Answer:

kids= $3

Adults= $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let kids be x

and adults be y

First family

5x+2y= 25-----------------1

Second family

3x+y= 14-----------------2

Solve 1 and 2

5x+2y= 25 X 1

3x+y= 14     X 2

5x+2y= 25

-6x+2y= 28

-x= -3

x= 3

Put x= 3 in 1

5x+2y= 25

5(3)+2y= 25

15=2y= 25

2y= 25-15

2y= 10

divide both sides by 2

y= 10/2

y= 5

Hence kids= $3

Adults= $5

Which expression is equivalent to Negative 2 and one-fourth divided by negative two-thirds? StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction d
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction divided by two-thirds

i.e.

-\dfrac{9}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find equivalent expression to :

Negative 2 and one-fourth divided by negative two-thirds

i.e.

-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = ?

We have to convert the the mixed fraction form -2\frac{1}{4} to simpler \frac{p}{q} fraction form.

Let us learn the concept first.

Mixed fraction is combination of a whole number and a fraction.

Expression of the form a\frac{b}{c} have the following understanding:

c is the divider

b is the remainder and

a is the quotient.

To convert mixed fraction to fraction we can use the following:

a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a \times c+b}{c}

\therefore -2\dfrac{1}{4} = -\dfrac{(2 \times 4+1)}{4} = -\dfrac{9}{4}

Hence

-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = -\dfrac{9}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3}

i.e. the given expression is equivalent to :

Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction divided by two-thirds

Akron Cinema sells an average of 500 tickets on Mondays, with a standard deviation of 50 tickets. If a simple random sample is t
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the number of tickets sales from Mondays is normally distributed. the formula for normal distribution would be applied. It is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = ticket sales from monday

u = mean amount of ticket

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 500 tickets

s = 50 tickets

We want to find the probability that the mean will be greater than 510. It is expressed as

P(x greater than 510) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 510)

For x = 510

z = (510 - 500)/50 = 0.2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9773

P(x greater than 510) = 1 - 0.9773 = 0.0227
