You sell tickets at school for fundraisers. you sold car wash tickets, silly string fight tickets and dance tickets – for a total of 380 tickets sold. the car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly sting fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each. if you sold twice as many silly string tickets as car wash tickets, and you have $1460 total, how many dance tickets were sold?

11 dance tickets were sold. ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of car wash tickets, y represents the number of silly string fight tickets and z represents number of dance tickets,

Total tickets = 380,

⇒ x + y + z = 380 (1),

The car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly string fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each, also total cost is $1460,

⇒ 5x + 3y + 10z = 1460 (2)

Also, there are twice as many silly string tickets as car wash tickets,

⇒ y = 2x (3)

From equation (1) and (2),

x + 2x + z = 380 ⇒ 3x + z = 380 (4)

5x + 3(2x) + 10z = 1460 ⇒ 11x + 10z = 1460 (5)

For finding the value of z,

3 × equation (5) - 11 × equation (4),

We get,

30z - 11z = 4380 - 4180

19z = 200

z = 10.5263157895 ≈ 11

Hence, 11 dance tickets were sold.

it could be 1,3 and more others to create a cylinder.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
