Answer:

Price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the price a senior citizen ticket be x .

Let us assume that the price a student citizen ticket be y .

As given

The school that Jack goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 9 senior citizen tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $156.

Equtaions becomes

9x + 8y = 156

As given

The school took in $163 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 9 student tickets.

Equations becomes

7x + 9y = 163

Multipy 9x + 8y = 156 by 9 .

81x + 72y = 1404

Multiply 7x + 9y = 163 by 8 .

56x + 72y = 1304

Subtracted 56x + 72y = 1304 from 81x + 72y = 1404 .

81x - 56x + 72y - 72y = 1404 - 1304

25x = 100

$x = \frac{100}{25}$

x = $ 4

Putting value of x in the 56x + 72y = 1304 .

56 × 4 + 72y = 1304

224 + 72y = 1304

72y = 1304 - 224

72y = 1080

$y = \frac{1080}{72}$

y = $15

Therefore the price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

there is a bowl of fruit on the table there are twice as many apples as pears and one more orange than Apples 8 pieces are eithe

UNO [17]

There are two pears because 8 pieces are either oranges or bananas and there are 3 bananas so that means there are 5 oranges there is 1 more orange than apples so there are 4 apples and since there are twice as many apples as they are pears there are 2 pears.

Answer:

6^10

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a^ -b = 1/ a^b

So 1/ a^-b = a^b

1/6^-10 = 6^10

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solutuion A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solutuion A

ratelena [41]

a = amount (in oz) of solution A

b = amount of solution B

The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so

a + b = 110

Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So

0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5

Solve for a and b:

b = 110 - a

0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5

0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5

0.25 a = 16.5

a = 66 ==> b = 44
