The zoo sold 250 admission tickets on Tuesday. Some of the tickets were child tickets and the rest were adult tickets. A child's

ticket cost $12.75 and an adult ticket cost $18.50. If the zoo sold $4739.50 worth of tickets, which system of equations could be used to determine how many adult tickets, a, and how many child tickets, c, were sold?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of child tickets that were sold.

Let a represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

The zoo sold 250 admission tickets on Tuesday. Some of the tickets were child tickets and the rest were adult tickets. This means that

c + a = 250 - - - - - - - - - - 1

A child's ticket cost $12.75 and an adult ticket cost $18.50. If the zoo sold $4739.50 worth of tickets, it means that

12.75c + 18.5a = 4739.50 - - - - - - - 2

Equation 1 and equation 2 are the system of equations that could be used to determine how many adult tickets, a, and how many child tickets, c, were sold

A bullet is shot straight upward with an initial speed of 925 ft/s. The height of the bullet after t seconds is modeled by the f
never [62]

Answer:

462 ft/s  

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the bullet is modeled by:

h(t) = -16t² + 925t------------------------------------ (1)

The speed of the bullet is modeled by the first derivative of equation (1)

dh/dt= -32t + 925------------------------------------ (2)

At maximum height,  dh/dt = 0

0 = -32t  + 925

32t = 925

  t  =   925/32

     =   28.91 seconds

This means that the total time to reach maximum height is 28.91 seconds

Substituting into equation (1) we can calculate the maximum  height:

h = -16 (28.91)² +925 (28.91)

  =   -13,372.61 + 26,742.675

  =  13,367.065 ‬ft

Average speed =  Total distance/ Total time

                         =    13,367.065/28.91

                         =  462.368

                         ≈ 462 ft/s

Which equation represents the line that passes through points (0, 6) and (2, 0)? A.)y = negative one-third x + 2 B.)y = negative
Rudiy27

Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (0,6) and (x2,y2) = (2,0)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0 - 6)/(2 - 0)

m = -6/2

m = -3

The slope is -3

Since we're given the point (0,6) to be on the line, we know the y intercept is b = 6.

Plug m = -3 and b = 6 into y = mx+b to get y = -3x+6

Answer: Choice D)  y = -3x+6

the utilities bill for the millers' home in April was $132 fourty two percent of the bills was for gas and the rest was electric
s2008m [1.1K]

The bill was $132

42% was for gas.

Multiply the total bill by 42% ( 0.42) to find the amount spent on gas:

132 x 0.42 = $55.44 was spent on gas.

Now subtract that amount from the total to find how much was spent on electricity:

132 - 55.44 = $76.56 was spent on electricity.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

D. 6 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the like fractions.

3 2/3 + 2/3 = 3 4/3 (Don't worry about simplifying yet)

Now find the least common multiple for 3 4/3 and 1 3/4 so we can add them.

<h2>REMEMBER: You can only add and subtract fractions when they have the same denominator.</h2>

3: 3, 6,  9, 12

4: 4, 8, 12

In this case 12 is the least common multiple.

3/4 x 3/3 = 9/12    9/12

4/3 x 4/4 = 16/12

Add those two fractions then add the whole numbers and put it in front.

4 25/12

Simplify

6 1/12
