The box office took in a total of $2905 in paid admissions for the high-school musical. Adult tickets cost $8 each, and student

tickets cost $3 each. If 560 people attended the show, how many were students? Let s = the number of students attending, and let a = the number of adults attending. Which two equations can be used to solve this problem? Select the two that apply.

There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)

A freight carrier charges $0.57 for a package weighing up to one ounce plus and additional $0.32 for each additional ounce or fr
kherson [118]

We have to write an equation that uses this info so we can find the cost to ship that package. However, the package weight is given to us in grams and we need it in ounces. So first thing we are going to do is convert that 224 g to ounces. Use the fact that 1 g = .035274 ounces to convert. 224g*\frac{.035274oz}{1g}. Do the multiplication and cancel out the label of grams and we have 7.901376 ounces. Ok. We know that it costs .57 to mail the package for the first ounce. We have almost 8 ounces. So no matter what, we are paying .57. For each additional ounce we are paying .32. The number of .32's we have to spend depends upon how much the package goes over the first ounce. For the first ounce we pay .57, then for the remaining 6.901376 ounces we pay .32 per ounce. Our equation looks like this: C(x) = .32(6.901376) + .57 and we need to solve for the cost, C(x). Doing the multiplication we find that it would cost $2.78 to ship that package.

ALGEBRA Jake Duffy drove 12,568 miles
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge $0.278 per miles , i.e option B  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance drove by Jack Duffy = d = 12,568 miles

The fixed costs totaled = $1,485.00

The variable cost totaled = $2,015.75

Let The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge = $x cost per miles

Now, According to question

The totaled cost = The fixed costs + The variable cost

Or, The totaled cost = $1,485.00 + $2,015.75

I.e  The totaled cost = $3500.75

Now,

The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge = \dfrac{\extrm Total cost}{\textrm Total Distance}

I.e x = \dfrac{3500.75}{12568}

∴ x = $0.278 per miles

So,The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge = x = $0.278 per miles .

Hence,The cost per mile that Jack Duffy charge $0.278 per miles , i.e option B  Answer

Clarissa's income puts her in the bottom tax bracket (10%) last year. During the same year, she earned $250 in dividends and $75
Art [367]

Answer:

75 in coupons.

250 in dividends.

profit of 600 - 425 = 175 from her stock investment.  

her total income is 250 + 75 + 175 = 500.  

if all of this is taxed at 10%, then her tax will be 500 * .1 = 50.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

y = 700x - 400

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative number represents an altitude below sea level.

Beginning: -400

y = mx + b

y = mx - 400

In 2 hours the altitude was now 1000 m.

1000 m - (400 m) = 1400 m

The altitude went up 1400 m in 2 hours. The rate of change is

1400/2 m/h = 700 m/h

The rate of change is the slope.

y = 700x - 400
