Answer:
450 people paid the discounted fare and 750 people paid the regular fare.
Step-by-step explanation:
let r be regular fares paid and d be discounted fares paid
Total fares = 0.8r + 0.4d = 780
Since 1200 people paid the fares,
r + d = 1200 = Total people
Rearrange this formula:
r = 1200 - d
Substitute r into Total Fares formula
Total fares = 0.8r + 0.4d
780 = 0.8(1200-d) + 0.4d
780 = 960 - 0.8d + 0.4d
780 = 960 - 0.4d
0.4d = 180
d = 450
Sub d=450 into Total people formula
r + d = 1200 = Total people
r + 450 = 1200
r = 1200-450
r = 750
450 people paid the discounted fare and 750 people paid the regular fare.
Answer: FALSE
Reason: The Discriminant determines how many or what are the nature of the roots. To get the Discriminant of a quadratic equation, find the square the value of 'b' subtracted to the product of 4, the value of 'a', and the value of 'c'.
<h2>D - b² - 4ac</h2>

Answer:
605 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
and there are 847 girls
we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:
5:7
= 5/7
= x/847
Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.
5 x
--- x ------
7 847
The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.
the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.
847 * 5 = 4,235
4,235 divided by 7 is 605
605 is your answer.
The cross method can be used in most situations.
* is used to represent multiplication btw
(5+1+1)*2 + 5*5*5*(1+5)*4 = 3014
Rooms = 5*5 = 25
Cats per room = 5 + 5*5 = 30
All cats legs = 25*30*4 = 3000
All humans = 1+1+5 = 7
All humans legs = 7*2 = 14
All legs = 3000 + 14 = 3014
