4. 9 An ice cream shop sells small and large sundaes. One day, 30 small sundaes and 50 large sundaes were sold for $420. Another day, 15 small sundaes and 35 large sundaes were sold for $270. Sales tax is included in all prices. If x is the cost of a small sundae and y is the cost of a large sundae, write a system of equations to represent this situation. Peyton thinks that small sundaes cost $2.75 and large sundaes cost $6.75. Is Peyton correct? Justify your answer. Using your equations, determine algebraically the cost of one small sundae and the cost of one large sundae.

3) Our school's art teacher took his class to a concert hall and paid $512 for 10 adult tickets and 9 children tickets. The next day, our music teacher took our class to the same concert hall and paid a total of $831 for 17 children and 15 adults. If a represents the price of an adult ticket, and c represents the price of a child's ticket, which system of equations can be used to find how much each child ticket and each adult ticket cost?

The edges of a rectangular plece of plastic sheet are joined together to make a plastic tube. If the area of the plastic sheet is 284 cm", and the volume of the resulting tube is 134 cm³, what are the dimensions of the plastic sheet? Assume the sheet is longer than it is wide Determine the system of equations for this situation. Let x represent the width of the sheet, y represent the length of sheet. A represent the area of the sheet, and V represent the volume of the tube Assume that the width is used to form the circular base of the tube OA. A=xy v=mx² 4x OC. A-xy VaRx OB. A=xy v=Y²x² 4x OD. A=xy yx V=
A health food company wishes to make a trail mix consisting of dried fruit (costing $4 per pound) and mixed nuts (costing $8 per pound) for a total cost of $900. A total of 150 pounds of trail mix should be made, with there being twice as much dried fruit as mixed nuts. Set up a system of equations that models the problem. Identify all variables.
Kelly Fisher has a total of $40,000 invested in two municipal bonds that have yields of 7% (bond A) and 9% (bond B) interest per year, respectively. If the interest Kelly receives from the bonds in a year is $3,440, how much did she invest in each bond? Formulate a system of equations that can be used to find the solution where x is the number of dollars invested in bond A and y is the number of dollars invested in bond B. (Do not perform any row operations.) = 40,000 = 3,440 Write the augmented matrix corresponding to the system. (Do not reorder the equations. Let the first column represent x and the second column represent y.) 40,000 3,440 Using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method, pivot the matrix about the first entry in the first row. State the result. $ $ 640 Continue using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method until the final matrix is in row-reduced form. State the solution.

A basbeall game sold 805 tickets of three types. Deluxe tickets cost 50$, Gold tickets cost 30$, and standard tickets cost 15$. The number of gold tickets sold was 3 times more than standard tickets. If the total revenue obtained in the baseball game was 30,000$, find out how many tickets sold for each type. (Make sure to set up the system of equations)
The theater you work at has a total of 500 seats and sells three different types of tickets: - adult for $8 - senior citizens for $7 - Children for $5 (The theatre management only has information on the total of tickets sold and how much money they made.) For one night, They made $2,726 and there were only 57 open seats left. (They also sold twice as many child tickets as adult tickets) What is the system of equations that models the ticket sales for that night? Solve those system of equations. How many of each type of ticket was sold that night? please solve using gaussian elimination. show your work organized so I know how to go about completing this question. thank you!
