In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

   a + c = 960 
       - c    -    c
 ---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
   a = 960 - c 



20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
   19,200 - 8c = 19,080
 - 19,200         - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
         8c = -120                    into the opposite equation.                                                
       ------  ---------
          8         8
 
         c = -15



30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
   30a - 180 = 19,080
          + 180  +     180
 -------------------------------
   30a = 19,260
  -------   -----------
    30          30
     
       a = 642

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.

$30x+$12y=$19080
x+y=960
y=960-x
30*x+12*960-x=$19080
30x-12x=-7560
-18x=-7560
x=-7560/-18
x=420
therefore there are 420 children
960-420=540
and there are 540 adults

silvia compro la misma licuadora que daniela, que costaba $355.5, pero como abonó con tarjeta de credito, le recargaron un 16%,
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Costo final= $412.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Dada la siguiente información:

Costo inicial= $355.5

Recargo de la tarjeta= 16% = 0.16

<u>Para calcular el costo final que debe pagar Silvia, debemos usar la siguiente información:</u>

Costo final= costo inicial*(1 + recargo)

Costo final= 355.5*1.16

Costo final= $412.38

A hexagonal pyramid is cut by a plane as shown in the diagram. What is the shape of the resulting cross section? see diagram
Alenkasestr [34]

From the diagram you can see that plane cuts each lateral face of hexagonal pyramid and do not cut the base. A hexagonal pyramid has six lateral faces. The intersection of each of these lateral faces with given cutting plane is segment. The figure which consists of these segments is hexagon. This hexagon is not the same as base and even is not similar to the base because the cutting plane is not parallel to the base.

Answer: resulting cross section is a hexagon, correct choice is option 4.

John Johnson is forty-seven. He is purchasing twenty-year endowment insurance, with a face value of $20,000. What is his annual
Alenkinab [10]
The answer is Letter D - 939.80.

You can refer to the attachment for the rate. Since he is forty-seven years old, use that age to find his rate under a twenty-year endowment insurance. In this case, the rate is 46.99. Multiply that rate to 20 since he purchased a 20-year endowment insurance with a face value of $20,000. (20,000/1,000 = 20)

   46.99 x 20 = 939.80

the graph of f(x) shown below has the same shape as the graph of g(x)=x^2 but is shifted down 5 units and to the left 4 units (t
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A function g(x) = x² has been given as the parent function.

This function then shifted 5 units down.

Translated  function formed will be f(x) = x² - 5

Further this graph has been shifted 4 units to the left then the function will become

f(x) = [x - (-4)]² - 5

f(x) = (x + 4)² - 5

Therefore, option C is the answer.
