Answer:

188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

Let the number of children admitted be $x.$

And the the number of adults admitted be $y.$

So, the total people enter the park:

$x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)$

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

$1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1):

$1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.$

Thus, the number of adults = 145.

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of $y$ in equation (1) we get:

$x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.$

Hence, the number of children = 188.

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

A 90 oz. bottle of shampoo is sold for $18.95. What is the price per ounce

Veseljchak [2.6K]

This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.

90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply

90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90

x = 18.95 / 90

x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.

Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
