31000 people attended a ballgames at a stadium that offers two kinds of seats; The day's receipts were $200000. How many people paid $14.00 for reserved seats, and how many paid$5.00 for general admission?

Answers

x= # of reserved seating
y= # of general admission

QUANTITY EQUATION:
x + y= 31,000

COST EQUATION:
14x + 5y= $200,000

STEP 1:
solve for either variable in quantity equation
x + y= 31,000
subtract both sides by y
x= 31000 -y


STEP 2:
substitute x=31000-y in cost equation
14x + 5y= $200,000

14(31000-y) +5y= 200000
434000 -14y + 5y= 200000

434000 - 9y= 200000
add 9y to both sides

434000= 200000 + 9y
subtract 200000 from both sides
234000= 9y

divide both sides by 9
26,000= y general admission


STEP 3:
substitute y answer in either equation
14x + 5y= $200,000
14x + 5(26000)= 200000
14x + 130000= 200000
14x= 70000
x= 5,000 reserved seats


CHECK:
14x + 5y= $200,000
14(5000) + 5(26000)= 200000
70000 + 130000= 200000
200000= 200000


ANSWER: There were 5,000 reserved seats and 26,000 general admission seats.

Hope this helps! :)
Final answer:

To solve this problem, we can use a system of equations to find the number of people who paid $14 for reserved seats and the number of people who paid $5 for general admission.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use a system of equations. Let's say the number of people who paid $14 for reserved seats is 'x', and the number of people who paid $5 for general admission is 'y'.

We know that the total number of people who attended the ballgame is 31,000, so we can write the equation:

x + y = 31,000

We also know that the total receipts from the day were $200,000, so we can write another equation:

14x + 5y = 200,000

Now we can solve this system of equations to find the values of 'x' and 'y'.

Multiplying the first equation by 5, we can eliminate 'y' by subtracting the second equation from it:

5x + 5y = 155,000

-(14x + 5y = 200,000)

Simplifying, we get:

-9x = -45,000

Dividing both sides of the equation by -9, we find that 'x' = 5,000.

Substituting this value back into the first equation, we can solve for 'y':

5,000 + y = 31,000

Simplifying, we get 'y' = 26,000.

Therefore, 5,000 people paid $14 for reserved seats and 26,000 people paid $5 for general admission.

Harry’s pizzeria is having a sale on medium and large pizzas. Medium pizzas are 10 inches in diameter and cost $7.99. Large pizzas are 14 inches in diameter and cost $14.99 Which size pizza is the better deal? Explain

Answers

Area = pi * r^2
.
A pizza with a 7-inch diameter has a radius of 3.5 inches.
Area = pi*3.5^2 = 38.48 sq. in.
.
A pizza with a 14-inch diameter has a radius of 7 inches.
Area = pi*7^2 = 153.93 sq. in.

.
The smaller pizza costs $5 = 500 cents, so it costs 500/38.48 = about 13 cents per sq. in.
.
It costs $12 = 1200 cents, so it costs 12/153.93 = about 8 cents per sq in.
.
The larger pizza is a better buy in terms of the cost per sq. in.
.
Done, hope that helped
The pizza that is the better deal is Large.

Medium Pizza : 
A^m = (3.14)*(5)^2
A^m= 78.5in^2
$7.99 / 78.5in^2 = $.10/1in^2

Large Pizza :
A^l = (3.14)*(7)^2
A^l = 153.86in^2
$14.99/153.86in^2 = $.09/1in^2


A ________ is a monomial or the sum or difference of two or more monomials. Base, polynomial, linear term,quadratic equation

Answers

The answer is:

 "A polynomial is a monomial or the sum or difference of two or more monomials".

 By definition, the terms of a Polynomial Function have the form ax^n, where "n" is a natural number. 

 To classify a polynomial, you must count the number of its terms. For example:

 5x²-2x  (This is a binomial, because it is formed by two terms).
 x³-3x+1 (This is a trinomial, because it has three terms):

 To identify the degree of a polynomial, you must see the term which has the highest exponent. For example, the degree of following polynomial is 2.

 4x²-x+3 

 The degree of this polynomial is 3:

 x³+2x²-x+10

Kade makes 5/6 cup salad dressing. He uses 2/3 cup dressing on a salad. How much salad dressing is left

Answers

To solve [tex] \frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{3} [/tex], we need to find a common denominator. If we multiply [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex] by [tex] \frac{2}{2} [/tex], we get [tex] \frac{4}{6} [/tex]. The reason we can do this is because two over two is really just equivalent to 1, and multiplying a number times one equals the original number. So if you're subtracting  [tex] \frac{4}{6} [/tex] from [tex] \frac{5}{6} [/tex], you have


[tex] \dfrac{5}{6} - \dfrac{4}{6} = \dfrac{5-4}{6} = \dfrac{1}{6} \ cups[/tex].


Kade has 1/6 cup of salad dressing left after using some on a salad. We found this by converting 2/3 cup to 4/6 cup and then subtracting it from the 5/6 cup he initially had.

To find out how much salad dressing Kade has left after using some on a salad, we need to subtract the amount used from the total amount he made. Kade made 5/6 cup of salad dressing and used 2/3 cup on a salad. To perform the subtraction, both fractions need a common denominator. The smallest common denominator for 6 and 3 is 6. The fraction 2/3 can be converted to 4/6 so that both fractions have the same denominator. Now we can subtract:

Convert 2/3 cup to 4/6 cup (Since 3*2 = 6, and 2*2 = 4).Subtract 4/6 cup from 5/6 cup: 5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6 cup.

Hence, Kade has 1/6 cup of salad dressing left after using it on the salad.

A machinist creates a washer by drilling a hole through the center of a circular piece of metal. If the piece of metal has a radius of x + 7 and the hole has a radius of x + 6, what is the area of the washer?

Answers

The area of the washer (which is a circle, but the inner part cut out) is given by:
[tex]A_c = \pi r^2[/tex]

Now, we need to find the radius of the entire metal circle which the hole was drilled on:
[tex]R_w = (x+7) - (x+6) = 1[/tex]

Plug it in to find the area of the metal plate:
[tex]A_p = \pi (1)^2 = \pi [/tex]

Now, you subtract the area of the hole from the area of the plate. The area of the hole will be:
[tex]A_h = \pi (x+6)^2[/tex]
[tex]A_h = \pi (x^2+12x+36) =  [/tex]

Subtract the area of the hole from the metal plate to get:
[tex]A_w = \pi - (\pi x^2+12 \pi x+36 \pi) = \pi x^2+12 \pi x -35 \pi[/tex]

That's your answer, although it looks wrong because not much information was provided.

For a function f(x), we define a vertical stretch of scale factor k as:

g(x) = k*f(x).

If k > 1, we have a stretch, if 0 < k < 1, we have a contraction.

In this case, we have:

f(x) = x^2g(x) = 2*x^2

So we have a vertical stretch of scale factor 2, this means that we are stretching our function vertically, so it will become narrower, meaning that the correct option is B.

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter of given triangle is ( 9.8x + 1.1y + 9.9z ) centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle has a side lengths of (5.5x + 6.2y) centimeters, (4.3x+8.3z) centimeters and (1.6z -5.1y) centimeters  

We have to find the expression  that represents the perimeter (in centimeters)

of the triangle.

Perimeter of a figure is defined as the sum of all the sides.

Since given figure is triangle so perimeter of triangle is the sum of all the sides.

Given side lengths are

(5.5x + 6.2y) , (4.3x + 8.3z) and (1.6z -5.1y)

Thus, perimeter = (5.5x + 6.2y)  + (4.3x + 8.3z) + (1.6z - 5.1y)

Perimeter = 5.5x + 6.2y + 4.3x + 8.3z + 1.6z - 5.1y

LIKE TERMS are term with same variables.

Rearrange, we get

Perimeter = 5.5x + 4.3x + 6.2y - 5.1y + 8.3z + 1.6z

Adding like terms, we get,

Perimeter = (5.5 + 4.3)x + (6.2 - 5.1)y + (8.3 + 1.6)z

Perimeter = (9.8)x + (1.1)y + (9.9)z

Thus, Perimeter of given triangle is 9.8x + 1.1y + 9.9z centimeters.

A business owner purchases supplies for a laundromat and a car wash.

Part A

The owner purchases 6 cases of laundry soap, 8 cases of fabric softener, and 3 cases of bleach for the laundromat. Each case of laundry soap costs $68.45, eash case of fabric softener costs $39.71, and each case of bleach costs $52.25.

Which is the best estimate of the total cast, in dollars, of the laundry items?

Answers

To estimate the cost, you would round the numbers before doing any calculations. For this question you would have 6×70+8×40+3×50. This is 420+320+150. The total estimated cost would then be $890.

The best estimate of the total cast, in dollars, of the laundry items is $885.

What is total?

A total is a whole or complete amount, and "to total" is to add numbers or to destroy something. In math, you total numbers by adding them: the result is the total.

Given that, the owner purchases 6 cases of laundry soap, 8 cases of fabric softener, and 3 cases of bleach for the laundromat.

Each case of laundry soap costs $68.45

So, the cost of 6 cases of laundry soap

= 6×68.45

= $410.7

Each case of fabric softener costs $39.71

So, the cost of 8 cases of fabric softener

= 8×39.71

= $317.68

Each case of bleach costs $52.25

So, the cost of 3 cases of bleach for the laundromat

= 3×52.25

= $156.75

Total =410.7+317.68+156.75

= $885.13

≈ $885

Therefore, the best estimate of the total cast, in dollars, of the laundry items is $885.
