There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)

Brittany buys 2.55 pounds of turkey for $5.96 per pound and 3.7 pounds of
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Brittany needs another $3.7405.              

Step-by-step explanation:

Per pound Cost of turkey = $5.96 per pound

The amount Brittany buys the turkey = 2.55 pounds

Brittany's cost for turkey = 2.55 × $5.96 = $15.198

Per pound cost for cheese = $3.35 per pound

The amount Brittany buys the cheese = 3.7 pounds

Brittany's cost for cheese = 2.55 × $3.35 = $8.5425

So,

Brittany's total cost = Turkey cost + Cheese cost

                                = $15.198 + $8.5425

                                = $23.7405

As brittany gave the clerk 20 dollars.

So, the amount she further needs will be:

$23.7405 - $20 =  $3.7405

Therefore, Brittany needs another $3.7405.

A. In the standard normal and t distributions, the 95% confidence multiplier is equal to the ________ 1-sided critical value.
valkas [14]

Answer:

a. 1.645 multiplier = 5% critical value

b. 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in statistical analysis probability principles are often used. The critical value from the critical region indicates whether the statistician should reject or accept the null hypothesis.

Note that the confidence multiplier is a constant that shows the number of standard deviations in a normal curve; the  deviation standard<em> implies the measure of difference between the observed value of a variable and some another value.</em>

Pippa had 35 stickers.
Ivan

Answer: 3 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know that Pippa's 8 friends have an equal amount of stickers, meaning that the number of stickers that Pippa gave out is a multiple of 8.

Also, we are able to know that Pippa gave as much as she can, meaning that she gave out the stickers until the number is the maximum multiple of 8.

First Five Multiple of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

As we can see from the list, 8, 16, and 24 are all multiples of 8, but they are not the maximum number that could fit under 35 stickers. Similarly, 40 exceeds the number of stickers Pippa has. Thus, we are left with 32.

This means, Pippa gave out 32 stickers in total, and each friend got 4 stickers.

  • 32 / 8 = 4 stickers

Also, this means Pippa would keep <u>3 stickers</u> for herself.

  • 35 - 32 = 3 stickers

Hope this helps!! :)
