Let student tickets be s and adult tickets be a.  The number of tickets sold of both adult and student then is s + a = 396.  If each student ticket costs $3, then we represent the money equation by tacking the dollar amount onto the ticket.  3s is the cost of one student ticket.  4a is the cost of an adult ticket.  The total money from the sales of both is 4a + 3s = 1385.  We now have a system of equations we can solve for a and s.  If s+a=396, then s = 396-a.  We will sub that into the second equation to get 4a + 3(396-a) = 1385.  Distributing we have 4a+1188-3a=1385.  a = 197.  That means there were 197 adult tickets sold.  If s + a = 396, then s + 197 = 396 and s = 199.  197 adult tickets and 199 student tickets.  There you go!

Se van a unir dos tramos de cadena: uno mide 0.75 m de largo y el otro 15/100 de metro . ¿Cual será la longitud total ya que est
likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The length of section 1 is 0.75 m and the length of section 2 is 15/100 m. The total length of the section is equal to the sum of section 1 and section 2. So, we will add them as follows :

l=0.75\ m+\dfrac{15}{100}\ m\\\\\because \dfrac{15}{100}=0.15\\\\l=0.75\ m +0.15\ m\\\\l=0.9\ m

So, the length of the section is 0.9 m or 9/10 m

What is the reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel, with individual reliabilities of 0.95, and
user100 [1]

The reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel is 0.99.

In this question,

The probability of failure-free operation of a system with several parallel elements is always higher than that of the best element in the system. Reliability can be increased if the same function is done by two or more elements arranged in parallel.

A system contains two components that are arranged in parallel, they are 0.95 and 0.80.

Therefore the system reliability can be calculated as follows

⇒ 1 - ( 1 - 0.95 ) × ( 1 - 0.80 )

⇒ 1 - (0.05 × 0.20)

⇒ 1 - 0.01

⇒ 0.99

Hence we can conclude that the reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel is 0.99.

The California Tiger Salamander is an endangered species, which decreases at the rate of 4.6% per year in a habitat that current
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Population after 4 years = 49 (nearest unit)

Population after 5 years  = 47 (nearest unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yearly decrease = 4.6%

Decrease factor (what's left) = (100-4.6)% = 0.954

Current population, P = 60

population after n years = P(0.954)^n  (to the nearest unit)

Population after 4 years = 60(0.954)^4 = 49.7 = 49 (nearest unit)

Population after 5 years  = 60(0.954)^5 = 47.4 = 47 (nearest unit)
