For the Event to Kings Island the cost for an adult ticket is $20 and the cost for a student ticket is $10. The tickets are purc

hased in advance and a total of 550 tickets were purchased and the total cost of the tickets was $7,500.
Identify the total number of adult tickets and student tickets sold that would create a total of 550 tickets sold for a total cost of $7,500.

We have two formulas:
Adult tickets plus Student tickets = 550 tickets   or   A + S = 550
   and
Adult tickets times $20 plus Student ticket times $10 = $7500  or
(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500

First let's get rid of one of the variables by re-balancing the simplest formula
A+S = 550
A+S-A = 550-A
S = 550-A

Now we can restate the second formula replacing "S"  with it's equivalent "550-A"

(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500
(A * 20) + ((550-A) *10) = 7500
Then do the multiplication
20A + 5500 - 10A = 7500
and simplifiy
20A + 5500 - 5500 - 10A = 7500 - 5500
20A - 10A = 2000
10A = 2000
A =  200   
S =  550 - 200 = 350

Now we should test the answers to be sure our work
 is correct:
  200 Adult tickets times $20 = $4000
  350 Student tickets times $10 = $3500
  $4000 + $3500 = 7500

harina [27]

Answer:

B) Independent; the 1st marble selection will not affect the 2nd marble selection.

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the probability of events in mathematics, we have both independent and dependent events.

Independent events are events that occur when the results of selection of the first events does not affect the results or outcomes of the second events.

Dependent events are the opposite of Independent events. They are events that occur when the results or outcomes obtained from the second events is affected by the results or outcomes from the selection of the first events.

From the question, we can see that the first event is she picked one marble from the bag. The second event is she replaced the marble before picking another marble. By doing this, the total number of possible outcomes for the probabilities of both events remains the same and they are unaffected.

Therefore, we can say that the two events are Independent because the 1st marble selection will not affect the 2nd marble selection.

nikklg [1K]
Side lengths 16, 61, and 65 are not part of a right triangle.

A right triangle's sides should follow this formula, C being the largest number:

a^{2} + b ^{2} = c^{2}

16^{2} = 256

61^{2} = 3721

65^{2} = 4225

256 + 3721 = 3977

3977  \neq 4225
