You will need to establish two equations for this scenario. Let's begin with the ticket sales & relevant variables.

c = number of child tickets sold
a = number of adult tickets sold

c + a = 525

Next, let's create the equation for the revenues.

c = number of child tickets sold
a = number of adult tickets sold

19c + 40a = 13,545

Now align the two equations together.

c + a = 525
19c + 40a = 13,545

Next, I'll isolate one of the variables.

c + a = 525
-a -a

c = 525 - a

Plugging into the other equation gives

19(525) + 40a = 13,545
Let's solve for it.
9,975 + 40a = 13,545
-9,975
40a = 3,570 / 40
a = 89.25
Now round 89?

Then substitute a back into the second equation

c + 89 = 525
-89 -89
c = 436

So the conclusion is:
Sold 89 adult tickets.
Sold 436 child tickets.

Result: The number of child tickets is 355 and the adult tickets total 170 respectively


Detailed explanation:

Let the child ticket count be x

and the adult ticket count as y

We have x+y=525.........[1]

19x+40y=13545.........[2]

By multiplying  [1] by 19

19x+19y=9975........[3]

Subtracting [3] from [2]

19x+40y-19x -19y= 13545-9975

21y=3570

By dividing both sides by 21

y=170

Inserting the value of y into [1]

x+170=525

Subtracting 170 from both sides

x+170-170= 525-170

x=355

Number of child tickets = 355

Number of adult tickets = 170

Find x if a =13 and C = 47 need help
Inessa [12570]

You can utilize the Pythagorean theorem expressed as a^2 + b^2 = c^2... if b is unknown, you can rearrange the formula. Hence, c^2 - a^2 = b^2. Squaring 47 gives 2209 and squaring 13 yields 169... Subtracting gives you 2209-169, which results in 2040. Taking the square root of that yields approximately 45.166359, which can be rounded to 45 or as 45.167 when expressed to two decimal places. I hope this helps!:)

A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air. The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential energy store as a
Svet_ta [12734]

The toddler weighs 12.5 kg.

In-depth explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep=mgh where;

Ep=gravitational potential energy

m=mass of an object

g=gravitational field strength

h=height in meters

Given that; h= 1.5m, Ep=187.5J, g=10 N/kg then finding m;

Ep=mgh

187.5=m*10*1.5

187.5=15m

187.5/15 =15m/15

m=12.5 kg

Definitions and Data Due Sun 02/03/2019 11:59 pm A researcher is interested in attitudes towards releasing prisoners with Alzhei
tester [12383]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Aligning each vocabulary term with its relevant example:

(1). All Americans = f. Population (a collective of items or subjects studied, e.g., residents of an area, the number of vehicles in a city, or employees in a workplace)

(2). The percentage of all Americans who strongly believe prisoners with life sentences who develop Alzheimer's should be released = c. Parameter (the figure summarizing a characteristic of a population)

(3). The percentage of the 85 surveyed Americans who strongly feel that prisoners with life sentences who have Alzheimer's should be released = d. Statistic (the characteristic of a sample that corresponds to a population parameter used for statistical inference)

(4). The responses being 'Strongly Agree', 'Agree', 'Disagree', or 'Strongly Disagree' = b. Variable (any measurable quality or characteristic)

(5). The 85 individuals surveyed = e. Sample (a subset of a population chosen based on certain criteria)

(6). The array of responses provided by the 85 participants = a. Data (the collected pieces of information meant for analysis)
