Answer:

  • adult: 325
  • children's: 225

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works well to let a variable represent the higher-value item in the mix. Here, we can let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then the total revenue is ...

  1.50a +1.00(550 -a) = 712.50

  0.50a = 162.50 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 550 and collect terms

  a = 325

  c = 550 -325 = 225

325 adult and 225 children's tickets were sold.

The equation would be
g + (g + 9) = 45
2g + 9 = 45
- 9
2g = 36
÷ 2

The Hudson high school wrestling team just won the state tournament and have been awarded a triangular pennant to hang on the wa
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Base of the  triangular pennant = 1.5 feet long.
  • Area of the triangular pennant = 2.25 Square feet.

Now, we know that:

Area of a Triangle=\frac{1}{2}$ X Base X Height

Substituting the given values, we have:

2.25=\dfrac{1}{2}$ X 1.5 X Height\\\\2.25=$\dfrac{1.5}{2}$  X Height\\\\Cross multiply\\\\2.25*2=1.5  X Height\\\\Divide both sides by 1.5 to solve for the height\\\\\dfrac{2.25*2}{1.5}=\dfrac{1.5  X Height}{1.5}\\\\$Height of the Triangle =3 feet

Therefore, the height of the pennant is 3 feet.
