Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent adult tickets

Let c represent child tickets

On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 4

Multiply equation ii by 5

24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii

40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv

Subtract iii from iv

16a = 200

a = 200/16

a = 12.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

From equation ii,

8a + 4c = 130

8(12.50) + 4c = 130

100 + 4c = 130

4c = 130 - 100

4c = 30

c = 30/4

c = 7.50

Children tickets cost 7.50

For a trapezoid, the following formula relates the area a, the two bases a and b, and the height h. a= g (a
Dovator [93]
A - area of a trapezoid;
a, b - two bases.
A = h * ( a + b ) / 2            / * 2  ( we have to multiply both sides by 2 )
2 A = h *( a + b )
2 A = h a + h b
h b = 2 A - h a
b = ( 2 A - h a ) / h
b = 2 A/h - a

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 192 ft building with an initial velocity of 64 feet
Airida [17]

Answer:

t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

ground height = 0

(are you sure your formula is correct? isn't it - 16t²?)

if h=16t² +64t+192 is true then

16t² +64t+192 = 0

t² + 4t + 12 = 0

t = (-4 ± √(4² - 4*12)) / 2*1 = (-4 ± √-32) / 2 = -2 ± 2√-2

There is no solution of t

if it is h= - 16t² +64t+192

0 =- 16t² + 64t + 192

t² - 4t - 12 = 0

(t + 2) (t -6) = 0

t should be positive

t = 6 sec

<h3>Line of best fit </h3>

From the question, we are to determine if the line can be used to make reasonable predictions of the number of cheese pizzas that would be sold in the upcoming weeks

In the graph, we have a scatterplot.

The line drawn is the <u>line of best fit</u>

Hence,

Yes, the line can be used to make reasonable predictions of the number of cheese pizzas that would be sold in the upcoming weeks. This is because the line is the line of best fit.

Can someone help me with this quickly please.​
ELEN [110]

Answer:

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total outcomes.

1) You want to find Oranges, so that is your desired outcome:

There are 4 oranges in the bowl.

Now sum up all the fruits to get the total:

9+4+7+3+6 = 29

Therefore you have 4/29

2) Same idea, count the peaches and put it over total:

3/29

3) This time, you still want to use the same idea, but its just your desired outcomes that have increased. So instead of just having one fruit, now you want to add the total of 2 fruits as your desired outcome.

(9+4)/29

= 13/29

4) To find the probability of a fruit other than a plum, you can use complementary counting. Since the maximum probability is one, we can find what we dont want, and the outcome of that subtracted from one must be the results that we want.

So a plum is 6/29

1-6/29 = 23/29

5) Same idea as what is used in problems 3 and 4, just a combination of the 2.

(4+3)/29

1-7/29

= 22/29
