divide the tickets sold to seniors by the total number of tickets sold to children, adults, and seniors.

This value is multiplied with 100 to convert it into a percentage.

The number of tickets sold to seniors $=100.$

The total number of tickets sold to children, adults, and seniors $= 184+438+100=722.$

The percentage of tickets sold to seniors $= \frac{100}{722} (100) = 0.1385(100)=13.85\%.$

Rounding this off, we get the value as 13.9%

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 11 x + StartFraction 121 Over 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 125 Over 4 EndFraction.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● x^2 + 11x + 121/4 = 125/4

Substract 125/4 from both sides:

● x^2 + 11x + 121/4-125/4= 125/4 -125/4

● x^2 + 11x - (-4/4) = 0

● x^2 +11x -(-1) = 0

● x^2 + 11 x + 1 = 0

This is a quadratic equation so we will use the determinanant (b^2-4ac)

● a = 1

● b = 11

● c = 1

● b^2-4ac = 11^2-4*1*1 = 117

So this equation has two solutions:

● x = (-b -/+ √(b^2-4ac) ) / 2a

● x = (-11 -/+ √(117) ) / 2

● x = (-11 -/+ 3√(13))/ 2

● x = -0.91 or x = -10.9

Round to the nearest unit

● x = -1 or x = -11

The solutions are { -1,-11}

One vegetable warehouse had 210 tons of potatoes, another one had 180 tons. 90 tons of potatoes were delivered to the first and

kow [346]

Answer:

The number of days in which the amount in warehouse #2 is 1.2 greater than warehouse #1 is 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x: number of days

y: amount of potatoes

We can express the amount of potatoes in each warehouse using linear equations:

Warehouse #1: $y_1 = 90x+210$

Warehouse #2: $y_2 = 120x+180$

We need to find the value of x when $1.2*y_{1} =y_{2}$

Substituting the expressions for y1 and y2 in $1.2*y_{1} =y_{2}$ :

$1.2*(90x+210) =120x+180$

Applying distributive law:

$108x+252 =120x+180$

Solving the equation by subtracting 108x and 180 on both sides:

$108x+252-108x-180 =120x+180-108x-180$

$252-180 =120x-108x$

$72 =12x$

Now we divide by 12 on both sides:

$\frac{72}{12} =\frac{12x}{12}\\6=x\\x=6$

Therefore, the number of days in which the amount in warehouse #2 is 1.2 greater than warehouse #1 is 6 days.
