If 75 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $2.75 while tickets for children cost $2.25 and

Mathematics

Serhud [2]3 years ago

Answer:

Adult = 39

Children = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people = 75

Cost of adult ticket = $2.75

Cost of children ticket = $2.25

Total receipts = $188.25

Let the number of adult = x

Let the number of children = y

X + y = 75 ......equation (i)

(X × 2.75) + (y × 2.25) = 188.25

2.75x + 2.25y = 188.25.......equation (ii)

To find the numbe of adult and children that attended, we'll have to solve equation (i) and (ii) simultaneously.

From equation 1,

X + y = 75

X = 75 - y......equation(iii)

Put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

2.75*(75 - y) + 2.25y = 188.25

206.25 - 2.75y + 2.25y = 188.25

206.25 - 0.5y = 188.25

Collect liketerms

0.5y = 206.25 - 188.25

0.5y = 18

Y = 18 / 0.5

Y = 36

Put y = 36 into equation (i)

X + 36 = 75

X = 39

Therefore the number of adult is 39 while that of children is 36.

In an arithmetic sequence, if a2= 5 and a10= 19 find a6
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

a₆ = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₂ = 5 and a₁₀ = 19 , then

a₁ + d = 5 → (1)

a₁ + 9d = 19 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

8d = 14 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = 1.75

Substitute d = 1.75 into (1)

a₁ + 1.75 = 5 ( subtract 1.75 from both sides )

a₁ = 3.25

Then

a₆ = 3.25 + 5(1.75) = 3.25 + 8.75 = 12

Among all pairs of numbers whose difference is 20, find a pair whose product is as small as possible. what is the minimum produc
Elza [17]

Answer:

-100

-10, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

Then the larger number is x + 20.

The product is x(x + 20).

Now you can write the function

y = x(x + 20)

y = x^2 + 20x

Take the first derivative of y with respect to x.

y' = 2x + 20

Set the first derivative equal to zero to find the x value for the minimum value of the function.

2x + 20 = 0

2x = -20

x = -10

The minimum value of the function occurs at x = -10. -10 is one of the two numbers.

y = x^2 + 20x

For x = -10,

y = (-10)^2 + 20(-10)

y = 100 - 200

y = -100

The minimum value of the product is -100.

x = -10

x + 20 = -10 + 20 = 10

The numbers are -10 and 10.

If you have not learned derivatives yet, then plot the function

y = x^2 + 20x

Now look at the graph and find the minimum y value and the x value at which it occurs.

The minimum y value is -100. That is the minimum product you are looking for.

The x value of the minimum function value is x = -10.

Then x + 20 = -10 + 20 = 10.

The numbers are -10 and 10.

A CD usually sells for $14.00. If the CD is 10% off, and sales tax is 6%, what is the total price of the CD, including tax?
Vikki [24]
10% of 14 =1.4
14-1.4=12.6
6% of 14=0.84
12.6+0.84= 13.45
