Answer: There were 10 students in the class on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students of the first day.

Given: A college writing seminar increased its size by 50 percent from the first to the second day.

i.e. Number of students on second day = (Number of students on first day)+(50% of Number of students on first day)

= x +50% of x

= x+0.50x

= (1.50)x

=1.50x

Since, it is given that  the total number of students in the seminar on the second day was 15.

i.e. 1.50x=15

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{15}{1.5}\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{150}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

Hence, there were 10 students in the class on the first day.

An ice skating show earned 15,385 in one night. Tickets for the show cost $25 for adults and $15 for children. The number of adu
Degger [83]

Answer:

Number of adults that attended the show = 400

Number of children that attended the show = 359

Total people who attended the show = 759

Step-by-step explanation:

Total earned = 15,385

Adults = $25

Children = $15

Let

Adults = A

Children = C

The number of adults who attendee the show was 41 more than the number of children who attended the show

A = C + 41

25A + 15C = 15,385

Substitute

A = C + 41

25(C+41) + 15C = 15,385

25C + 1,025 + 15C = 15,385

40C + 1,025 = 15,385

40C = 15,385 - 1,025

40C = 14,360

Divide both sides by 40

C = 14,360 / 40

= 359

C = 359

Substitute C = 359 into

A = C + 41

A = 359 + 41

= 400

A = 400

Number of adults that attended the show = 400

Number of children that attended the show = 359

Total people who attended the show = 759
