Answer:

  • 90 student tickets
  • 65 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

For many "mixture" problems, it is convenient to use a variable for the quantity of the highest contributor. Here, we can use 'a' to represent the number of adult tickets, because adult tickets cost the most. Then the number of student tickets is (a+25), and the total revenue is ...

  6a +3(a+25) = 660

  9a +75 = 660

  9a = 585

  a = 65

  (a+25) = 90

The drama class sold 90 student tickets and 65 adult tickets.

Answer:

x = 5.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+7) = 8^(2x-3)

But; 4^(x+7) = 2^2(x+7)

8^(2x-3) = 2^3(2x-3)

2^2(x+7) = 2^3(2x-3)

Since the bases are the same;

2(x+7) = 3(2x-3)

2x + 14 = 6x -9

14 + 9 = 6x - 2x

23 = 4x

x = 23/4

<u>x = 5.75</u>

Stephen says that the numbers 38 and 40 are relatively prime. Explain why he is incorrect in making this statement. (make a good
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

He is incorrect in this statement because 38 and 40 both have factors, other than 1 x itself. Prime numbers are numbers the only have 1 factor pair, and that is 1 x itself. Factors are the numbers you multiply to get the end result, and an example is 10x4=40. The factors of 40 are 8x5, 4x10, 2x20, and of course, 1x40. The factors of 38 are 2x19, and 1x38.

Roy Gross is considering an investment that pays 7.6 percent, compounded annually. How much will he have to invest today so that
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: he should invest $16129 today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $P represent the initial amount that should be invested today. It means that principal,

P = $P

It would be compounded annually. This means that it would be compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal would be compounded is 7.6%. So

r = 7.6/100 = 0.076

The duration of the investment would be 6 years. So

t = 6

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.

A = 25000

Therefore

25000 = P(1+0.076/1)^1×6

25000 = P(1.076)^6

25000 = 1.55P

P = 25000/1.55

P = $16129
