Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50
Adult tickets cost 12.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent adult tickets
Let c represent child tickets
On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:
6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i
On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:
8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii
6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i
8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii
Multiply equation i by 4
Multiply equation ii by 5
24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii
40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv
Subtract iii from iv
16a = 200
a = 200/16
a = 12.50
Adult tickets cost 12.50
From equation ii,
8a + 4c = 130
8(12.50) + 4c = 130
100 + 4c = 130
4c = 130 - 100
4c = 30
c = 30/4
c = 7.50
Children tickets cost 7.50
It's D
Because a sphere is round, it's a 3D circle.
Hope this helps!
First, a bit of housekeeping:
<span>The meaning of four consecutive even numbers is 15. Wouldn't that be "mean," not meaning? Very different concepts!
The greatest of these numbers is _______ a^1
"a^1" means "a to the first power. There are no powers in this problem statement. Perhaps you meant just "a" or "a_1" or a(1).
The least of these numbers is ______a^2.
No powers in this problem statement. Perhaps you meant a_2 or a(2)
In this problem you have four numbers. All are even, and there's a spacing of 2 units between each pair of numbers (consecutive even).
The mean, or arithmetic average, of these numbers is (a+b+c+d) / 4, where a, b, c and d represent the four consecutive even numbers. Here this mean is 15. The mean is most likely positioned between b anc c.
So here's what we have: a+b+c+d
------------- = 15
4
This is equivalent to a+b+c+d = 60.
Since the numbers a, b, c and d are consecutive even integers, let's try this:
a + (a+2) + (a+4) + (a+6) = 60. Then 4a+2+4+6=60, or 4a = 48, or a=12.
Then a=12, b=14, c=16 and d=18. Note how (12+14+16+18) / 4 = 15, which is the given mean.
We could also type, "a(1)=12, a(2)=14, a(3) = 16, and a(4) = 18.

The answer is 9 because 3/5 to second power is 9/25 then you multiply it by 25 and you get 9
