A museum charges $12.50 for a one-day youth admission and $17.50 for a one-day adult admission. One Friday, the museum collected $1485 from a total of 106 youths and adults. How many admissions of each type were sold?
UZE

number of youth admissions sold (x) = 74

number of adult admissions sold (y) = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of youth admissions

Let y = number of adult admissions

Given:

⇒ x + y = 106

Given:

⇒ 12.5x + 17.5y = 1485

Rewrite  x + y = 106 to make y the subject:

⇒ y = 106 - x

Substitute  y = 106 - x  into 12.5x + 17.5y = 1485 and solve for x:

⇒ 12.5x + 17.5(106 - x) = 1485

⇒ 12.5x + 1855 - 17.5x = 1485

⇒ 5x = 370

⇒ x = 74

Substitute found value of x into y = 106 - x to find y:

⇒ y = 106 - 74

⇒ y = 32

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
