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

1.) 4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5
4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5
4 - t = 3t - 8
3t + t = 4 + 8
4t = 12
t = 12/4 = 3

2.) 8x - 2(x + 1) = 2(3x - 1)
8x - 2x - 2 = 6x - 2
6x - 2 = 6x - 2
0 = 0
solution is identity.

3.) 3(c - 2) = 2(c - 6)
3c - 6 = 2c - 12
3c - 2c = -12 + 6
c = -6

4.) 0.5(m + 4) = 3(m - 1)
0.5m + 2 = 3m - 3
3m - 0.5m = 2 + 3
2.5m = 5
m = 5/2.5 = 2
m = 2

Sam's problem: The median number of 2, 18, 3, 22, 5 is 10. Your solution: Was Sam correct? Select the reason from the selections
Mumz [18]

Answer:

It's not, the Median is 5 the mean is 10!

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. To find the median, the data should be arranged in order from least to greatest. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.

At the circus, a clown is shot from a cannon. This situation can be modeled by the function: h = – 16t2 + 45t + 15, where 'h' is
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The maximum height is 46.64 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the derivative of h whit respect to t and equal this to zero we would find the value of t which corresponds to the maximum h.

So, we have the function h(t):

h(t)=-16t^{2} + 45t + 15

Taking the derivative, we have:

\frac{dh(t)}{dt}=-32t + 45=0

Now, we solve it for t:

t=\frac{45}{32}=1.4\: s

Finally, we put this value of t into the original equation.

h(t)=-16(1.4)^{2} + 45(1.4) + 15

h_{max}=46.64\: ft      

Therefore, the maximum height is 46.64 feet. All the given options are wrong, the one that comes closest is option A.

I hope it helps you!
