The table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by Ocean Tours. : Age Ticket Price Under 3 years free 3 to 12 years $36 Over 12 years $48
On a certain day, the company took 92 people on whale watching trips. There were 40 children aged 12 and under, of which some children were under 3 years. If x represents the number of children under 3 years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where C represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day? (92 - x)36 + (92 - 40) ⋅ 48 = C (40 + x)36 + (92 - (40 + x)) ⋅ 48 = C (92 + x)36 + (92 - (40 + x)) ⋅ 48 = C (40 - x)36 + (92 - 40) ⋅ 48 = C
There were 92 people. 40 were children. How many were adults?
is the lat one and why
Can you answer my question? It's part of the explanation. You are correct, btw.
If there are 92 people total and 40 were children, how many were adults?
40
No. There are 40 children. There are 92 people altogether. There are 92 - 40 adults.
The number of adults is 92 - 40. Ok?
thanks are u busy i need help i lot
do you understand how @mathstudent55 arrived at the answer ?
Ok. The number of children is 40. The number of adults is 92 - 40. Now we are also told that of the 40 children, x number of those children are under 3. There are 40 children x are under 3. How many children are not under 3?
I think he just wanted the answer
@texaschic101 He wrote above he knows the answer is d and he wants an explanation. That's what we are working on now.
no i got the answer by my own
Ok. Can we continue? There are 40 children. x of them are under 3. How many of the children are not under 3?
70
If there are only 40 children, how can 70 children be over 3?
Let me ask you this. There are 10 boys and girls in a class. 4 are boys. How many are girls?
6
Right. How did you get 6? You did 10 - 4 Now do the same with 40 and x There are 40 children x are under 3 How many are not under 3?
There are 10 boys and girls in a class. 4 are boys. How many are girls? Answer: 10 - 4 = 6 There are 10 boys and girls in a class. x are boys. How many are girls? Answer: 10 - x There are 40 children. x are under 3. How many are over 3? Answer: 40 - x Read the above and concentrate on the third question.
Ok. I'll finish it. There are 92 people. 92 - 40 are adults who pay $48 per person 40 - x are children over 3 who pay $36 x are children who pay nothing The cost is: C = 36(40 - x) + 48(92 - 40)
Ok, gtg. Go through this. The problem is explained in detail.
