Answer: price of a senior citizen ticket = $3.71

Let the price of a child ticket = $4.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a senior citizen ticket = x

Let the price of a child ticket = y

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 22 senior citizen tickets and 10 child tickets for a total of $126. This will be:

22x + 10y = 126 ............ i

The school took in $51 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 9 child tickets. This will be:

3x + 9y = 51 ........... ii

22x + 10y = 126 ............ i

3x + 9y = 51 ........... ii

Multiply equation i by 3

Multiply equation ii by 22

66x + 30y = 378 ....... iii

66x + 198y = 1122 ........ iv

Subtract iii from iv

168y = 744

y = 744/168

y = 4.43

Since 3x + 9y = 51

3x + 9(4.43) = 51

3x + 39.87 = 51

3x = 51 - 39.87

3x = 11.13

x = 11.13/3

x = 3.71

I have five apples and ten oranges. If a fruit basket must contain at least one piece of fruit, how many kinds of fruit baskets
liq [111]

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's consider the case where you have 1 apple in the basket. The possible number of baskets you can have with 1 apple is 11: the case where you have no oranges besides the apples, the case where you have 1 orange, the case where you have 2 orange, etc.

This line of reasoning can be followed by each possible amount of apples you can have: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Keep in mind that in the case where you have no apples, you must exclude the case where you also have no oranges, because the problem tells you that the basket must have at least 1 fruit.

So, the answer would be:

x = 6*11 -1 = 65 possible baskets

A spinner numbered 1 to 6 is spun twice. What is the probability of getting a 3 on the first spin and an odd number on the secon
SashulF [63]

Answer:

0.083 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of getting 3 on the first spin is 1/6 because there are 6 possible outcomes and 1/2 on the second spin because 1,3,5 are all odds and 2,4,6 are even and when you multiple them together you get 0.083 repeating.

Solve the formula for C. Profit: P=R−C C=
Kipish [7]
You want to isolate C, so the first step would to have it be positive. You would do this by adding C to both sides of the equation to cancel the C on one of the sides out like this:
p + c = r - c + c \\ p + c = r
. Then you want to cancel out the P, so you subtract it on both sides like this:
c + p - p = r - p \\ c = r - p
And that is your answer
