Answer:

9 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve with a system of equations

Let adult tickets be a and student tickets be s

1. 8a + 13s = 176

2. 4a + 4s = 68

3. s = 17 - a

Equation 2 is friendlier, so let's divide all the numbers by 4.

a + s = 17

Equation is s = 17 - a

Substitute s in equation 1

8a + 13(17-a) = 176

8a + 221 - 13a = 176

221 - 5a = 176

5a = 45

a = 9

The price of an adult ticket is 9 dollars

Hope this helps :)

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to x - y = -5 and passes through (4, 7).

Ivanshal [37]

X - y = -5
-y = -x - 5
y = x + 5...slope here is 1. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip ur slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(4,7)...x = 4 and y = 7
now we sub and find b, the y int
7 = -1(4) + b
7 = -4 + b
7 + 4 = b
11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -x + 11 <==

B is the one I would go with, multiplying everything by 3 in the equation 3 would eliminate y.

AlMarai, a beverage company is planning to change its juice package size. Currently, there are 9 ounces of juice in each package

Andre45 [30]

The percentage of more juices that will be in the new package is 35.71%

<h3>What are word problems?</h3>

Word problems in mathematics are things happening in our daily life and we can use mathematical concepts and arithmetic operations to put a solution to those things.

From the given information, it was stated that:

Almarai usually have 9 ounces of juice in each package, while
Their new package will contain 14 ounces.

Our objective is to find the percentage of more juice that will be in the new package.

The percentage of more juice in the new package will be:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{14 - 9}{14} \times 100 \%}$

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{5}{14} \times 100 \%}$

= 35.71%
