I think i need a bit more information but assuming if this is what you are looking for:
to write 50,000 in exponent form look for its multiples other than 1 and itself and then go from there.
This is what i general do, i pick a divisible number and keep dividing till i get to one.
50,000/2 = 25,000
25,000/5 = 5,000
5,000/10 = 500
500/10 = 50
50/10 = 5
5/5 = 1
so i divided by 2, 5,10, 10, 10, and 5 (three 10s, two 5s and one 2)
then i look if these numbers can be written in smaller divisible numbers (i.e. 10 is 2 and 5)
so 2, 5, (2,5), (2,5) ,(2,5), and 5 as you can see that cannot be divided into smaller numbers so we have thus five 5s and four 2s
therefore 50,000 = 5^5 x 2^4
hope this helps :P
(P.S. it is the best way i can explain online without a whole course on this)
Answer:
adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults
Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write
x + y = 26 → (1)
Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write
5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides
y = 26 - x → (3)
Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)
5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side
5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194
- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )
- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 9
Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y
y = 26 - 9 = 17
Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17
number of children tickets sold = 9
