Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.25 = 125 cents.

$42 = 4200 cents

Tickets sold at 75 cents = x

Tickets sold at 125 cents = y

x + y = 40

75x + 125y = 4200

Multiply the first equation by 75

75x + 75y = 3000

75x + 125y = 4200

Subtract the the second equation from the first.

75x + 75y = 3000

- 75x + 125y = 4200

-------------------------------

0 - 150y = - 1200

Divide both sides by - 150

-150y/-150 = -1200/-150

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 into the first equation

x + y = 42

x + 8 = 42

x = 42 - 8

x = 34

34 tickets were sold for 75 cents

8 tickets were sold for $1.25

Owning a small and successful business isn't easy! There is a monthly cost of shipping supplies and
andriy [413]

Answer:

C(x)=24,000+19,200x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mathematical Modeling</u>

To model a real-life situation, a mathematical model can be constructed in such a way it accurately represents the variables measured in the system.

This problem requires to build a model for the yearly cost of a small and successful business.

The first data is the fixed monthly cost or the money the owner must pay regardless of the number of employees he hires. This cost includes shipping supplies and products for $2,000. To operate for a full year, the fixed cost is 12*$2,000=$24,000.

The other component of the cost function is the variable cost of x employees. Given each employee costs $1,600 each month, having x employees cost 1,600x each month. For a full year, the variable cost will be

12*1,600x=19,200x.

We finally form the total cost function:

\boxed{C(x)=24,000+19,200x}

What is the best way to convert metric units (I'm really bad at this...)
Vladimir [108]
Necesitas reconocer los múltiplos u submúltiplos del sistema métrico decimal si son lineales por cada nivel que avanzas multiplicas o divides con el 10
siempre y cuando la unidad de medida es el metro ese queda al centro.
Km Hm Dam m dm cm mm yo los ubico en escalera el metro queda al centro y de cualquier lugar que te posicionas,buscas a donde quieres convertir y revisas si vas a la derecha multiplicas por 10 o si vas a la izquierda divides entre 10 siempre y cuando sea un lugar a donde te vas a mover si son dos lugares es con el 100 por que 10x10 es 100 y si son tres lugares es con el 1000 porque es 10x10x10.
ejemplo 2000m convertirlos a Hm= 20 Hm dividí 2000 entre 100 porque me moví 2 lugares a la izquierda  otro ejem. 100 Dam convertirlos a cm=100000 porque 100x 1000 por que avance 3 lugares a la derecha

What has no congruent sides and no congruent angles?
Mademuasel [1]
Hey there!

The correct answer to your question is a circle.

A circle doesn't have any congruent sides or congruent angles, meaning they don't have sides or angles that point in the same direction.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
