Answer:

x = -37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion so -5/12.5 = 15/x

Solve for x so -5x = 15(12.5) so -5x = 187.5 so x = -37.5

17. Admission prices to Cinema I to see a movie are $9.50 for an adult and $6.50 for a child. The admission charge at Cinema II
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. 9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8   when c>0

b. Must be one child more than the no. of adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Cinema 1:

for adult = $9.50

for child = $6.50

For Cinema 2:

Per person regardless of age = $8.00

First of all, we will find out the condition when per person rates in both cinema are equal.

Assume x = no. of adults

y = no. of children

Rate per person in Cinema I = Rate per person in Cinema II

(9.5x + 6.5y)/(x+y)   =   8

9.5x + 6.5y = 8(x+y)

9.5x + 6.5y = 8x + 8y

9.5x-8x = 8y-6.5y

=> x = y

So rates are equal when no. of adults equals no. of children

For Cinema I to have better rates, no. of children should be atleast 1 more than the no. of adult. In this way the rate per person of Cinema I will be less than 8

Hence we form an inequality when y = x+c and c > 0

9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8   when c>0

Hence there must be 1 more children than the no. of adults attending Cinema I for it to be a better deal.
