Answer:

197 adult tickets and 354 child tickets were sold for the event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Family Fine Arts Center charges $ 22 per adult and $ 14 per child under 12 years old for its performances, and on a recent weekend evening when 551 people paid admission, the total receipts were $ 9290, to determine how many who paid were children under 12 years old the following calculation must be performed:

22 - 14 = 8

551 x 14 = 7.714

9,290 - 7,714 = 1,576

1,576 / 8 = 197

551 - 197 = 354

197 x 22 + 354 x 14 = X

4.334 + 4.956 = X

Therefore, 197 adult tickets and 354 child tickets were sold for the event.

Jay estimates that a basketball weights about .5 pounds. Shawna estimates that a basketball weights about.05. Whose estimate is

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = $\frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4}$ × 100 = 64.28 %

Error in Shawna's answer = $\frac{1.4 - 0.05}{1.4}$ × 100 = 96.42%

From this, It is obvious that Jay's answer has a lower percentage error when compared to the actual value.
