Let
x =  the number of tickets sold at $27 each
y =  the number of tickets sold at $40 each

Because 5000 tickets were sold, therefore
x + y = 5000              (1)

Because the revenue generated was $158,400, therefore
27x + 40y = 158400      (2)

From (1),
y = 5000 - x          (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
27x + 40(5000 - x) = 158400
-13x + 200000 = 158400
-13x = -41600
x = 3200
y = 5000 - x = 5000 - 3200 = 1800

Answer:
3200 tickets at $27 each, and
1800 tickets at $40 each

Ella takes 1 3/5 hours to complete a painting. Holly takes 3/4 of the time that Ella takes. How long will Holly take to complete
Misha Larkins [42]
1. you have to figure out what 3/4 of Ella's time is.
1 \frac{3}{5}  =  \frac{8}{5}
(You find that out by multiplying 5x1. Then add 3.)
2. Convert the fractions into decimals. (This will help make it easier when dividing.)
\frac{8}{5}  = 8 \div 5 = 1.6
\frac{3}{4}  = 3 \div 4 = .75
3. Next you are going to divide 1.6 by .75
1.6 \div .75 = 2.13
4. Now multiple 2.13 by 5.
2.13 \times 5 = 10.65
Answer is 10

A swimming pool is to be drained. The pool is shaped like a rectangular prism with length 30 feet, wide 18 ft, and depth 4ft. Su
Gala2k [10]

Answer: it will take 9 hours to empty the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool is shaped like a rectangular prism with length 30 feet, wide 18 ft, and depth 4ft. It means that when the pool is full, its volume is

30 × 18 × 4 = 2160 ft³

If water is pumped out of the pool at a rate of 216ft3 per hour, then the rate at which the water in the pool is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(initial amount of water in the pool when completely full).

d represents the common difference(rate at which it is being pumped out)

n represents the number of terms(hours) in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 2160 degrees

d = - 216 ft3

Tn = 0(the final volume would be zero)

We want to determine the number of terms(hours) for which Tn would be zero. Therefore,

0 = 2160 - 216 (n - 1)

2160 = 216(n - 1) = 216n + 216

216n = 2160 - 216

216n = 1944

n = 1944/216

n = 9
