At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.40 and adult admission is $9.80. on wednesday, four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $1070.40. how many child tickets were sold that day?

the number of children tickets that were sold is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of child tickets sold at the movie theatre on Wednesday

Let y represent the number of adult tickets sold at the movie theatre on Wednesday.

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.40 and adult admission is $9.80.

On Wednesday, a total sales of $1070.40 was made. It means that

5.4x + 9.8y = 1070.40 - - - - - - -- 1

On Wednesday, four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold. This means that

y = 4x

Substituting x = 4y into equation 1, it becomes

5.4x + 9.8 × 4x = 1070.4

5.4x + 39.2x = 1070.4

44.6x = 1070.4

x = 1070.4/44.6 = 24

y = 24×4 = 96

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).

x = 1

step-by-step explanation:

0 ÷ x = 0

0 ÷ 1 = 0
