C. It is the mean. Add all of the ages up and divide by how many there are.
Answer:
75 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
16 times x=1200 or
16x=1200
divide both sides by 16
1200/16
so we simplify 1200/16 by factoring out the ones (4/8=1/2 times 4/4 since 4/4=1)
1200=3*2*2*2*2*5*5
16=2*2*2*2*1
so we notice that there are four 2's in both so those are the 'ones' so cross them off and get
3*5*5/1 or 75/1 or 75 hours

The solution to the system is then
So the total number of movie tickets sold was 1200. This means that a + c = 1200 because a represents the number of adult tickets purchased and c represents the number of child tickets purchased. The total money they made off the movie was $6400. This means 7 multiplied by the number of adult tickets would result in the total they earned off adult tickets, and 3 multiplied by the number of child tickets would result in the total they earned off child tickets. This total equals 6400. So 7a + 3c = 6400. These are our two equations: a + c = 1200 and 7a + 3c = 6400. The answer choice that matches this is choice A, so your answer is A. Hope this helps.
