On a hot summers day 262 people used the public swimming pool. the daily prices are 1.50 for children and 2.00 for adults. the receipts for admission totalled 470.00. how many children and how many adults swam st the pool that day?

Let x represent the number of adults who swam at the pool. Then (262-x) is the number of children. Multiplying these numbers by the corresponding admission charge will give the associated receipts. We are given the total of receipts, so we can write the equation ...

... 2.00x +1.50(262-x) = 470.00

... 0.50x +393.00 = 470.00 . . . . . simplify

... 0.50x = 77.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 393

... 77.00/0.50 = x = 154 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

... (262-x) = 108 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .find the number of children admitted

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
