The 9th graders are selling tickets to raise money for a class field trip. They are selling student tickets for $5 and adult tic

kets for $9. The 9th graders received a total of $240 from sales. In total, 40 tickets were sold. Write a system to represent this situation. Be sure to define your variables. Use your system to determine how many tickets of each type the students sold.

Answer:

<em>Total number of adult tickets sold = 10</em>

<em>Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of student tickets sold.

Let y be the number of adult tickets sold.

As per the question statement, total tickets sold are 40.

x +y =40 ...... (1)

Price of each student ticket = $5

Sales from students' tickets = Price of each students ticket \times Number of students tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 5 \times x

Price of each adult ticket = $9

Sales from adult's tickets = Price of each adult's ticket \times Number of adult tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 9 \times y

Total sales is done by students and adult tickets is $240 as per the question statement.

\Rightarrow 5x + 9y = 240 ......(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) using elimination method:

Equation (2) - 5 \times (1) :

5x  + 9y -5x-5y = 240-200\\\Rightarrow 4y = 40\\\Rightarrow y =10

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Putting y=10 in equation (1):

x+10 = 40\\\Rightarrow x = 30

Total number of students tickets sold = 30

<em>Total number of adult tickets sold = 10</em>

<em>Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30</em>

Let W be the subspace of R5 spanned by the vectors w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, where
Gwar [14]
To find W⊥, you can use the Gram-Schmidt process using the usual inner-product and the given 5 independent set of vectors. 

<span>Define projection of v on u as </span>
<span>p(u,v)=u*(u.v)/(u.u) </span>
<span>we need to proceed and determine u1...u5 as: </span>
<span>u1=w1 </span>
<span>u2=w2-p(u1,w2) </span>
<span>u3=w3-p(u1,w3)-p(u2,w3) </span>
<span>u4=w4-p(u1,w4)-p(u2,w4)-p(u3,w4) </span>
<span>u5=w5-p(u4,w5)-p(u2,w5)-p(u3,w5)-p(u4,w5) </span>

<span>so that u1...u5 will be the new basis of an orthogonal set of inner space. </span>

<span>However, the given set of vectors is not independent, since </span>
<span>w1+w2=w3, </span>
<span>therefore an orthogonal basis cannot be found. </span>
