Inequality : 2n + 2 > 16
2n > 16 - 2
2n > 14
n > 14/2
n > 7
-> Answer C
Answer:
The equation is already solved.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(14 + 7)/2 = 21/2= 10.5
(-2 + (-8))/2= -10/2= -5
Midpoint(10.5, -5)
You can work these in your head if you consider the revenue generated by the least contributor (children's tickets) and the difference in revenue between that and the larger contributor ($2.00 -1.50 = 0.50).
If all were children's tickets, the revenue would be 500*$1.50 = $750.00. The actual revenue exceeded that amount by $862.50 -750.00 = 112.50. This difference in revenue is made up by the sale of $112.50/$0.50 = 225 adult tickets. Then the number of children's tickets is 500 -225 = 275.
225 adult tickets were sold
275 children's tickets were sold.
_____
If you need an equation, you can write an equation using a variable for the number of adult tickets sold (the largest contributor).
.. (500 -a)*1.50 +a*2.00 = 862.50
.. 0.50a = (862.50 -750.00) . . . . . does this look familiar, yet?
.. a = 112.50/0.50 = 225
