Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for

opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50 a plus 3.75 b equals 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold?

Answer:

The number of adults tickets sold   = 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 1 adult ticket  = $10.50

The cost of 1 student ticket =  $3.75

The total sales from the ticket = $2071.50

Now, here let us assume

The number of adult tickets sold  = a

The number of student tickets sold  = b

So, the equation is given as :

10.50 a + 3.75 b = 2071.50

Now, its given the number of students  = 82

⇒ <u>b  =  82</u>

Putting the value of b in the above equation,w e get:

10.50 a + 3.75 ( 82) =  2071. 50

or, 10.50 a  = 2071.50 - 307.5 =  1764

or, a = 1764/10.5 =  168

Hence, the number of adults tickets sold  = a = 168.

Yep... so they says that the area of the extended leaf is 18+6x... You know that the area is length into breath... here the breath doesn't change.. so it'll be 3ft... can get the length by dividing area by 3... that is 6+2x... Now the new length wil be 2times that plus the previous 6ft length

a lunch stand makes a $.75 profit on each chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each caesar salad. On a typical weekday, it sells bet
tangare [24]

Answer:

<em>50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of Chef's salad is x and the number of Caesar salad is y

On a typical weekday, it sells between 40 and 60 Chefs salads and between 35 and 50 Caesar salads.

So, the two constraints are:  40\leq x\leq 60 and  35\leq y\leq 50

The total number sold has never exceed 100 salads. So, another constraint will be:   x+y\leq 100

According to the graph of the constraints, the vertices of the common shaded region are:  (40,35), (60,35), (60,40), (50,50) and (40,50)   <em>(Refer to the attached image for the graph)</em>

The lunch stand makes a $.75 profit on each Chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each Caesar salad. So, the profit function will be:  P=0.75x+1.20y

For  (40, 35) ,   P=0.75(40)+1.20(35)=72

For  (60, 35) ,   P=0.75(60)+1.20(35)=87

For  (60, 40) ,   P=0.75(60)+1.20(40)=93

For  (50, 50) ,   P=0.75(50)+1.20(50)=97.5 <u><em>(Maximum)</em></u>

For  (40, 50) ,   P=0.75(40)+1.20(50)=90

Profit will be maximum when x=50 and y=50

Thus, 50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.

The local pizza shop sells several special items.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Tax for Italian Salad=$0.20

Tax for Lasagna= $0.43

Tax for  Spaghetti =$0.21

Tax for Fettuccini Alfredo   =$0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiple the price of each item by the tax percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

Italian Salad =$3.99  

  • Tax for Italian Salad= 3.99 x (5/100) = 3.99 x 0.05 =$0.20

Lasagna =$8.50  

  • Tax for Lasagna= 8.50 x (5/100) = 8.50 x 0.05 =$0.43

Spaghetti =$4.29  

  • Tax for Spaghetti = 4.29x (5/100) = 4.29 x 0.05 =$0.21

Fettuccini Alfredo =$7.17

  • Tax for Fettuccini Alfredo = 7.17 x (5/100) = 7.17 x 0.05 =$0.36

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Alice is riding a Ferris wheel, where t is time in seconds. Suppose the Ferris wheel is 22 m tall. Let h(t) = 11cos(12t) represe
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Alice reaches 11 metres below the centre as lowest height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is a bounded function between -1 and 1, so that the lowest height that Alice achieves in Ferris wheel is:

h(t) = 11\cdot \cos (12\cdot t)

Where:

t - Time, measured in seconds.

h(t) - Height with respect to centre, measured in metres.

If \cos (12\cdot t) = -1, then:

h_{min} = 11\cdot (-1)

h_{min} = -11\,m

Alice reaches 11 metres below the centre as lowest height.
