Answer:
There were 3 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Derive the first expression
a+c=10...equation 1
where;
a=number of adults
c=number of children
And total number of people=10
Step 2: Derive the second expression;
Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)
where;
Total cost of tickets=$186.50
price per child ticket=$15.95
price per adult ticket=$24.95
number of children=c
number of adults=a
replacing;
(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2
Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5
-
24.95(a+c=10)
(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)
-9 c=-63
c=-63/-9
c=7
replace the value for c in equation 1
a+c=10
a+7=10
a=10-7
a=3
There were 3 adults
1.98
1.98*100
198
Multiplying by 1.98 is the same as increasing by 198%.
Answer: D
you have to distribute
3 times 5/4n = 3.75n
3 times 1.8 = 5.4
you can’t add both products because they don’t have like terms
3.75n + 5.4
It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
Let us say that S is the total food sales therefore we can
create the following equation:
0.20 S = 625 + 0.10 S
Solving for S:
0.10 S = 625
S = 6250
<span>Therefore the food sales should amount to $6,250</span>
