Given :

The admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults.

On a certain day, 2,200 people enter the fair and $5,050 is collected.

To Find :

How many children and how many adults attended.

Solution :

Let, number of children and adults attended are c and a.

So, c + a = 2200      ....1)

Now, fair collected is given by :

1.5c + 4a = 5050     ....2)

Putting value of a from equation 1) to 2), we get :

1.5c + 4( 2200 - c ) = 5050

1.5c - 4c = 5050 - 8800

2.5c = 3750

c = 1500

a = 2200 - 1500

a = 700

Therefore, 1500 children and 700 adults attended the fair.

What is the image of(8,12) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/4 centered at the origin?
max2010maxim [7]
<h3>Answer:  (2, 3)</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

1/4 = 0.25 is the scale factor

Multiply this with each coordinate of the given point

0.25*8 = 2 is the new x coordinate

0.25*12 = 3 is the new y coordinate

So (8,12) moves to (2,3) after applying the dilation

The scale factor k makes 0 < k < 1 true, so the point is closer to the origin after applying the dilation.

--------

Side note: this trick of multiplying the scale factor by each coordinate only works if the dilation is centered at the origin. For any other center, you'll need to apply a translation first, dilate, then translate back again.

Max was on vacation twice as long is Jared and half as long as Wesley. The boys were on vacation a total of three weeks. How man
nasty-shy [4]
To begin with, the question is asking for the answer in days, so let's change 3 weeks to days. There are 7 days in 1 week; 3 weeks times 7 days = 21 days.
21 total days of vacation.

Max + Jared + Wesley = 21 days
(Let's use the first letter of their name to represent their vacation time)

M + J + W = 21 [This is the equation we'll be coming back to]

Now, we can use the clues given in the question to have an equation for each variable/boy. 

Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared. We can interpret this as  M= 2J Max was on vacation only half as long as Wesley. We can interpret this as M = (1/2)W.

So far we have these three equations: M + J + W = 21M = 2J M = (1/2)W

To have an equation for each individual boy, we must rearrange the last two equations in the list.

First, M = 2J.
Divide both sides by 2
M/2 = 2J/2
(1/2)M = J

Second, <span>M = (1/2)W
Multiply both sides by 2
2M = W

New equations:
</span><span>M + J + W = 21 [From the old list]
</span>J = (1/2)W
W = 2M

Now we can substitute the last two equations into the first one. 
M + J + W = 21
M + (1/2)W + 2M = 21
[Combine Like Terms]
<span>(7/2)M = 21 
</span>
Then, solve for M (Max's vacation days):
Multiply both sides by 2/7
(\frac{2}{7})* (\frac{7}{2}m)= (\frac{2}{7})*(21)
M = 6

Now we know Max was on vacation for 6 days.

If Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared, that means Jared was on vacation HALF as long as Max.

So...
<span>J = (1/2)M 
J = (1/2) * 6
J = 3
Jared was on vacation for 3 days 
</span>
Wesley was on vacation twice as long as Max so...  W = 2M 
W= 2*6
W = 12
Wesley was on vacation for 12 days. 

Let's double check our answer:
M + J + W = 21 days<span>6 + 3 + 12 = 21   
The numbers work out so the math is correct. Hope this helps and makes sense!</span>
