A local museum charges $25 per adult and $12 per child for admission fees. At the end of a day, the museum made $9,014 in total

admission revenue, not including sales tax, and had a total of 450 guests. The system of equations below can be used to model the number of guests that were children, x, and the number of guests that were adults, y.

Answer:

There were 172 guests that were children and 278 guests that were adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: State what is known

It is $25 per adult

It is $12 per child

The made $9014 dollars

There were 450 guests

Step 2: Define equations

25y + 12x = 9014 -----1

x + y = 450 ------------2

Step 3: Rearrange equation 2 for x

x + y = 450

x = 450 - y --------------3

Step 4: Substitute 3 into 1 for y and solve for y

25y + 12(450 - y) = 9014

25y + 5400 - 12y = 9014

13y = 3614

y = 3614/13

y = 278

Step 5: Substitute y = 278 into 3 to solve for x

x = 450 - (278)

x = 172

Therefore 172 children and 278 adults visited the museum

Anna71 [15]
The answer is 13. To figure this out I used 10 notebooks sold as a guide. I knew the answer could not be 10, because $27.95/10 was not a number stopping in the hundredths place (or a true money amount).

I tried numbers greater than 10 using a trial and error strategy until I got to 13 notebooks sold and found that it $27.95 was divisible by 13 to get an answer between $2 and $3 ($2.15 exactly).

Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16% ammonia solution to make a 24% ammonia solution. Which equation c
Paha777 [63]
First lets write down our starting conditions:

we have 22 gallons and it has 16% of ammonia

16% of 22 gallons is
A = 16/100*22 = 3,52 gallons

Now since only watter is evaporating that means that in second scenario after some watter evaporated there is still 3,52 gallons of ammonia. But now those 3,52 gallons of ammonia represent 24% of total mixture. So now we go other way. 
24 % is 3,52 gallons
100% is x gallons

x = 100/24*3,52 = 14.667 gallons

That means that he has to evaporate 
22 - 14.6667 = 7,333 gallons of water.

Which of the following statements is true only if triangles EFI and GFH are similar?
igomit [66]

Answer: Choice B

FH/FI = HG/IE

================================================

Explanation:

We're told that triangles EFI and GFH are similar. The order of the lettering is important because it tells us how the angles pair up.

  • E and G pair up because they are the first letters of EFI and GFH
  • F and F pair up as they are the second letters
  • I and H pair up because they are the third letters

This means

  • E = G
  • F = F
  • I = H

Furthermore, it means

  • EF corresponds to FG
  • FI corresponds to FH
  • IE corresponds to GH

Focus on the last two items of the list above. We can then form the proportion

FI/FH = IE/GH

which is the same as

FH/FI = GH/IE

when we apply the reciprocal to both sides. Since HG is the same as GH, we can then say

FH/FI = HG/IE

So basically the corresponding sides create equal ratios to form this proportion. There are many other proportions that can be formed.

What number must we multiply by $-\frac23$ to get a product of $\frac34$?
stich3 [128]

Let x be unknown number. If number x is multiplied by -\dfrac{2}{3} and the product is equal to \dfrac{3}{4}, then

x\cdot \left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{3}{4}.

To find x you should divide \dfrac{3}{4} by -\dfrac{2}{3}:

x=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{-\dfrac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{3\cdot 3}{4\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{9}{8}.

Answer: x=-\dfrac{9}{8}
