Answer: $9.50

Step-by-step explanation:Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.

2/5of a number is 80. What is 34of the same number?

Masja [62]

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find what number 80 is 2/5 of, to do this do the reciprocal of 2/5 which would be 5/2. Multiply 80 by 5/2 and you'll get 200, then find what 3/4 of 200. Multiply 200 by 3, then divide by 4 to get the answer of 150.

I need to put these nine cards into three groups according to similarities I see... but I don't see any similarities! Please hel

Have you learned slope yet? Pick two points from the graph and do x-y on the top and x-y on the bottom. That would give you your slope then you can graph it. For example (-2,-1) (-1,1)
-2-(-1)
-1-1
Then that would give you -1/-2 so technically -1/2<< this is what you graph

A company provided the following data: Selling price per unit: 60 Variable cost per unit 20 Total fixed costs 400,000 HOw many u

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The company needs to sell 9000 units in order to turn a profit of $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

From the question we can get some important hints before creating our formula. First the Selling Price will be profit so it will be a positive number, but both unit cost and fixed costs are losses so they will be negative values in our formula. Also our formula will depend on the amount sold which we can represent as the variable x. With these hints we can create our formula as the following

$(60x-20x)-400,000 = y$

Where:

x is the amount of units created and sold
y is the total profit after selling x-units

Now that we have our formula the question asks how many units need to be sold in order to earn a profit of $40,000. We can calculate this by replacing the $40,000 with y and solving for x like so,

$(60x-20x)-400,000 = 40,000$ .... add 400,000 on both sides

$40x= 360,000$ ... divide both sides by 40

$x= 9000$

The company needs to sell 9000 units in order to turn a profit of $40,000

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
