Answer:

Yes, the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know this, we need to determine the total sale of the park in June and July for both adults and children.

In the month of june we have the following:

Visitors: 9081

Ratio A:C = 4:5

Adult ticket: 10$

Child ticket: 8$

So, if the ratio is 4:5, we can say that in 9 visitors, we have 4 adults and 5 child, therefore we can determine how many adults went in june:

If  4 adults --------> 9 people

Then  X adults ---------> 9081 people

Solving for X:

X = 9081 * 4 / 9 = 4036 adults

This means that the number of child is:

C = 9081 - 4036 = 5045 childs

The total sales of the park in June would be:

T = (4036 * 10) + (5045 * 8) = 80,720$

This is the sale for the month of June. Let's apply the same procedure to the month of July, and then, we'll compare the sales and the percentage.

In the month of july we have the following:

Visitors: 7000

Ratio A:C = 2:5

Adult ticket: 15$

Child ticket: 11$

So, if the ratio is 2:5, we can say that in 7 visitors:

If  2 adults --------> 7 people

Then  X adults ---------> 7000 people

Solving for X:

X = 7000 * 2 / 7 = 2000 adults

This means that the number of child is:

C = 7000 - 2000 = 5000 childs

The total sales of the park in June would be:

T = (2000 * 15) + (5000 * 11) = 85,000$

As we can see, the month of July was better, now, let's calculate the percentage of increase:

% = 85,000 - 80,720 / 85,000

% = 0.05035 * 100

<h2>% = 5.035%</h2>

Hence, we can conclude that the manager was right and it was a increase of more than 5% (But just for a pinch).

Hope this helps

5. Classify each triangle by its angle and sides
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

5 is D

6 is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Define:

Equilateral - All sides and angles are congruent

Isosceles: Two congruent sides and two congruent angles

Scalene: No congruent sides or angles

Right triangle: A triangle with a right angle ( note that a right angle has a measure of 90 degrees )

obtuse triangle: A triangle with an obtuse angle ( obtuse angles have a measure of more than 90 degrees. )

Acute triangle : A triangle with an acute angle ( an acute angle has a measure of less than 90 degrees )

Answer:

the triangle shown in # 5 has a right angle and 2 congruent sides and angles

Therefore the triangle in #5 is a right isosceles

The triangle shown in #6 has an angle with a measure that is more than 90 degrees and have no congruent sides or angles therefore the triangle in #6 is an obtuse scalene.

  • number of games he scored his points remain the same which is mean.
  • non linear is only when there is no straight line passing.
  • Linear is either exponential or polynomial.
  • Positive as the game increase he scoring abilities increases.
  • Negative as the game increases his scoring decreases.
  • Negative x axis will have more number of points.
  • Negative y axis will high to low of the graph.
  • Linear lines are best way to predict a data doesn't work will all data.
