Question:

An hour before show time, only 155 people are seated for rockfest. According to the ticket sales, 95% of the people have yet to arrive. How many tickets were sold?

Answer:

3100 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p = 95\%$ --- Yet to arrive

$Seated = 155$

Required

Determine the total number of people

If 95% are yet to arrive, then 5% have arrived (i.e. 100% - 95%)

So, the total number of people is calculated as:

$5\% * x = 155$

Where x represents the total number of tickets

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{155}{5\%}$

$x = \frac{155}{0.05}$

$x = 3100$

I need help with the steps. The answer is (5,2)

Elden [556K]

So with this, I will be using the substitution method. With the first equation, substitute (y+3) into the x variable and solve for y:

$y+3+y=7\\2y+3=7\\2y=4\\y=2$

Next, now that we have the value of y, substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

$x+2=7\\x=5\\\\x=2+3\\x=5$

<u>And this is how you get your final answer (5,2).</u>

If the temperature outside increases by 3 1/2 degrees every 1 1/2 hours, by how much will the temperature increase after 4 hours

Darya [45]

Answer:

Part 1: 7/3 degrees/hour

Part 2: 28/3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

3 1/2 degrees per 1 1/2 hours =

= (3 1/2)/(1 1/2)

= (7/2) / (3/2)

= 7/2 * 2/3

= 7/3 degrees/hour

The rate is 7/3 degree per hour

Part 2:

In 4 hours, the temperature goes up 4 times what it goes up in 1 hour.

4 hours * 7/3 degree/hour = 28/3 degrees

A rectangle has a length of 6cm, and an area of 18cm aquared. what is the width of the rectangle?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is ...

A = LW . . . . . . area is the product of length and width

Fill in the given values and solve for the width (W).

18 cm² = (6 cm)W

(18 cm²)/(6 cm) = W = (18/6) cm²/cm . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of W

W = 3 cm

The width of the rectangle is 3 cm.
