You sell tickets for admission to your school play and collect a total of $104. Admission prices are $6 for adults and $4 for st

udents. You sold 21 tickets. How many student tickets did you sell ?

Answer:

11 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

1. write an equation:

First, variable x symbolizes the number of adults who bought tickets. And variable y symbolizes the number of students.

If each adult paid $6, and each student paid $4, and the total dollars you've collected is 104, this is how we'll write our equation:

6x + 4y = 104

2. we can write another equation based on this information: "You sold 21 tickets". Which concludes that the number of tickets adults and students had paid for equals the number of tickets you've sold:

x + y = 21

3. now, we've got two equations. Let's compensate:

x + y = 21

x = 21 - y

6x + 4y = 104

6 (21 - y) + 4y = 104

126 - 6y + 4y = 104

-6y + 4y = -22

-2y = -22

y = -22 / -2

<u>y = 11</u>

So the number of student tickets is <u>11</u>.

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21m. what is the volume of the sphere.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 14m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of the cylinder = $21m^3$

Required

Volume of the sphere

Given that the volume of the cylinder is 21, the first step is to solve for the radius of the cylinder;

<em>Using the volume formula of a cylinder</em>

The formula goes thus

$V = \pi r^2h$

Substitute 21 for V; this gives

$21 = \pi r^2h$

Divide both sides by h

$\frac{21}{h} = \frac{\pi r^2h}{h}$

$\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

The next step is to solve for the volume of the sphere using the following formula;

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Divide both sides by r

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3r}\pi r^3$

Expand Expression

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{21}{h} = \pi r^2$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{21}{h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{84}{3h}$

$\frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h}$

Multiply both sided by r

$r * \frac{V}{r} = \frac{28}{h} * r$

$V = \frac{28r}{h}$ ------ equation 1

From the question, we were given that the height of the cylinder and the sphere have equal value;

This implies that the height of the cylinder equals the diameter of the sphere. In other words

$h = D$ , where D represents diameter of the sphere

Recall that $D = 2r$

So, $h = D = 2r$

$h = 2r$

Substitute 2r for h in equation 1

$V = \frac{28r}{2r}$

$V = \frac{28}{2}$

$V = 14$

Hence, the volume of the sphere is 14m³
