Answer:

They sold 30 adult tickets and 50 kids tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of adult tickets sold

y is the number of kids tickets sold.

80 tickets are sold

This means that x + y = 80, or also, x = 80 - y

For a Saturday matinee, adult tickets cost $7.50 and kids under 12 pay only $6.00. Tickets were sold for a total of $525.

This means that:

7.5x + 6y = 525

Since x = 80 - y

7.5(80 - y) + 6y = 525

600 - 7.5y + 6y = 525

1.5y = 75

y = \frac{75}{1.5} = 50

x = 80 - y = 80 - 50 = 30

They sold 30 adult tickets and 50 kids tickets.

Consider a melody to be 7 notes from a single piano octave, where 2 of the notes are white key notes and 5 are black key notes.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

35,829,630 melodies

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 half-steps in an octave and therefore 12^7 arrangements of 7 notes if there were no stipulations.

Using complimentary counting, subtract the inadmissible arrangements from 12^7 to get the number of admissible arrangements.

\displaystyle \_\_ \:B_1\_\_ \:B_2\_\_ \:B_3\_\_ \:B_4\_\_ \:B_5\_\_

B_1 can be any note, giving us 12 options. Whatever note we choose, B_2, B_{...} must match it, yielding 12\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1=12. For the remaining two white key notes, W_1 and W_2, we have 11 options for each (they can be anything but the note we chose for the black keys).

There are three possible arrangements of white key groups and black key groups that are inadmissible:

WWBBBBB\\WBBBBBW\\BBBBBWW

White key notes can be different, so a distinct arrangement of them will be considered a distinct melody. With 11 notes to choose from per white key, the number of ways to inadmissibly arrange the white keys is \displaystyle\frac{11\cdot 11}{2!}.

Therefore, the number of admissible arrangements is:

\displaystyle 12^7-3\left(\frac{12\cdot 11\cdot 11}{2!}\right)=\boxed{35,829,630}
