Answer: each girl received 30 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of stickers that the boys received.

Let y represent the number of stickers that the girls received.

The total number of children was 42. 2/3 of the children were boys. It means that the number of boys were

2/3 × 42 = 28

The number if girls would be

42 - 28 = 14

The total number of stickers that the school principal shared was 840. It means that

28x + 14y = 840- - - - - - - - -1

Each of the boys received the same number of stickers while each girl received twice as many as each boy. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

28x + 14 × 2x = 840

28x + 28x = 840

56x = 840

x = 840/56

x = 15

y = 2x = 15 × 2

y = 30

The admission fee is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. If 2700 people enter and $7800 is collected how many children and
mash [69]

Number of children attended is 1200 and number of adults attended is 1500

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

Admission fee for each children = $ 1.50

Admission fee for each adult = $ 4.00

Let "c" be the number of children attended

Let "a" be the number of adults attended

Given that 2700 people enter and $7800 is collected

Number of children attended + number of adults attended = 2700

c + a = 2700  -------- eqn 1

Also given that $7800 is collected

Number of children attended x Admission fee for each children + number of adults attended x Admission fee for each adult = 7800

c \times 1.50 + a \times 4 = 7800

1.5c + 4a = 7800 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "a" and "c"

From eqn1,

a = 2700 - c ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

1.5c + 4(2700 - c) = 7800

1.5c + 10800 - 4c = 7800

-2.5c = -3000

c = 1200

Therefore from eqn 3,

a = 2700 - 1200

a = 1500

Therefore number of children attended = c = 1200

number of adults attended = a = 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you want to know how many rides he can do.

so

20$-3 = 17$

17÷.75 = 22.6 repeating

if you round up its about 23

(WORTH 20 POINTS) Which relation could be rewritten using FUNCTION notation?
xz_007 [3.2K]

B) can be rewritten in function notation.

To find the function we must isolate y. To do this, we must subtract x from each side which will give us y=3-x

Now, we can replace y with f(x), so the function is

f(x) =3-x

37. ABC has vertices A(0, 0) , B(0, 4) , and C(3, 0) . Write the equation for the line containing the altitude overline AR in st
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3x - 4y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle Δ ABC has vertices A(0,0), B(0,4) and C(3,0).

Therefore, the equation of the straight line BC in intercept form will be  

\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{4} = 1

⇒ 4x + 3y = 12

⇒ y = - \frac{4}{3}x + 4 .......... (1)

This is a equation in slope-intercept form and the slope is - \frac{4}{3}.

Now, the altitude AR is perpendicular to equation (1) and hence its slope will be \frac{3}{4}.

{Since, the product of slope of two mutually perpendicular straight line is always - 1}

Therefore, the equation of the altitude AR which passes through A(0,0) will be  

y = \frac{3}{4}x

⇒ 4y = 3x

⇒ 3x - 4y = 0 (Answer)
