8 0

Answer:

200 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know children and adults attended. We will let c be the number of children and a be the number of adults. Since 200 people attended, then c+a=200.

We also know they made $800 and adult tickets cost $4 and child tickets cost $2. We can write 2c+4a=800.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We start by solving the first equation for c. c+a=200 becomes c=200-a.

Now we substitute c=200-a into 2c+4a=800. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

  • 2(200-a)+4a=800
  • 400-2a+4a=800
  • 400+2a=800
  • 400-400+2a=800-400
  • 2a=400
  • a=200

This means that 200 adults attended and 0 children attended.

Okay so to represent juice we are going to use X, and to represent water we are going to use Y.

We also know that the first two starting equations are:

6x + y = 135

4x + 2y = 110

We can re-arrange the first equation so that it equals y (for now), so it is going to end up looking like this:

y = -6x +135

Now you can take that equation and plug into either one of the starting two equations.  I chose the second equation.  We just substitute what y equals in for y in the equation, so we have:

4x + 2(135 - 6x) =  110

Now solve

4x + 270 -12x = 110

-8x + 270 = 110

Subtract 270 from both sides

-8x = -160

Now divide by -8 on both sides

x = 20

We can now confirm that juice costs $20

Now lets plug that into the equation where we solved for y, to get the actual value of y.

y = 135 - 6(20)

y = 135 - 120

y = 15

The price of water costs $15

From this we can conclude that the cost of juice is $20 and the price of water is $15

If you are given $10 every 3.5 hours and you want to find the unit rate per hour, you want to solve for how much money you make every hour. You do this by dividing the $10 by the 3.5 hours, which will result in about $2.86 per hour. (This is a rounded value)
