The cost of a ticket to the circus is $19.00 forchildren and $42.00 for adults. On a certain day,
attendance at the circus was 1,700 and the total
gate revenue was $55,300. How many children and
how many adults bought tickets?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The number of tickets bought is 1000 adults tickets and 700 children were present

Explanation:

Let the number of children and adults present in the circus be x and y respectively

According to question,

Then, x + y = 1700 ……………..equation (1)

And, cost of ticket to circus for children and adult be 19, 42 respectively

Totalcost of ticket;

for adults = 42y; for children = 19x

19x + 42y = 55300 …………………equation (2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 19

19x + 19y = 32300 ……………… eqn (3)

Subtracting equation 1 and 3, we get

23y = 23000

y = 1000

putting this value in eq (1), we get x = 700

Therefore, 1000 adults and 700 children were present.

Please help...If g(x) = x2 + 2, find g(3).

A: 9

B: 8

C: 11

D: 6

Answers

As the $g(x)=x^(2)+2$

To find the value of g(3) we have to put the value of $x$ equal to 3 everywhere in g( $x$ )

Therefore $g(3)=(3)^2+2$

on solving the equation

$g(3) = 9+2$

$g(3) = 11$

Hence g(3) =11 is the answer

List the partial products of 35x7

Answers

To find the partial products you multiply 7 times each digit of 35, taking into account the place value of each digit. The 5 is in the unis so its value is 5. The 3 is in the tens place, so its value is 3 * 10 = 30. Then the partial products are: 7 * 5 = 35 and 7 * 30 = 210, so the total product is the sum of the partial products: 35 + 210 = 245.

Final answer:

The partial products of 35×7 are 35 and 210. They are obtained by multiplying 7 by 5 and 7 by 30 respectively. The sum of these partial products gives the final product of 245.

Explanation:

In Mathematics, the process of multiplication can be broken down into steps called partial products. When you are multiplying 35 by 7, you could break this down into two steps based on the digits of the number 35 which are 30 and 5. First, multiply 7 by 5 (the one place of 35) to get 35. Secondly, multiply 7 by 30 (the tens place of 35) to get 210. These are your partial products, 35 and 210. When added together, they give the product of the original multiplication problem, 245.
