A theater is showing a ballet performance. Tickets are available for three levels in the performance hall. Lower level tickets c

ost $35, mezzanine tickets cost $25, and upper balcony tickets cost $15. For a certain performance the theater sold 5 times as many lower level tickets as balcony tickets. The theater sold $37,500 in tickets that performance. The money made from mezzanine tickets alone was 4 times the money made from balcony tickets.
Which system of linear equations could be used to solve for the number of each type of ticket sold?

Answer: 25y= 60x

190x +25y= 37500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of balcony tickets.

then, Number of lower level tickets  = 5x

Let y = Number of mezzanine tickets

Money made from ,

balcony tickets = 15x

lower level tickets = 35 (5x) = 175 x

mezzanine tickets = 25y

Money made from mezzanine tickets=  4 x( money made from balcony tickets.)

⇒ 25y = 4 (15x)

⇒ 25y= 60x              (i)

Also, total cost of the tickets = 15x+175x+25y = 37500

⇒ 190x +25y= 37500          (ii)

From (i) and (ii), the system of linear equations could be used to solve for the number of each type of ticket sold:

25y= 60x

190x +25y= 37500

Allies plant has a height of 6meters. Radon’s plant grows 3/10 meters higher. How high does radon’s plant grow
kow [346]

The height of Radon plant is 6.3 meters

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Allies plant has a height of 6 meters

Radon’s plant grows \frac{3}{10} meters higher

To find: Height of Radon plant

From given information,

Height of Allies plant = 6 meters

Height of radon plant = \frac{3}{10} + Height of Allies plant

Substituting the known value,

\text{ Height of radon plant} = \frac{3}{10} + 6\\\\\text{ Height of radon plant} = \frac{3+60}{10}\\\\\text{ Height of radon plant} = \frac{63}{10}\\\\\text{ Height of radon plant} = 6.3

Thus Radon plant grows to height of 6.3 meters

A sample with a sample proportion of 0.4 and which of the following sizes will produce the widest 95% confidence interval when e
Fed [463]

Answer:

C. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The higher the margin of error, the wider an interval is.

As the sample size increases, the margin of error decreases. If we want a widest possible interval, we should select the smallest possible confidence interval.

So the correct answer is:

C. 50

michael wittry has been investing inhis roth IRA retirement account for 20 years. Two years ago his account was worth $215,658.
Over [174]
Let's say

a = 215,658

ok... so.. he first lost 1/3 of that

\bf \textit{\underline{lost} }\frac{1}{3}a\qquad  \qquad  a-\cfrac{1}{3}a\implies a-\cfrac{a}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a-a}{3}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{then he \underline{gained} }\frac{1}{2}\textit{ of }\frac{2a}{3}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{2}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{\frac{2}{1}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{6}\implies \cfrac{4a+2a}{6}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{6a}{6}\implies \boxed{a}\implies 215,658


so, his nickname might just be even steven, because, he ended up with the same original amount after the 1/2 bump.

The center of a hyperbola is (−2,4) , and one vertex is (−2,7) . The slope of one of the asymptotes is 1/2 .
maxonik [38]

Answer:

<h2>The equation is \frac{(y - 4)^{2} }{9 } - \frac{(x + 2)^{2} }{36 } = 1.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a hyperbola is represented by \frac{(y - k)^{2} }{b^{2} } - \frac{(x - h)^{2} }{a^{2} } = 1, where (h, k) is the center of the hyperbola.

As per the given condition, h = -2 and k = 4.

Thus, the equation becomes \frac{(y - 4)^{2} }{b^{2} } - \frac{(x + 2)^{2} }{a^{2} } = 1.

One vertex is (-2, 7).

Hence, putting x = -2 and y = 7, we get b^{2} = 9.

The slope of the asymptote is \frac{b}{a}.

Hence, \frac{b^{2} }{a^{2} } = \frac{1}{4} \\a^{2} = 36.

Thus, the equation is \frac{(y - 4)^{2} }{9 } - \frac{(x + 2)^{2} }{36 } = 1.

What are the coordinates of vertex J of the pre-image?(14 POINTS. PLS HELP, GEOMETRY)
DaniilM [7]
If we look at where it is now, we would have multiplied the x and y values by 1/2. since we are working backwards, lets multiply by 2 instead...giving us the vertex for the pre-image....

J is now (0, -2)      multiply by 2
J was     (0, -4)
