Problema Solution

There were 155 people at the basketball game. Tickets for the game are $2.50 for students and $4 for adults. If the total money received for admission was $492.50, how many students and adults attended the game?

Answer provided by our tutors

let

s = the number of student tickets sold

a = the number of adult tickets sold

there were 155 people at the basketball game

s + a = 155

the total money received for admission was $492.50

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

by solving the system of equations

s + a = 155

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

we find

s = 85 students

a = 70 adults

Katy invests a total of $13,000 in two accounts paying 2% and 7% annual interest, respectively. How much was invested in each ac

kherson [118]

Answer:

2 % amount = 12000 7% amount = 1000 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2% amount

then 13 000 - x = 7% amount

.02x + .07 (13000-x) = 310

-.05x + 910 = 310

.05x = 600

x = 600/.05 = 12000 then the 7% amount is 1000

What is the exact distance from (-5,1) to (3,0).

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The distance between the two points is $\sqrt{65} \ \text{units}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between two coordinate pairs, we can use the distance formula:

$\displaystyle \bullet \ \ \ d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Our coordinate pairs need to be labeled accordingly, so we can use this naming system:

$\bullet \ \ \ (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$

This assigns a name to our points:

$x_1 = -5$
$y_1 = 1$
$x_2 = 3$
$y_2 = 0$

Therefore, we can plug these into the formula and solve:

$d=\sqrt{(3-(-5))^2+(0-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{8^2+1^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+1}\\\\d=\sqrt{65}$

Therefore, the distance between the two points is $\sqrt{65} \ \text{units}$ .
