Answer:

C) 24 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of adults and C be the number of children.

If a ticket costs $8 per adult, we can express this as 8A

If a ticket costs $5 per child, we can express this as 5C

Combining the two expressions, we can write 8A+5C=272 as our first equation since the total amount of money collected is $272.

Our second equation would be A+C=40 since there are 40 people.

Now, we can take the second equation and write it as C=40-A so we can substitute the value of C into the first equation as 40-A so we only have to deal with one variable, the amount of adults that went to the theater.

The first equation now becomes 8A+5(40-A)=272 and is much easier to solve:

8A+5(40-A)=272

8A+200-5A=272

3A+200=272

3A=72

A=24

Therefore, there are 24 adults

Basically, we need to find the diagonal of the square. Once we have the diagonal, we need to find if it's more or less than 11 cm, which is diameter of the circle.
This is the formula we'll use:
a²+b²=c²
Since it's a square, a and b are the same.
7²+7²=c²
49+49=c²
98=c²
√98=c
c=9.8995
So, the diagonal is 9.8995
9.8995<11

So, since the diagonal of the square is 9.8995 cm, it is less than the circumference of the circle meaning that it will fit in to the circle without touch the circle's circumference.

GREYUIT [131]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
324 + 6400 = c^2
6,724 = c^2
c = 82

Claudia says that she used the GCF to factor the expression 20x + 100xy as 20(x + 5xy). Is she correct? Explain.
Keith_Richards [23]

No, She is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of the expression 20x + 100xy.

Given expression 20x + 100xy.

Let us factor the expression 20x + 100xy.

Now take the common factor in the expression 20x + 100xy.

The common factor is 20x.

So, 20x + 100xy = 20x( 1+ 5y)

But Claudia says that the greatest common factor is 20(x+5xy).

The GCF is wrong.

So, she is not correct.
