At an amusement park , the cost of 3 adult tickets and 4 children’s ticket is $126.50 another customer paid $120.50 for 2 adult

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1 Adult ticket=$21.50 ; 1 Children ticket=$15.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3A+4C=126.50

2A+5C=120.50

We find the price of adult tickets 1st.

15A+20C=632.5

8A+20C=482

7A=632.5-482=150.5

1A=21.50

Now we find Children ticket

6A+8C=253

6A+15C=361.50

7C=108.50

1C=15.50

When x-y=3 work out the value of y-x

GalinKa [24]

The value of y-x is (-3)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given: The value of x-y=3

To find: The value of y-x

$\bold{x-y=3\rightarrow (1)}$

Let's multiply the equation (1) by (- 1) on both sides,

$\Rightarrow\bold{(x - y)\times(- 1) = 3\times(- 1)}$

$\Rightarrow\bold{-(x-y)=-3}$

On multiplying the sign,

$\Rightarrow\bold{(-x+y)=-3}$

The above equation can also be written as,

$\Rightarrow\bold{y-x=-3\rightarrow \text{(The required equation)}}$

<u>Multiplication of signs:</u>

$\Rightarrow( + )\times( + ) = ( + )$

$\Rightarrow( + )\times( - ) = ( - )$

$\Rightarrow( - )\times( + ) = ( - )$

$\Rightarrow( - )\times( - ) = ( + )$

In simpler terms, when we multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive and when we multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative.

Theo earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of September, he was paid $3,835.25 based on his monthly sales of $12,850.

hodyreva [135]

Theo's base salary using a simultaneous equation approach is $2,996.22 .

In order to determine the base salary of Theo, we can express the two earnings and sales amounts using simultaneous equation, that we would solve to arrive at the base salary

Bear in mind that total earnings are determined as base salary plus commission

Let X be the base salary

Let R be the rate of commission

commission =sales*rate of commission

When earnings were $3,835.25 and sales is $12,850, we have the below equation:

X+(12,850*R)=3,835.25

X+12850R=3,835.25 .................... equation (1)

When earnings were $3,641 and sales is $9,875, we have the below equation:

X+(9,875*R)=3641

X+9875R=3641 ......................... equation (2)

subtract equation 2 from 1

2975R=194.25

R=194.25/2975

R=commission rate=6.52941176470588%

substitute for R in equation 1 to arrive at X(base salary)

X+(12850*6.52941176470588%)=3,835.25

X=3,835.25-(12850*6.52941176470588%)

X=base salary=$2,996.22

Find the volume of the prism

leva [86]

Using the formula given for area:

Area = 1/2 (7 +5)4 = 1/2(12)4 = 24 square cm.

Now to find the volume multiply the area by the depth:

24 x 6 = 144 cubic cm.

Sara is a drummer in her school is marching band she wants to make a geometrically similar model of a snare drum for her stuffed

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the snare drum = r

and radius of the model = R

Ratio of the dimensions of the snare drum and the model = 1 : 4

So, $\frac{r}{R}=\frac{1}{4}$

Now as per question, dimensions of the snare drum is multiplied by a scale factor of $\frac{1}{2}$

Radius of the snare drum = $\frac{r}{2}$

Ratio of the radius of the snare drum and cylindrical model ,

$\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{R} =\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{r}{2R}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{r}{R}=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the cylinder with Sara's dimensions will be geometrically similar but the scale factor will be 1 : 2

Option B is the answer.
