Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent adult tickets

Let c represent child tickets

On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 4

Multiply equation ii by 5

24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii

40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv

Subtract iii from iv

16a = 200

a = 200/16

a = 12.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

From equation ii,

8a + 4c = 130

8(12.50) + 4c = 130

100 + 4c = 130

4c = 130 - 100

4c = 30

c = 30/4

c = 7.50

Children tickets cost 7.50

An insurance company uses the formula T=3.5n + 5 to work out the cost, T pounds, for insuring a customer for n days. Work out th

artcher [175]

Answer:

Cost of travel insurance for 4 days = 19 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The insurance company uses the formula T = 3.5n + 5 to work out the cost , T pounds for insuring the customer for n number of days . Where n is the number of days.

The algebraic equation given has two variables which are cost T of insuring and n which is the number of days for insuring. Mathematically,

T = cost of insuring in pounds

n = number of days

Therefore, finding the cost T for 4 days

T = 3.5n + 5

T = 3.5 × 4 + 5

T = 14 + 5

T = 19 pounds

Cost of travel insurance for 4 days = 19 pounds

Accrotime is a manufacturer of quartz crystal watches. Accrotime researchers have shown that the watches have an average life of

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a

$P(X < 24 )= 21.186\%$

b

$x = 19.78 \ months$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $\mu = 26 \ months$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 4 \ months$

Generally 2 year is equal to 24 months

Generally the percentage of total production will the company expect to replace is mathematically represented as

$P(X < 24 )= P(\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma} < \frac{24 - 26}{4} )$

Generally $\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } =Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )$

$P(X < 24 )= P(Z < -0.8 )$

Generally from the z-table

$P(Z < -0.8) = 0.21186$

So

$P(X < 24 )= 0.21186$

Converting to percentage

$P(X < 24 )= 0.21186 * 100$

=> $P(X < 24 )= 21.186\%$

Generally the duration that should be the guarantee period if Accrotime does not want to make refunds on more than 6% is mathematically evaluated as

$P(X < x) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma} < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06$

=> $P(X < x) = P(Z < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06$

From the normal distribution table the z-score for 0.06 at the lower tail is

$z = -1.555$

So

$\frac{x - 26}{4} = -1.555$

=> $x = 19.78 \ months$

The graph of f(x) = x2 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 5)2 + 1. On a coordinate plane, a parabola, labeled f of x, opens up. I

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The option which is:

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (2, 10), has a vertex at (5, 1), and goes through (8, 10).

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we should know the rules of translation

1) {f(x) + a} is f(x) shifted up (a) units

2) {f(x) – a} is f(x) shifted down (a) units

3) {f(x + a)} is f(x) shifted left (a) units.

4) {f(x – a)} is f(x) shifted right (a) units.

Given:

f(x) = x²

g(x) = (x-5)² + 1

By comparing [ the translation from f(x) to g(x) ] with the rules of translation

We can deduce that g(x) is the image of f(x) by translation 5 units right and 1 unit up ( rules 1 and 4)

See the attached figure which represent the graph of f(x) and g(x)

As shown g(x) goes through (2, 10), has a vertex at (5, 1), and goes through (8, 10)

If point C is inside AvB, then __+m CvB= m AvB

adelina 88 [10]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the "Angle Addition Postulate" in order to solve this exercise.

You have this larger angle:

$\angle AVB$

According to the "Angle Addition Postulate", if the point "C" is in the interior of $\angle AVB$ , then the measure of this angle can be obtained by adding the angle $\angle AVC$ and the angle $\angle CVB$ .

You can observe in the figure that:

$m\angle AVC=39\°\\\\\mangle CVB=23\°$

Then you get that:

$m\angle AVC+m\angle CVB=m\angle AVB\\\\39\°+23\°=62\°$

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.

If it takes 10 seconds for 10 printers to print out 10 pages of paper, how many seconds will it take 50 printers to print out 50

Fed [463]

Lets use the formula $RWT=J$ to solve this, where,

R is the rate
W is the number of workers/things
T is time
J is number of jobs/things

<em><u>"If it takes 10 seconds for 10 printers to print out 10 pages of paper"</u></em> - here -

W is 10 printers, T is 10 seconds, and J is 10 pages. We can write:

$R(10)(10)=10\\R(100)=10\\R=\frac{10}{100}\\R=0.1$

<u><em>"how many seconds will it take 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper"</em></u><em> - here we use $R=0.1$ (previously found) to figure out T.</em>

<em> $RWT=J\\(0.1)(50)T=50\\5T=50\\T=\frac{50}{5}\\T=10$ </em>

So it will take 10 seconds for 50 printers to print 50 pages.

ANSWER: 10 seconds
