The small zoo at Nichols Park charges $8 for adult admission, $5 for child admission (18 years old and under), and $3 for senior admission (60 years old and over). For one day, the zoo collected $539 and admitted 96 visitors. If the adult admission is 9 more than the senior admission, how many persons of each category were admitted on this particular day?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

32 seniors, 41 adults, and 23 children were admitted.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make things a bit simpler, we can represent all three kinds of tickets in terms of one variable, [tex]x[/tex]. Let the number of senior visitors be [tex]x[/tex]. Then, since 9 more adults were admitted as compared to the seniors, we can let the number of adult visitors be [tex]x+9[/tex]. Therefore, since there were 96 visitors in total, we know that the number of child visitors is 96 subtracted by the total number of adult and senior visitors. The total number of adult and senior visitors is [tex]x+x+9=2x+9[/tex]. Thus, the number of child visitors is [tex]96-(2x+9)=96-2x-9=-2x+87[/tex].

Now, all we have to do is write an equation to solve for [tex]x[/tex]. Since senior admission costs $3, we can represent the money earned from it as [tex]3*x=3x[/tex]. Since adult admission costs $8, we can represent the money earned from it as [tex]8*(x+9)=8x+72[/tex]. Finally, since child admission costs $5, we can represent the money earned from it as [tex]5*(-2x+87)=-10x+435[/tex]. Since we know that the zoo collected $539 in total, we can write the following equation to solve for x:

[tex]3x + 8x+72-10x+435=539[/tex]

[tex]x+507=539[/tex] (Simplify LHS)

[tex]x=32[/tex] (Subtract 507 from both sides)

Therefore, 32 seniors were admitted. Since [tex]x=32, x+9=32+9=41[/tex], so 41 adults were admitted, and finally, since [tex]x=32,-2x+87=-2*32+87=-64+87=23[/tex], so 23 children were admitted. Hope this helps!

65% of 40 is what number?
ahh this was supposed to be done yesterdayyy..​

Answers

Answer:

65% of 40 is 26

26 is answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 40.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$40=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=65\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$40=100\%(1)$.

$x=65\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{40}{x}=\frac{100\%}{65\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{40}=\frac{65}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=26$

Therefore, $65\%$ of $40$ is $26$

Answers

Answer:

25 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. find y which is what you are trying to find which is how long it will take for drake to make $1200

step 2.- subtract 450 from each side

1200=30x+450

-450           -450

750=30x

step 3.- divide by 30 on both sides

750=30x

Answer:

8x² + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x² + 3)² - (x² - 1)² ← expand both factors using FOIL

= [tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 6x² + 9 - ([tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 2x² + 1) ← distribute by - 1

= [tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 6x² + 9 - [tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 2x² - 1 ← collect like terms

= 8x² + 8

Answer:

-8(x^2 - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 + 3)^2  and  (x^2 - 1)^2 are both squares of binomials.  The first step here is to expand both:

-(x^2 + 3)^2  =  -x^4 - 6x^2 - 9

(x^2 - 1)^2     =  x^4 - 2x^2 + 1

Combine the two right-hand expressions, obtaining:

-8x^2 - 8 or -8(x^2 - 1)

This -8(x^2 - 1) is the simplest form of the given expression.

If desired, -8(x^2 - 1)  can be factored:   -8(x - 1)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

12x - 3 = 17 + 7x

Collect like terms

Divide both sides by 5

5x / 5 = 20 / 5

x = 4

A 38-ounce bottle of juice drink contains 6 percent water. Than computed 6 percent of 38. His work is shown below.

Than did not move the decimal point three places to the left in the answer.
Than did not use 6 for 6 percent.

Answers

Answer: Than did not use 0.06 for 6 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Than computed 6 percent of 38 as 6 percent of 38 = 0.6 times 38 = 22.8.

His above solution is wrong. We should note that:

6% × 38

= 6/100 × 38.

= 0.06 × 38

= 2.28

The mistake that he made was that Than did not use 0.06 for 6 percent.

This is;

1848

Now, let’s calculate the number of seconds in 3 hours

In 1 hour, we have 3600 seconds

In 3 hours, this will be;

3600 * 3 = 10,800 seconds

So, to find the number of times in which all 4 will toll together, we need to know the number of 1848 seconds in 10,800 seconds

Mathematically, that will be;

10,800/1848 = 5.844

Our answer will be 5 times however

This is because the sixth time they would have sounded together would be more than the 3 hours time frame

Write a polynomial for the given real-world situation. If the length of a rectangle is 3x^2-4x+5 and the width is 2x + 1, write and simplify a polynomial expression for the area of the rectangle. 3 points for mathematical process and 2 points for correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 6x^3+-5x^{2} +6x+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of a rectangle = [tex]3x^2-4x+5[/tex]

Width of rectangle = [tex]2x + 1[/tex]

To find:

Simple polynomial expression for finding the area of rectangle.

Solution:

First of all, we should know about the formula for finding the area of rectangle. Then we should know how to multiply two polynomials.

Formula for area of a rectangle in terms of its length and width is:

[tex]Area= Length \times Width[/tex]

Putting the given values:

[tex]Area = (3x^2-4x+5)(2x+1)[/tex]

Here, we can use the distributive property of multiplication for finding the value of the above multiplication expression.

[tex](A+B)\times (C+D) = A\times C + A\times D+ B\times C + B \times D[/tex]

Therefore, the multiplication of above polynomials can be written as:

[tex]Area = (3x^2-4x+5)(2x+1)\\\Rightarrow Area = 3x^2(2x+1)-4x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)\\\Rightarrow Area = 6x^3+3x^{2} -8x^{2} -4x+10x+5\\\Rightarrow Area = 6x^3+-5x^{2} +6x+5[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

[tex]Area = 6x^3+-5x^{2} +6x+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the third side of a triangle is always between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

Here, the difference is 5.3 -1.9 = 3.4; the sum is 5.3 +1.9 = 7.2. So the length of the third side must satisfy ...

  3.4 < x < 7.2

_____

Additional comment

The difference in side lengths is what you get when the shorter side is folded over the longer one. The excess of the longer over the shorter is the difference. If the triangle is to have non-zero area, the third side must be longer than that.

The sum of side lengths is what you bet when the two given sides are laid end-to-end. If the triangle is to have non-zero area, the third side must be shorter than that.

These statements are variations on the "triangle inequality", which states that the sum of any two sides must exceed the third. (That will always be the case if the sum of the shortest two sides exceeds the longest.)

Write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128, ...
Then find a6. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

Equation: x(n)=2*4^(n-1)

a6=2048

Step-by-step explanation:

Take note that the common ratio is 4 because 2*4=8, 8*4=32, 32*4=128, and so on...

We will use the equation x(n) = ar^(n-1) where n represents the nth term, r stands for the common ratio, and "a" stands for the first term. We use (n-1) because ar^0 is for the 1st term

Given the first term is a=2, the common ratio is r=4, then we have the equation x(n)=2*4^(n-1)

So, 128*4=512 would be the 5th term, and the 6th term would be 512*4=2048

So a6=2048

We want to find an equation and the sixth term of the given geometric sequence.

The equation is:

[tex]A_n = 4*A_{n-1}[/tex]

And the sixth term is equal to 512

Geometric sequences.

In a geometric sequence, each term is a constant times the previous term, so the general relation is:

[tex]A_n = k*A_{n-1}[/tex]

Here we can use any pair of consecutive terms to find the value of the constant, for example, if we use the first two, we have:

8 = k*2

8/2 = 4 = k

Now we know the value of the constant, then the general formula is:

[tex]A_n = 4*A_{n-1}[/tex]

Now we can use this to get the sixth term:

[tex]A_6 = 4*A_5 = 4*128 = 512[/tex]
