For a Valentine's Day dance, tickets for couples cost $12 and tickets for individuals cost $8. Suppose 250 students attended the

dance, and $1580 was collected from ticket sales. How many of each type of ticket was sold?
PLEASE DO THIS IN ELIMINATION OR GRAPHING METHOD (NOT substitution method, as I already did it like this)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine if all the tickets were for individuals

The cost would be 250 x $8 = $2000
That is $420 higher than the actual cost.

The difference between a ticket for couples and a ticket for individuals is $4

Then, we can conclude that there are 420 : 4 = 105 couple tickets that were sold.

And, 40 individual tickets that were sold

The reason why we have 420:4 is because at the start, we assume every ticket was individuals. On the process, we replace one individual ticket by a couple ticket, keep replacing until the gap is exactly 420.

Hope this helps :)

Answer: 105 couple tickets and 40 individual tickets

For this I will use the "Graphing Method"

     First, we need to set up two equations.

-> Let x be the number of couple tickets.

-> Let y be the number of individual tickets.

-> It is "2x" because a couple means two.

     $12x + $8y = $1,580

     2x + y = 250

     Next, we will graph this.

-> The point at which the two lines intersect is our solution.

-> See attached.

-> x = 105, so 105 couple tickets

-> y = 40, so 40 individual tickets

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The minor angle of AB forms a straight line with angle x. When summed up it equals 180°.

minor angle of AB + x° = 180°

110° + x° = 180°

x° = 180° - 110°

= 70°

Enjoy!!!

Answer:

The sum of the first 100 terms is 60400

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic sequence

- There is a constant difference between each two consecutive

  numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic sequence:

- U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

- Un = a + (n – 1)d, where a is the first term , d is the difference

 between each two consecutive terms n is the position of the

 number

- The sum of first n terms of an Arithmetic sequence is calculate from

 Sn = n/2[a + l], where a is the first term and l is the last term

* Now lets solve the problem

- We will use method (1)

- From the table the terms of the sequence are:

 10 , 22 , 34 , 46 , 58 , 82 , 94 , ............., where 10 is the first term

∵ an = a1 + (n - 1) d ⇒ explicit formula

∵ a1 = 10 and a2 = 22

∵ d = a2 - a1

∴ d = 22 - 10 = 12

- The 100th term means the term of n = 100

∴ a100 = 10 + (100 - 1) 12

∴ a100 = 10 + 99 × 12 = 10 + 1188 = 1198

∴ The 100th term is 1198

- Lets find the sum of the first 100 terms of the sequence

∵ Sn = n/2[a1 + an]

∵ n = 100 , a = 10 , a100 = 1198

∴ S100 = 100/2[10 + 1198] = 50[1208] = 60400

* The sum of the first 100 terms is 60400

What interest rate is needed
KatRina [158]

Answer:

How to calculate interest rate

Step 1: To calculate your interest rate, you need to know the interest formula I/Pt = r to get your rate. ...

I = Interest amount paid in a specific time period (month, year etc.)

P = Principle amount (the money before interest)

t = Time period involved.

r = Interest rate in decimal.
